The Blessings of Obedience - Pastor Ade

In this message Pastor Ade shares with us the Blessings of Obedience. The story of Abraham was used as a case study. The Lord said to Abraham, "Go away from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you [abundantly], And make your name great (exalted, distinguished); And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others]."

And Abraham obeyed and believed God and it was counted as righteousness unto him. Obedience is the springboard to the accomplishment of purpose. Jesus said, "The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me." Because clarity is not always obvious, we must pay attention to details and ask thoughtful and collaborative questions.

We ought to also keep in mind that implicit obedience to divine guidance without clarity of goal bears no risk, only credibility to faith. May we all aspire to be as obedient as Abraham and get the benefits that come with it. Amen.
