OBEDIENCE HAS GREAT REWARDS

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Deuteronomy 28:1

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”

Additional Verses

📖 Deuteronomy 28:1-14; 1 Samuel 15:1-35; Mark 11:22-26; Acts 4:15-22

God has given us His Word to guide and direct our lives while we live in this world. Obedience to His Word has got great rewards just as Deuteronomy 28:1 above assures. Deuteronomy 28:1-14 lists the many blessings that come your way once you fully yield yourself to God’s Word. God is not a respecter of personalities but instead He responds to your faith and faith is your positive response to the Word of God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Many children of God are praying all the time, but they don’t receive just because they are not obedient to the Word of God. The story of Saul in 1 Samuel 15:1-35 is one good lesson. Just because Saul was not obedient to the Word of God, His sacrifices were not acceptable to God. Samuel actually rebuked him saying, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” (1 Samuel 15:22). For you to receive great rewards from the LORD, therefore, you must always have faith in God. Faith in God causes you to be an overcomer. In Mark 11:22-23 Jesus Christ assures you that when you have faith in God, you will receive whatever you ask from God in prayer. The Apostles after they received the power of the Holy Spirit, they followed what the Lord Jesus Christ commanded them to do. They were obedient to His Word and acted the Word. Acts 4:19-20 says, “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Remember that the opposite of faith is doubt. Doubt is the result of not having the Word of God in your heart. So give yourself wholly to the life giving Word of God and you will overcome no matter what situation may come your way. Talk of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, David, Daniel, the Apostles and many other faithful servants of God who, despite all the trials and temptations that came their ways, they remained obedient to God and His Word, and God prospered them. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus, I thank You for making me realize how important it is to be obedient to Your Word. Thank You for the great reward that comes after being obedient. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name l pray, Amen.
