OBEDIENCE

Topic: OBEDIENCE

Text :  Isaiah 1:19.

If you’re willing and obedient, you’ll eat the best that the land produces.

One thing God demands from all His children is Obedience, and this is one thing the devil doesn't want you to give.

From the very beginning, the devil saw to it that the first man disobeyed God and mankind is still paying for that disobedience. 

But thanks be to God who didn't leave us in this sorry state. Hear His mind on this matter -

 *For just as through one man’s disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man’s obedience many people will be made righteous.* (Romans 5:19).

This goes to show that the impact of your obedience or otherwise will outlive you.

When Adam decided to disobey God, it led humanity to sin and death. When Abraham decided to obey God, his generation (you and I inclusive) are benefiting from his blessing.

For every act of obedience there is a blessing attached to it just as every act of disobedience attracts punishment too.

Our text says if you are willing and obedient, you’ll eat the best that the land produces. Invariably, if you aren't willing nor obedient, the good of the land will elude you.

Now, the good of the land may spell out different things to different people, but the underlying point is, you will see 'good'. Hence, the only caveat to experiencing good as a child of God is obedience. 

Ask the Lord to give you grace for prompt and total Obedience. 

Bible Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20.
