important.
• Obedience is evidence of our love for God

John 14:24 He who does not love Me does not keep
My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine
but the Father's who sent Me."

demonstration of our faith)

Your children will be blessed
God will protect you
He will grant you abundant prosperity

obey?

day

conclusion
Obedience is an act of Surrender; it is when we as Christians say “Not
my will Lord but Your will and align our actions with that will. “
Obedience demonstrates our faith and trust in God; Obedience is the
key to our success; Obedience is the sure and promised way to unlock
blessings in our lives.
For us to be able to fully obey, we must read His word every day and
ask God to empower us with His holy spirit so that our life is going to
honor Him.
Are there things in your life that God is asking you to do that are tough?
Or that do not make sense?
