Text: 1 Samuel
15:22(KJV)
But Samuel replied:
Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying
the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat
of rams.
Friends, obedience to God ultimately is not an option
but it is mandatory. It is not negotiable in this kingdom because it a key that
unlocks all expectations. Remember, good works, offering and activities in
church does not replace the act of obedience to God’s instruction. Hence, there
is no compensation to disobedience. It is obedience or nothing. So, we must
walk into his will with total dedication that is rooted in love. John 14:15 If you
love me, keep my commands.
So, partial obedience equals to disobedience as it amount to nothing.
Therefore, let’s learn to follow full compliance to God’s leading even in
difficult matters because it is embedded with the secret to our answers. It is
an act of love and not just following instruction but a heart that is willing
and consistent to God’s will. I pray we shall be empowered by the Holy Spirit to
obey as to deepen our intimacy with God. Galatians 5:16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the
flesh.
Therefore, let’s form the habit of following God
completely and absolutely notwithstanding the experience of yesterday. Isaiah 1:19
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good
things of the land. We need to allow Godly influence at all times. Yes,
the instruction of today overrides yesterday’s failure just like the obedience
of the disciple in Luke 5 that brought about net brake of the multitude of fish
as the ship began to sink. Hence, we should not wait for convenience to obey
God as it brings God’s favour and blessing even to abundance just by prompt
obedience today and God will strengthen our act of obedience in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, pour your grace upon us to obey and submit to your word by the
spirit of God to surrender for all in Jesus name.
