OBEDIENCE GUARANTEES PROSPERITY

Acts 13:22 (NIV), “After removing Saul God made David king. God testified concerning him: I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.”

Our decision to obey the dictates of God’s word is powerful; it guarantees our upliftment, prosperity and surplus, in all areas of life. From our anchor Scripture, it is clear that the reason why God decided to enthrone David is because God was sure of His heart and obedience! We can also see that the foundation of the throne of Saul began to shake when disobedience was found in his life (1 Samuel 15: 22-23). 

God loves to see you prosper; He loves to see you do well and make progress in your life and that is why He has sent this message to you today. Embrace obedience. Don’t take God’s word just as an advice but as instructions you must obey! Job 36:11 says, “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”

Do you want to enjoy prosperity in place of poverty? Do you want to experience pleasures in place of pressures? Then move beyond hearing the word, diligently obey and apply. Allow God’s word shape and change you, then you will begin to rise into your elevated position of royalty. Exodus 19:5 says, “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to me above all people; for all the earth is mine.” When you obey God, you become a special treasure to Him and He begins to fill your life with every pleasant treasure. 

The secret to the good life you seek is inside your obedience to what God command you to do. The commandments of God are never grievous, they are always for your enthronement. BE WILLING TO OBEY!  

FURTHER STUDY: Joshua 24: 24, “And the people said to Joshua, the LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey.”

CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS I HAVE DECIDED TO OBEY GOD’S WORD IN ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE, I HONOUR GOD’S WORD ABOVE MY COMMON SENSE AND EARTHLY TRADITIONS, I AM PROSPEROUS.

ACTION POINT: Endeavour to practice all of God’s word revealed to you.
