Be Obedient – Be Blessed



Willful disobedience to the will of God does not bring about His blessings. It does, however, bring about estrangement towards Him. As Christians, when we deliberately disregard God’s will for our life we break His heart. Our Lord and Saviour gave His all in order to reconcile us with God, the Father. When we accepted His gift of salvation, in essence, we gave Him complete control over our life. From that point one, He became our Provider, Protector, Healer, Deliverer, Defender, Redeemer, Advocate, Comforter, Counselor, Peace, Joy, FATHER! And everything else in our life is what He became to us. His Word tells us that He only desires goodness for us:

“We know that God works together in all things for the ultimate good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.” ~ Romans 8:28

The key to receiving His goodness and blessing is contained within the caveat “those who love God”. How are those that love God identified? Jesus stated:

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.” ~ John 14:15

The Lord’s commands are in His word – the Bible –, which requires us to get into the Word; read it, study it, and ask God to show us what His will is for us. Prayer is one of the ways that we can receive His instructions. Consider prayer as a virtual text or chat session – we can’t actually see or hear the other entity that we are communicating with, but by using our sense of eyesight we receive the message. God’s uses the Holy Spirit to speak to us through all of our various senses.

Asking and receiving the Lord’s direction, guidance and commands (His will) is the first step to receiving His blessings. The second step is to be obedient to His will. He will never command us to do something that He has not already prepared us to be able to do. By faith we are to accept His providence and carryout His will for our life. Through this selfless act, we demonstrate our love for God, and His goodness and blessings for us will become evident.

Do you yearn for a closer relationship with the Lord, and to experience His blessings for your life? Train and condition yourself to hear His commands, and be obedient to them. Once you have developed this personal habit – you will be utterly surprised by His mercy and goodness in and through you!
