The curse of Christ comes upon those who disobey Him!

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Jonah 1:1-2

The word from God today is insubordination. In the context of Christ, this refers to all those who refuse to live under the authority of God.

Insubordination is placing yourself above God. It is believing you know what is best for yourself and refusing to submit to the will of God.

Many fear what will happen if they obey God and flee from the presence of the Lord.

Insubordination is the desire to satisfy the desires of the flesh above all else. You place self above God in the scheme of life.

The reality of Christ is disobedience brings a curse upon you. You can run away from God but will eventually have to face punishment for your actions.

Walking with Christ is living by faith in the promises of God and yielding to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Coming under the authority of Christ brings His protection over your life.

Those who live under the authority of Christ do not question or complain about His will for their life. They submit to Christ with praise and thanksgiving.

The authority of Christ is agreeing to obey God without expectations.

The authority of Christ relates to loyalty not results.

At times, the authority of Christ will bring persecution and suffering.

The authority of Christ is obeying God when it makes no sense to you.

Finally, the authority of Christ is giving up your autonomy to walk in submission to Christ.
