Walking in Obedience



 Walking in Obedience

Theme Scripture:
“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” — Isaiah 1:19 (KJV)


Exposition

Obedience is the gateway to blessing in the kingdom of God. Throughout Scripture, God’s promises are tied to our willingness to obey His instructions. Abraham obeyed and became the father of nations. Noah obeyed and preserved humanity. Jesus obeyed unto death, and through Him salvation came to all.

Disobedience, on the other hand, brings delay, loss, and even destruction. Saul lost his throne because he chose partial obedience (1 Samuel 15:22–23). True obedience is not just about hearing God’s Word but doing it wholeheartedly.

Walking in obedience means aligning your life with God’s will, even when it is not convenient or easy. It requires humility, surrender, and trust. But the reward is certain: those who obey will experience the goodness of the land, open heavens, and divine favor.


Lessons to Learn

  1. Obedience is the proof of love for God.
  2. Partial obedience is disobedience in God’s eyes.
  3. Obedience opens doors of blessing and divine favor.
  4. Disobedience attracts loss and rejection.
  5. Walking in obedience requires surrender and faith.

Actions to Take

  • Identify areas of your life where you’ve delayed or ignored God’s instructions.
  • Repent and realign yourself to walk in full obedience.
  • Practice immediate obedience, not delayed responses.
  • Seek the help of the Holy Spirit to obey even in difficult situations.
  • Remember: obedience is better than sacrifice.

  • Deuteronomy 28:1–2
  • 1 Samuel 15:22
