Obedience brings success....!

Genesis 22:15-18 NKJV

Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord , because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son — blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

Shalom! Day #79. Do you know that through your obedience to God brings you blessings? Let's pray. Father, today we inclined our hearts to hear Your instructions and to obey Your Words as You teach us to live uprightly before You the rest of our lives. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

I start today's devotional series from word in Hebrews 3:15 NKJV while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” Rebellion destroys God's plans, purposes and blessings in our lives. But obedience to God activates the plan, the purposes as well as the blessings of God in your lives. In today's verse, we read about how Abraham understood what God really wanted and execute the plan of God but He didn't know that it would unleash the blessings of God upon his life. Why I said Abraham understood what God really wants because, the amount or shall I say the level of faith he has in God. His faith in God enabled him to understand what God really wanted and he very well know that God will provide the lamb for the burn sacrifice. His obedience was paid of. Even to the very point of sacrificing his son, Isaac.

Obedience is the key to God's extraordinary blessings. Obedience is the key to success. When you obey and meditate the word of God and do all it says, you will prosper in everything you do. Abraham did not questioned God, but just did as per commanded by God because of the level of faith he has in God because the level of spiritual maturity he has, because of the level of faithfulness he has in God. What about us today? Are we being obedient to God and His calling?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
