Memory verse:     

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.”            – Deu. 28:1-2.

The commandment to obey God and His word is absolutely to the benefit of believers (2Tim. 3:16-17). This is because the obedience of a believer is the trigger for God’s blessing on his life (Deu. 28:1-2). This means that the level of each person’s obedience determines the dimension of God’s blessing he walks in (Jms. 1:25). This is what makes the difference between believers; why it seems God is partial; it is because our obedience is what fundamentally determines our outcome as individuals.

Scriptural Helps for Obedience to God’s Word.

1. Understand that Obedience is Either Total or Fake.

There is nothing like partial or half obedience in this kingdom (1Sam. 15:13-20). An individual is either in obedience or disobedience; when the obedience is not total, it is disobedience (2Cor. 10:3-6).

2. The Example of Naaman.

Naaman was a top Syrian soldier with great resume, but was a leper (2Kgs. 5:1-2). He was given a prophetic instruction to dip in River Jordan 7 times to be made whole, he obeyed, and at the 7^th dip he came out cleansed of leprosy (2Kgs. 5:9-14; Lk. 4:25-27).

3. Obedience Invokes Divine Manifestation.

Scripture shows clearly that God will always manifest Himself to the obedient (Mat. 22:36-40; Rms. 8:28).

Jesus is Lord!
