Instructions are assets when it is given from a clean heart with a loving motive. They bring success when followed. Both the Giver and Receiver celebrate the outcome of giving, receiving and acting according to the instructions.

In a football match, where a team carried the day, the Coach answered a reporter's question thus, "Yes, we are able to win because my boys played according to Instructions given them."

The Coach of the losing team attributed the loss to his team members not playing according to the instructions given them. Winning or losing is attached to Instructions.

In both cases, one thing is sure, the Coaches gave a specific instructions to follow. It means the teams members were sure of what to do and which way to go.

Contrarily, what happens when conflicting Instructions are given? Confusion! The one Instructed by the instructor will be confused not knowing what to do. The final outcome can be a disaster of any form. A conflicting instruction will never favor anyone. A confused man is a defeated man already.

Are you an instructor? Which type of Instructions do you give? Do you give instructions from a pure heart or to confuse others or to destroy them? Repent! You cannot determine in advance what the outcome or the extent of damage your wrong Conflicting Instructions will be and the number of people who will become victims of your conflicting or bad Instructions.

Not only that, have you been given an instruction from a person who desires your good? Follow it for your own advantage and that of others who may live or benefit by your obedience.

Be very careful of people who give you conflicting instructions and do not be among those who give others such. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
