Giving out a loud sigh, I stomped my feet angrily. It was gradually getting to 7:12 a.m., and I was yet to find a bus going to Victoria Island. Work resumes at 8:00 a.m., and coupled with the traffic in Eko on a Monday morning, I might end up getting to the office by a quarter to 10.
I kept pacing back and forth in the park, angry at myself.
Earlier that morning, I woke up with an impression in my spirit that I should take a BRT bus. Considering the time I usually leave home, the bus stops are almost always empty. However, gradually, slowly but steadily, they begin to fill up before 6:00 a.m. on Mondays.
But see me concluding that it didn't really matter. Today was just like every other day; I would go to the park as usual, and surely, I would get a bus.
On my way to the park, I heard that inner prompting again, but I ignored it.
Doesn't this sound like you?
There are times when the Lord gives us instructions that could save us from harm, delay, and danger, yet we disregard His voice as though it were nothing significant.
Today, we proudly call ourselves descendants of Father Abraham, yet we sometimes struggle to obey even the simplest instructions given to us by the Holy Spirit.
Abraham was a man who trusted and followed God, even when he did not know what the outcome would be. He believed God Plan for him was good, practicing what I call GREAT FAITH.
When he desired a child and was already advanced in age, he continued to trust God and did not waver in unbelief. Eventually, Isaac was born.
His test of his obedience did not just end there. God instructed him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, he obeyed- GREAT FAITH, trusting that God was able to fulfil His promises even in the face of what seemed impossible.
In Man's walk and work with God. Obedience is key. Learning to respond to God's instructions as He gives them, not when they are convenient or when we finally understand why He is asking us to do something but trust and obey that it his plans are good.
God's blessings are connected to obedience. Obedience produces fruit. The quality of our obedience is reflected in the fruitfulness of our walk with God.
So today I want us to ponder on this question: How many times have you heard the voice of God but chose to do things your own way?
it is time to align and realign ubtil we ae convince we are in total submission to God obeying his instructions.
Stay revived!
