Obedience

Bible Text
1 Samuel 15:22-23 KJV
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. [23] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.



Disobedience is an expensive currency which can bankrupt a man in the sight of the Most High God. While Obedience is the key into a hassle free breakthrough and advancement in life. Prophet Samuel defined Disobedience as "Rebellion, a sin of witchcraft and the human agent which causes such action in the character of a child of God is stubbornness - an iniquity and idolatry (lustful desires for what is not permitted). King Saul was given an instruction to waste his enemies but he disobeyed and got carried away by his lust and distracted heart. While King David was obedient to the voice of the Lord that he testified - Psalm 18:40-42 KJV
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. [41] They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. [42] Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

God is still calling men today, but out of the many called, very few are chosen - these few are those who obey the voice of the LORD every step of the way. 

Question - How far can you go with the Lord?

King Saul did not disobey prophet Samuel but God Almighty and he lost his throne and kingdom because of repeated disobedience. Likewise today in our local churches, we often disobey God's instructions for our lives thinking it's the pastor. Only those few who truly believes in God's word via His servants that actually prosper. 

Obedience saved Noah from the flood, directed Abraham into an abundant land, delivered the centurion's child, it made Christ Jesus to succeed in life and ministry. It saved Apostle Paul, Peter and many men and woman who were led by the Holy Spirit. To be obedient is to be submissive to God first and let His words be "Yea and Amen" in our life.
2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.


PRAYER 
• LORD I repent for disobeying your voice and your words.
• Heavenly Father I surrender all to you I choose to be free and obedient in life.
• Every stubborn traits, wrong attitude and character I possess within me, hear the Word of God be mortified and blotted out in Jesus name.


INSIGHT
Obedience is better than sacrifice.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Bread of Life

DATE 13th April, 2023 TOPIC Bread of Life LIVING SCRIPTURE John 6:35 KJV And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Pointing out the real sustainnance for every soul, Jesus Christ said to as many that will believe, I am the bread of life. Where does your strength come from? Is it from the gym or the physical diet you eat of that sustains you through life? Or a medical prescription by the best doctor in the world? What sustains you O child of God! The multitude returned to Jesus but not because of the things of God but for more physical bread and Christ Jesus taught them on the life giving bread that which is unending and eternal. Anyone that eats of this bread shall never hunger nor thirst again for any spiritual meal order than the Word of God and fellowship. Nicodemus came by night to Jesus and requested for the way to be saved and gain eternal life. Jesus taught him how to eat of the brea...

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...
