IT WAS BECAUSE OF OBEDIENCE

There is a great and transforming power in obedience and there are greater rewards when we walk in obedience with all sincerity of purpose with our God. Your obedience to God can and will definitely change you; can and will positively affect you and your family, your spouse, your profession, your finances, your relationship, your job, and your children forever. It can and will definitely affect the way God deals with you and the ways that people will ever treat and use you thereafter. ‘Come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” Isaiah 1:16-20

Just because of your sincere and willing obedience, God can take you and will take you to the very top of His plans and desires on earth. Obedience is the key thing in the life of a Christian that will make God to intervene with His full authority and institute His plans. Obedience to divine principles is never an act of weakness or foolishness or the lack of intellectual capacity as some may think and say; it is a mark of submissiveness to God, meekness and loyalty to Him alone. Obedience is a direct call for God to act out His written words, His spoken promises, His revealed dreams and visions and His divine intent in our lives. Obedience to the divine words of God is a sign of our willingness and submissiveness to become what had been said and to follow the path that had been set before us in doing things. Obedience to the words of God despising whatever pains that will follow the decision is the only best way to show our love and preference to God, and to see Him to move in our lives with the fullness of His power as Christians.

Your obedience to God in everything will definitely change your life for the best irrespective of your dreams, your desires, your current situations and the actions of men that had been of much pains and concern to your well-being. Abraham succeeded not because he heard the voice of God speaking to and promising to bless him, but because he obeyed and followed and did what God had asked for him to do that moment without looking back and without considering the effects of such actions on his person and what he will loss in following those words. Through his single act of obedience, Abraham and Sarah were able to have a child in the covenant despite their old age and became a father of nations thereafter; through that single obedience Abraham was blessed beyond the imaginations of men and his wealth passed down to this present generation who will also decide to walk in obedience. Through that same obedience Isaac was saved from destruction and victory was given to Abraham in all battles even when he was cheated by Lot, God turned it into a blessing. Through obedience, God fulfilled all His promises to Abraham; purposely giving him all the blessings that heaven can think of without withholding anything from him; making him rich in all things above everyone around him; making him to become a great nation that is called Israel today and the body of Christ. Through obedience God blessed Abraham, made him famous, and made him to be a blessing to others. Through Abraham’s obedience, God decided to bless all those who will ever blessed him and to curse those who will ever treat him with any form of contempt, and promise all the families on earth a blessing through him.  

The salvation of your soul sets the stage for your divine expected change and God’s personal intervention together with His angels in your life to begin without further hindrances again; it opens the door for you to have excellent personal relationship with God; it gives you the grace to petition heaven in prayers and to glorify God in the perfection of His holiness; it opens the door of your heart to have spiritual understanding to His words and to receive wisdom to live the life that God had destined for you. It gives you the grace to hear God speak through His words and His spirit, and all you will need thereafter is to walk in obedience. For prayers Click here
