WE ARE NOT RULED BY THE DOGMAS OF MEN.

As children of God; we are not meant to be ruled by the dogmas of men, but by the constitution of the Lord God Almighty. There is no other foundation that can be laid, other than that which has already been laid. You will do well to stay divinely aligned, if you truly seek glory, immortality and eternal life. Scriptures affirm –
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). You are not permitted to do your own; because you are really not your own: As a child of God, you are God’s purchased possession. You that think you can live the way you like; the Bible cautions –
“what? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
We are meant to stay inclined unto God’s constitution, which is His Word. Our text passage enjoins us to search the Scriptures; because they testify of God and they form the very framework of our thinking. God’s Word is His constitution for living; it is one form of constitution given to men which the devil respects so highly. If you truly seek to stay out of satanic molestation; you will have to get used to God’s Word which is His constitution for living. Staying inclined to God’s Word is the regression the devil suffers from your divinely appointed path in life.
When the devil knows that you know; he will no longer see you as a candidate for affliction. Staying glued to God’s constitution which is His Word, is getting divinely positioned on the highway of holiness which turns out to become an express route to seeing the reality of God’s power in our experiences and seeing Him one day, face to face as He is: for without holiness no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
God’s constitution which is His Word, reveals His status. It tells us exactly who God is and how we can relate with Him to make our lives meaningful. You are to relate with God according to the terms set forth by His Word; you have nothing of your own to do. It’s all by Him and all for Him; for by Him all things consist. We are not sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as of ourselves; our sufficiency is of Him. In His constitution lies His provisions and allowances for our lives. If you don’t want to suffer bankruptcy in the race of life; get acquainted with His provisions. This acquaintance is what guarantees the delivery of His goods into your life.
