How To Obey God

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I hope you have been following our series on obedience, and learning how to obey God. We have Father Abraham as our case study and I believe we have learnt one or two things in the past few days.

The truth is that obedience pays. The bible says Abraham obeyed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Wow! What a testimony.

This morning, I will be sharing with us how to obey God.

There are several ways by which you can obey God. Let us consider a few.

Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. – Genesis 12 verse 1,4 (NKJV)

One way we are to obey God is by obeying Him wholeheartedly. Obey with all your heart, not part of your heart. In God, it is either you give him all or you give him none.

See what God says about your heart

And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, – Deuteronomy 10:12 (KJV)

The same way you cannot love God halfheartedly is the same way you cannot obey God halfheartedly.

The obedience God recognizes is obedience that is devoid of grumbling or complaining.

When your parents ask you to do something for them, and you grumble, murmur, or complain, you lose the blessing therein.

Let’s learn to obey God wholeheartedly so we don’t lose our reward.

May God bless you. Amen.

Prayer:
Oh Lord, help me to obey you with all my heart.

Action point:
In what ways have you been disobedient? Repent and make amends.

Declaration:
I am an obedient child in Jesus name, Amen.
