LIVING ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD
As children of God, we ought to realize that our Father is the King of kings. He is the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth and all that is there in. many know Him as God and creator, but not all know Him as Father. For as many as yielded their lives to be ruled by the standard of His Word and washed by the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ and have become born again; we have the privilege of being His children.
As His children, we are perpetually before Him. We bear His name, we are possessed by His Spirit, our hearts have become His throne and we are in His courts. Rightly put, we are in the seat of power! The whole of creation earnestly gaze at us. God rules and reigns true us and we cannot afford to live recklessly.

Delicate living is a life lived in strict compliance with laid down rules and regulations. It is a life cautiously lived. In living cautiously, you cannot afford to be off your guards. We are in the king’s court, right in a kingdom consisting of men and women whose lives have been transformed and translated. It is a kingdom where order and decency is carried out.
The kingdom is the Lord’s! You have no agenda of your own to operate with. The order in the kingdom is not negotiable, neither is it adjustable. It is there for men to comply with. As a member of the kingdom, it is your covenant responsibility to subject and submit yourselves to the practices of the kingdom as contained in the Word of God.
You have to diligently apply yourself to it, ensuring you do not fail any bit. This puts the whole of your being under check. Everything about your speech, conduct, actions, dressing is monitored by the mirror of God’s Word. You are in the King’s court: you are in a glass house! It is a delicate structure, too delicate for careless living.
