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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
