The strength of our relationship with God is a direct product of our obedience to God. Every form of disobedience robs us of our connection to God.
It’s important to note that every promise of God come with terms and conditions that must be kept in order for us to access them. The simple act of following God’s instructions is the pass code to our inheritance in Christ. Ok, it’s not so simple but we can make obeying God a lifestyle if we agree that God’s instructions are all in our best interest (Jeremiah 29: 11).
Obeying God can also be made easy through practice. Practice will always increase our abilities at an act. We can start practicing the act of consciously obeying God at very small things.
We almost all think about disobedience to God in terms of very big things like fornication, adultery stealing and the likes of those easily recognisable sins. Obedience to God should run from such small things as how we respond to our neighbour’s pains, to how we serve in His house and fellowship with Him. It should include how we are willing to play our roles as wives, husbands and children in a home. It should also include our willingness to allow Him to guide and control our lives.
The great king Solomon became God’s enemy after the celebrated blessings and friendship with God because of disobedience. ...“Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant. 1 King 11:11 NKJV
Action Point:
Take the Book of God’s instructions, study and walk in obedience. You might want to take one step at a time. Go ahead! His grace will surely multiple your strength.
