Rom 5:19. FOR AS BY ONE MAN’S DISOBEDIENCE MANY WERE MADE SINNERS, SO BY THE OBEDIENCE OF ONE SHALL MANY BE MADE RIGHTEOUS.
*Faith operates in an atmosphere where obedience is in operation. Obedience is one of the principle character of Faith. It is the kingdom Principal requriement to help you walk in the Blessing of Christ Jesus.
*Walking in disobedience is rebellion and abomination before God. Disobedience will rob you. The consequence of walking in disobedience is punishment. Disobedience is the demonstration of your decision to operate with a different kind of Life where by disqualifying yourself from grace. So sin came into the World through Mr. Adam.
*This consequence has extended to so many generations and it is still spreading daily.
*1Sam 15:11-24. It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king :for he is turned back from following me, and had not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel :and he cried unto the Lord all night. And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and be hold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. And Samuel came to Saul :and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord :I have performed the commandment of the Lord. And Samuel said, what meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? And Saul said, they have brought them from the Amalekites :For the people spared the best of the sheep and of oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God :and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, say on. Samuel said, when thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Isreal, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel? And the Lord sent thee on a JOURNEY, and said, go and utterly destroy sinners the Amalekites and fight against them until they be consumed. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord. And Saul said unto Samuel, yes, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amaleites. But the people took of the spoil sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrific unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal. And Samuel said, hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifics, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Be hold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned :for I have transgressed the commandment of the the Lord, and thy words :because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
*When you obey God, he will reward you. If you disobey Him, you will be rewarded with punishment. Disobedience will disconeect you from the Blessing.
*WHAT IS DISOBEDIENCE? IT IS SIMPLY JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN YOU AND SATAN COMING INTO AGREEMENT TO DISOBEY GOD. It is unruliness to the law or commandment of God. Disobedience will mean that you are saying from your heart secretly, I don’t want to walk with you, I have decided to walk away from the covenant of grace, the anointing and the power of Life and living. THE CONSEQUENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE IS REPROACH.
*If you are the citizen of the kingdom, God expects you to go through word Development that you may learn to operate with the principles of the kingdom. We should not be mischievous in our heart.
*Our first parents started the journey of Life with disobedience. Gen 3:23. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
*The consequence of Disobedience is that you will spiritually allow your enemy opportunity to have access to deal with you. They willingly disobeyed God. If faith worketh by love, it mean then that love is the producer of obedience. The kingdom characteristics of grace consist of truth, love and righteousness. John 14:15 Jesus speaking said. If ye love me, keep my commandments. If you love God you will obey Him. In an environment where Obedience is central, an atmosphere of mercy and goodness will cause Blessing to flow on you.
* Disobedience will disengage you from grace, except for repentance of sin. They (Mr. and Mrs. Adam) willingly traded the Comfort home Full of love with discomfort Full of hardship. Adam started the journey of living with disobedience,the punishment as consequence . THIS IS NOT GOD’S ORGINAL PURPOSE FOR MAN KIND.
*Jesus speaking in Matt 19:16-23. And be hold, one came and said unto Him, GOOD MASTER, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal Life? And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God :but if thou wilt enter into Life, keep the commandments. He saith unto Him, which? Jesus said, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt bear no false witness, Honour thy Father and thou mother :and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto Him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: WHAT lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have good treasure in heaven :and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful :For he had great possession. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, very I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. He walked away sorrowful because what Jesus told was contrarily to his desire.
*When you walk in obedience according to the word of God you demonstrate love, respect and Honour to Him, but disobedience will honour the devil.
*Jesus speaking in Matt 21:28-31. But what think you? A certain man had two sons :and he came to the first, and said, son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not:but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise, And he answered and said, I go, sir :and went not. Whither of them twain did the will of his Father? They say unto Him, the first. Jesus saith unto them, verily I say unto you, that the publicants and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. Obedience is demonstrating your loyalty to Christ Jesus as your Lord and master of your salvation. THE REQURIEMENT FOR PROMOTION IS OBEDIENCE.
