Luke 5:1-7 & John 14:15
Jesus said 'if you love Me, you will obey Me'.
Your obedience to God's Word in your life is the most important step in fulfilling your destiny and finding His blessing.
Obedience is not always an easy task. The choice of obedience can make you nervous, uncomfortable and even unpopular with others. However your decision to obey the Holy Spirit's leading in your life on a daily basis is your platform to true success.
After spending all day trying to catch fish in the river, Peter and his men were about to give up. That very moment, Jesus turned up on the scene and asked him to cast his net one more time on the other side. Peter was understandably hesitant. He was an experienced fisherman who had been trying all day.
However, he chose to obey the word of the Lord.
Noah chose to obey God despite never seeing rain. Abraham chose to obey God and took Isaac to the point of sacrifice until God stepped in. The rich young man, whom Jesus told so sell all his things and join them, couldn't obey. What an opportunity did he not give up! If only he knew.
God requires radical obedience from you. He asks you to heed His words and obey them. Follow His precepts. Apply His principles and allow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Your obedience is the greatest expression of your love for God.
