THE PLACE OF OBEDIENCE – Day 7

Text: PROVERBS 28:1-28

Memory Verse: He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination (Proverbs 28:9)

Message: I wrote my first book about twenty four years ago and I titled it “Obedience: The highway to God’s Best” The book is still a bestseller and one of the richest book I have ever known on the subject of obedience. I call it a bestseller because of the great demands for the book till date. The place of obedience in the lives of God’s children cannot be overemphasized. Obedience determines the beauty or the colour of our destiny. Nothing destroys people like disobedience in God’s kingdom. The word of God has no value until it is obeyed. It is our obedience that reveals how much we value God’s word. I always tell people that it is not about what we know that matters. It is what we do with what we know that actually matters. We only prosper when we obey God’s word and fulfill His requirement for prosperity. From our text today we were made to see the place of obedience and prayers. As powerful and potent as prayer is it can become a mere waste of time if we do not pay attention to the word of God. Anyone who truly desire answers to his/her prayers must learn to obey God’s word. The Bible reveals to us that our prayers can even become an abomination to God when we walk in disobedience.

Wisdom Nugget: Every disobedience in our lives is cooperation with the enemy to frustrate our prayers.

Prayer Point: Father i receive the grace to walk in total obedience in Jesus name.
