Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not (Methali 8:32-33)
Jesus speaks to the children, to the sons of God, which we have become in Him. By the sacrifice of Jesus, and by His resurrection, we have become, through faith in Him, and by regeneration, wana wa Mungu. We are not sons of man anymore, but we have become wana wa Mungu.
Listen to Jesus
Jesus speaks to the sons and commands them to listen to Him. Sisi, as sons of God, ought to listen to Jesus; neno. We should keep His ways, which means that we should kuzishika amri zake, and not turn away from them.
Don’t refuse Jesus’ instruction
Because of pride, many times people refuses the instruction of Jesus (neno), because they think they know it better or have their own opinion, which doesn’t line up with the Word.
But if you want to stay in Him, then you will hear His instruction and apply His instruction in your life. Kwa sababu tu basi, shall you become wise, and walk in wisdom. Hii sio hekima ya ulimwengu. Kwa sababu hekima ya ulimwengu ni upumbavu kwa Mungu. But it shall be the wisdom of God, that goes beyond all wisdom of man. But you shall only become wise, if you hear His instruction, and apply it in your life.
