DEBORAH'S EPISTLE

  Rebellion is simply not following authority or laws, going contrary to the laid rules and regulations. Speaking of rebellion to God, it simply means not regarding God's authority over humanity, not following his commandments and most particularly committing several atrocities.  Rebellion to the Father largely comes in form of sins, going through the book of Ezekiel (chapter 2:3), the children of Israel were described as a rebellious nation, an impudent nation and stiff-hearted people.  Abba sent Ezekiel to warn the Israelites of their rebellious act as the Lord of Hosts made it known that they and their Fathers are full of transgressions which God could not bear as His face cannot behold iniquity. Going further, He instructed the prophet to take his warnings to them as against His day of visitation so they can turn away from their evil ways and call unto the Kings of kings. The Israelites were most rebellious in the sense that they worshipped lesser gods thereby underes...

  Reading through the books of Ezekiel, It made me remember when I was much younger, I visited my granny's house and unknown to me they just got two new dogs to watch over the house, my very small self was just bouncing inside the compound as usual as I was not aware there were new watchdogs in the house.
