*RESTORATION TODAY - TACN PUBLICATIONS*
*WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2020.*
*TOPIC: TOTAL OBEDIENCE*
_“And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Acts 9:6._
*MESSAGE*
Opposing God is a waste of time. Even then, to be on the Lord’s side without obedience is also a waste of time. Saul was ignorantly tormenting the church until he encountered Christ. His first experience was the test of obedience. The blind Saul was to go into the city for the next instruction. He did just that. That’s what relationship with Christ is all about- obedience. Total obedience is the secret of divine relationship. It starts the very day we accept Christ and it’s a lifelong exercise. Once we are prepared to obey God, our Christian journey becomes easier.
Ignorance, fear and pride are the usual threats to obeying God. We must know our God and be convinced that His instructions are not hard but for our good. We must also overcome fear- fear of people, the unknown or Satan, God has everything under control.
Likewise, we must be humble. Some divine instructions can appear humiliating or insulting to our status; we still must obey. Obedience opens the next door and moves us to the next stage. May the Lord help us obey all His injunctions, in Jesus’ mighty name.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ Decide to obey the Lord in totality and pray for divine strength.
*SCRIPTURES*
Acts 9:4-6; Genesis 22:1-19.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. God give me the grace to receive clear injunctions from You and to obey them all in Jesus’ name.
2. God, let the Holy Spirit empower me to do Your will in the name of Jesus.
3. God, give me the grace not to work contrary to Your will for me in Jesus ‘ name.
