Obedience Still Counts

 Sometimes, it is best to explain Obedience as ‘compliance and total submission to an order, law or request; even at difficult, inconvenient moments’. Yes, that explanations gives the reality of what Obedience will actually demand and cost us in reality. Usually, it is easy for anybody to talk about ‘obedience’ but attention is not always drawn to the fact that obedience never always comes with ‘convenience’ or to say the flesh will always want to counter obedience.

Obedience still counts! Brethren, it always a tactics of the Devil and the remnant of the flesh (old ways) in a person’s life to counter any place where Obedience is demanded (Proverbs 10:17). Open the Bible and draw your points of reference from every great person identified in the Bible, you’ll be able to note that: Obedience is either attached to their success or greatness or maybe they fell and couldn’t obey (which is always the work of the Devil’s deceit, greed, ignorance etc.)

There are examples of persons in the Bible who fell victims and could not obey, but it will be best to talk about the ones who obeyed and prevailed. Jesus amongst others, HE obeyed the Father. He never counted himself equal with God, but He simply obeyed even at difficult moments (Philippians 2:6) He was God also himself, but He obeyed to the call of His mission: To die for the sins of mankind.

You are also a believer, but you don’t trust God even to obey His words? Well, that is no good. God demands obedience to every of His words (James 1:22). This will not cost you anything, begin building trust and confidence in God, Humble yourself (even to authorities in the Church, Work place and even the country). John 14:23 Deliberately Step Ahead to Begin Please And Obey God From Today Onward!
