THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH: A KEY TO SUSTAINING GOD’S FAVOUR

 

TIMES OF REFRESHING

 

ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL by Obiorah Prince Emeka

DATE: SATURDAY 26 SEPTEMBER 2020

Yesterday, it was established that a person’s love for Jesus is directly proportional to sustaining God’s favour upon his life. And for one to obtain favour from God, he must be fully committed to Jesus, worship and revere Him, identify with His pain, gain a heart like His and display His characteristics in his life.

 

Today, we shall be looking at “The Obedience of Faith, a key to sustaining God’s favour”. Obedience to God demonstrates Faith. When we obey God, we show our trust and faith in him: 

 

SCRIPTURE:

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession… (Exodus 19:5) NIV

 

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY:

The grace to sustain favour in life is tied to your obedience to God.

 

God told Abraham to leave his country, his people and everything he knew and “go to the land that I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). Even though Abraham knew very little of God at that time, he left everything familiar and went out “even though he did not know where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8). That is obedience characterized with faith. And God did not just favour Abraham, He blessed him beyond measure.

 

Beloved, can you say “Yes am in” to God when He unfolds a path before you that looks uncertain, undesirable, or maybe even threatening? Is God asking you to take a step of faith even if you don’t have a “comfortable feeling” about it? I encourage you, develop obedience in faith, surrendered heart like Abraham and you shall find favour from God.

 

Stay Lifted!

 

NOTE THIS:

The grace to sustain favour in life is tied to your obedience to God.

 

RESPONSIBILITY:

Learn to trust God, and at all times demonstrate absolute obedience to His instructions. 

 

PRAYER:

O LORD, cause me to obey your commands and give me a larger than life faith, in Jesus name, Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)

 

PROPHETIC WORD:

As you obey God, may He favour you and yours, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

BIBLE TEXTS: Exodus 19:5, Hebrew 11:6; 11:18
