THE WAY OF OBEDIENCE

Resurrection and Life (John 11:25)

Welcome to the living church of the Living God, the Spirit Life Centre for All Nations. To find quality time to pray and worship Jehovah God is very important for the good of our future and our hopes in God. When you have hope in Jehovah God to do this or that for you, to give you this or that, make sure that you always pray and worship Him while you are waiting on Him to fulfil your hopes. Jehovah God can never disappoint those who make quality time to pray and worship Him, always, not sometimes.

Obeying Jehovah God at first seems hard until we come to see that all He asks is for our good and makes life full and free. Why is it hard at first? It is hard at first because it involves making a U-turn from the usual to the unusual. I mean a turning point against our usual way, against the popular will of our friends, relations, and peer groups who want you back in their fold. If you must resist them, you must be ready to face persecution and attack from them. But relax – He will not leave you without victory. The way of obedience is the way of blessings; the way of obedience is the way of a bright future. The way of obedience is the way of sacrifice. No sacrifice, no obedience.

For you to reach that future, the question you need to ask yourself is: Do you have a vision? If you don’t have a vision, others would become your role model - you would be looking to others for direction instead of looking to the Holy Spirit, who is our Guide. Because of that, you would strive to receive the approval of people and be ready to compromise your faith and disobey God’s instructions to please the crowd. However, if you have a vision, you would not look to others for direction; you would wait on Jehovah God. Your vision has to do with where you are going. If you don’t have a vision, you can never be focused in a direction and therefore, never fully obey God’s instructions. When you know where you are going, whatever happens to you midway cannot change your focus or push you into disobedience to God’s Word. Because you would know that failing to obey the Word of the Lord in your heart and life would mean failing your future.

I have come to realize that many people do not obey God, their Creator, because they don’t know what is in it for them. And this is caused by a lack of studying the Holy Scriptures. As a human being, you must learn to know yourself, how human beings are. Human being never trusts what they don’t know how it will benefit or profit them. Once they can see what they can get out of something they won’t mind killing, stealing, destroying, or sacrificing even their last important thing just to get whatever it is. So failure to study the Holy Scriptures makes us ignorant of what is in them for us from God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Hence, the devil always seeks to keep each and every person too busy to be tired to read their Holy Bible. Because he knows that once we can study the Holy Bible and discover the truth of Jehovah God in it about ourselves, we will rise to the level of authority and power just like unto our God. Which is Jehovah God’s Will for us to reign and rule with Him in power over satan and all his principalities and powers of the dark world.

There are things that you must do each and every day, even if you don’t feel like it, but for the sake of your future. Remember when I talk about your future, I am talking about Jehovah God because He is the Future we hope to see one day. He is the Future we hope to have and live one day.

PRAYER: Ask Jehovah God to give you an obedient heart and not a rebellious one, in Jesus’ Name!
