Obedience: Simple But Complex

...Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice... - 1 Samuel 15:22

Obedience: Simple but Complex

Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult for folks to obey simple instruction. God told Adam, do not eat from this tree. It was a simple thing to do (maybe) but he ended up eating it with his wife.

Don’t do this, don’t do that but yet you will still do it. So why do we have a difficulty obeying the simple instruction. If there is anything to learn from the fall of Adam, it was his stupidity in disobeying a simple instruction. He lost virtually everything when he disobey.

Life will be easier if everyone could be obedient but I guess we can’t. Disobedience in humans is by default. It takes the mind of Christ in a believer for him/her to live a obedient life pleasing unto God.

Why obedience seem to be difficult for us is because we are bent on doing it our way. When you don’t see the reason for obedience, it become very easy to disobey.

Disobedience is also difficult because the devil will block your sight from seeing the long term benefits of obeying especially when doing it is tough for you.

Obeying God is ever advantageous and beneficial to you.

Everything God ask you to do is always for your own benefits. The benefits In obeying Him goes to you, the consequences of disobeying Him also goes to you.

Abraham had a loving relationship with God in that He obeyed Him even in the midst of not seeing anything.

Samuel told Saul when God took his kingdom away that ‘to obey is better than sacrifice than to harken the fat of ram.’

Many problems in this life would have been averted if people will obey.

An instruction may be simple, but obeying the instruction could be difficult. When you begin to realize the good in obeying what God says, obedience becomes part of you.

The grace to obey is available for you trough Jesus Christ.

It’s a beautiful morning, a great weekend it gonna be.. Do enjoy the weekend with all its blessings...

The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
