Shall we lift up our two hands and give God thanks for answering our prayers. Thank Him for those awesome testimonies. Thank you Jesus.
Now, Ask God to speak to you this morning, he will always forever confirm His word in the lives of those who care to believe. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Why do you call me Lord, Lord if you won’t do what I tell you? What you call me won’t change your story, it’s doing what I tell you that will.
Nothing commits God for our desired change of story like our obedience. Whatsoever He tells you to do, do it if you truly what a change of story.
Grace to walk in delightsome obedience, lift up your two hands and receive it. Ask God for it.
How much we talk about it is not important, how much of what He says to do, we do is what matters. Lord grace to walk in delightsome obedience, give it to me this morning. Ask God for that unusual grace everybody. Receive it now everyone. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Thank you Jesus, Father thank you for we saw the noiseless power of obedience in those testimonies. Now grant each of us here today the grace for delightsome obedience in our walk with you in Jesus precious name we pray.
Every blessing of the kingdom is in response to our obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1). It is our obedience that attracts his blessings. Where your obedience stops is where His blessings stops.
We don’t need to pray even one prayer for this church to be doubled if every one that takes note in service believes in the instruction of you owe God two souls. Some will laugh at me to scorn “Papa stop that, I don’t owe God anything I am not the Saviour ”.
Among the schemes of the devil is that he takes advantage of believers by making them to believe in a lie and he is very old in the game. He tells you “ You don’t have to do it if this can happen without doing anything”, Good but what else has happened since that time. He gave you a taste of what He can do, but what else you receive will be by obedience, that is why you have not received anything more since that time. Obedience is an investment into your generation. Please don’t believe in that lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11). Jesus fulfilled his mission by being obedient, even unto the death of the cross and he secured His eternal throne through obedience.
The devil is behind it, they call it “the mystery of iniquity”, he walks in you and me against God’s commandment telling us God will do it anyway, he has done it for many people. “I know my sister, she has not won any soul in her life and she has given birth to ten children”
The drops of blessing came and the showers of blessing is waiting and will only come down through your obedience. Where your obedience and my obedience stops is where His blessings stop.
- You won’t stop the blessing of God in your life.
As far as God is concerned no reason is ever tenable for disobedience. You don’t time God, he times you. Saul lost his throne to disobedience. We have been redeemed as kings and queens but many have lost their throne to disobedience. The good news is, it is never late to be right. You can recapture that.
If every member of this church commits to leading one soul to Jesus and see them established in the faith. You don’t need this heavy prayer to have the church doubled. But, you might be surprised that we might have only 3 percent or 4 percent like in the case of Gideon’s army, 32000 enlisted but only 300 remained. Many are called but few are chosen. Few choose to obey, others come and relax and count on the experience, as if experience is a substitute for obedience. Experience is no substitute for obedience. Obedience might be costly but the end result is ever priceless.
People will say “What a wicked instruction, he waited for a son for 25 years and when the son finally came, he said God said he should sacrifice him . How dare you? You must be wicked. You think God is a fool? You think God will give you a son and say you should slay him, my God! The devil spoke to you”. That is why Abraham never tells anybody when God tells him what to do, he goes ahead. So that they don’t pollute his walk with God. He went and secured the blessings of God to his generations after him. Abraham is no longer here but we are here and we are now privileged sons and daughters of Abraham in Christ. Today the natural stock of Abraham will keep making waves till the end of time. There is no nation on earth without the input of Jews at one level or the other. There is no field on earth without the input of the Jews at one level or another. The obedience of Abraham brought them in an everlasting blessing.
- May your obedience bring your seed and your seed’s seed into an everlasting blessing.
Obedience speaks louder than voice, we started that yesterday. God does not only answer prayers, he also responds to our acts of obedience. (1 Samuel 15:22-23). Saul never did anything, he just simply disobeyed and lost his throne. We serve a God of knowledge by whom actions are weighed. He is not waiting for your words, He is marking your actions. God marks our actions to determine his manifestations in our lives (1 Samuel 2:3). In 2 Corinthians 10, the Bible calls it our mighty weapons of warfare, so that when your obedience is fulfilled, you have committed God to level out all opposition in the way. Just obey him and he levels out all attacks, oppositions on your life.
Raw obedience brought this church to this place, that appear very costly and senseless. All I heard God say was “This is the place”, contrary to my little knowledge of church growth, contrary to what I had thought all those years. This is the place, it might not look so to anybody but this is the place. You cannot tell what is in obedience until you have obeyed. Too many things came out of that simple obedience.
- May your obedience in this season bring you and your household into a brand new world of grace and glory.
We all saw how the Red Sea gave way to simple raw obedience. Pharaoh’s army behind, Red Sea in front, He said “tell them to go forward” and they went forward like senseless people, Senseless obedience and the sea saw them and cleared. When God sends you, He goes before you. When He goes before you, he clears all opposition in your path, He makes the crooked path straight. The sea saw God coming before them and gave way because the creation will always bow before the Creator. Their obedience made a highway for them on the Red Sea, no body dropped inside, it was about three thousand feet deep so no one would have survived. They went through on the highway by their obedience.
- Receive grace for delightsome and tireless obedience.
Your obedience today will always show tomorrow. When we walk in full obedience impossible doors open to us on their own accord.
- It is your turn.
If you check all testimonies we have been hearing, they are all rooted in “I committed myself” “I prayed kingdom advancement prayers”, “I went after souls”, everyone of them is rooted in obedience because a miracle is simply God confirming his word that you have decided and chosen to put to work. God was working with them confirming the Word with signs following. We serve a covenant keeping God not a Father Christmas God. (Psalms 114:1-9)
Obedience will always secure heaven’s presence and God’s presence always make the difference. Impossible doors always opens to those who walk in full Obedience to every instruction. Your presence does not change your story in a church, it is your obedience that does. You come to church to be stirred up to see the power and glory of obedience, but obedience is what determines your change of story. There is no one that is genuinely committed who would have a problem bringing a soul to church next Sunday, But many have graduated from the school of obedience in their own sight. That shows where your heart is. You can’t have a heart for God and despise his commandment.
- No one here shall derail
There is nothing you do or don’t do that impacts on God. Everything you do impacts your life positively and everything you don’t do impacts on your life otherwise. You can’t access confirmation without obedience. No matter how real your desire is, my story and your story cannot change without doing what God commands to do for the season.
Lift up your two hands and one more time ask God for the spirit of grace that will help you to keep obeying God to the full and to the end. Lift up your two hands and take that grace from heaven.
- It is your turn for a supernatural change of story via your raw obedience.
Ask God for grace to deliver your own minimum two established souls in the kingdom.
Don’t ever get tired because you are so close to the realization of God’s agenda for your life.
Give God thanks and speak to the day
Lord make today a day of awesome walk with You, a day of great fruitfulness.
Speak to the day, Make your declarations concerning the day right now.
Begin to give thanks to Him, appreciate and celebrate God. Father thank you.
