ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Sunday June 23rd, 2024.

Topic : The Blessing Of Obedience.

Memory Verse : Deuteronomy 7:11. Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.

‭Deuteronomy 7:12-13 NIV‬. Key Verse : v13.

If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

One of the qualities of a disciple of Jesus Christ is that he obeys his commands. We relate with God in the new testament on the basis of grace. At the same time, we need to understand that grace teaches us to obey the Lord willingly and joyfully. God has never been and can never be pleased with anyone walking in disobedience. Even today, we need to understand that everything God does in the life of his people is determined by our personal response to him. For example, no one can be saved without believing in Jesus Christ. It is a condition for salvation as stipulated by the laws of God which anyone desiring to enjoy salvation as packaged by God in his son must embrace. If anyone thinks he doesn’t need Jesus, he will remain in his sins because the word of God can’t be broken. ‭”Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”” Acts 4:12.

In like manner, we know that the covenant blessings of God belongs to his children or followers. We need to realise at the same time that the condition for us to enjoy the full measure of these blessings in to obey his commands. Now we are following the example of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave us instructions to follow before returning to heaven, like in the area of evangelism and soul winning. If you watch his earthly life closely, you will discover that he lived to obey or do the will of the father. He wasn’t here to do his own bidding, but at every point in his ministry, he sought to obey the father, even in very difficult and inconvenient situations. “Then he withdrew from them a short distance to be alone. Kneeling down, he prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup of agony away from me. But no matter what, your will must be mine.”” Luke 22:41-42 TPT.

There are many blessings to enjoy from God’s presence when we follow Jesus Christ, if only we are ready to walk in obedience before him. When we confess and claim the blessings of God as contained in his word, we should at the same time be careful to observe as to obey every commandments of the Lord attached to them. We begin to reap the fruits of fellowship and Discipleship at the point of doing the word or putting them into practice. That is when the word releases the capacity to produce results in our hands and lives. “But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do! If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words then his heart is drifting away and his religion is shallow and empty. True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.” James 1:25-27 TPT.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for living on earth to obey the father. Like yourself, help me by your Spirit to always obey your commands to me, so that your blessings can be real in my daily life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 4:16-32.
