This week's teaching devotional:
29th April 2024The Kingdom of God represents His government. On this earth your kingdom will need to go for His to come. We need to be in the Kingdom before we discuss how to be effective in the government of God. To be in the kingdom is to be born again and submitted to His Lordship. The word "Lord" means to be the owner, master. Are you ready to give Him your surrender? Matt. 16:24-26. The first stage is you being willing and obedient to God. Being willing and obedient has to do with a decision, a choice you make. A product of your will. Would you be willing to obey when you don"t see the benefits? Think about it. It is possible to obey without being willing and it is also possible to be willing and not obey accurately. We need to be willing and obedient. Now if you have a wrong motive for obeying, you may be derailed after a while. God wants to bless us but if the benefits alone are the reason for obedience then when we are required to do things that are for others to benefit, we may not be willing to obey. The focus of obedience should be Christ not ourselves. Our motive should be love. Remember that God will bless and reward your labour and faith. So be willing and then obey God.
Memory Verse: "If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land" Isaiah 1:19
Wisdom Key: The focus of obedience should be Christ not ourselves.
Life Application: Why is it vital for us to be willing and obedient to God?
