God Expects Obedience

What does God’s Spirit offer us men in the daily walk of our lives? Wisdom. How does one obey what God calls us to do, in our daily lives, at the office, while at clients, or with friends and family? To do His will. But you may be asking yourself how do you do this? Firstly, by obeying God we enjoy a new life He has promised all those who are called His sons [and daughters]. By receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour you have taken the first step of obedience, to receive the free gift of salvation He offers us all on earth. Then you start the new journey which leads to allowing His Spirit to lead you in your daily walk.

Now God’s Spirit is filled with great wisdom, God’s holy wisdom. Something we do not obtain in our worldly life. In 1 Corinthians 2:6 we read how we “speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers this age…” It is the wisdom as given to us by God’s Spirit who is with us and resides in us. The wisdom of this age is “coming to nothing.” So what do we do now? Men! Hear God’s calling for your life. He seeks obedience and a man that will live a life that pleases God. Let’s do what Jesus taught us to do: to pray, fast, serve, repent and worship Him in everything we do and are; He seeks us for Himself.

Allow God to fill you with His power and Spirit today. Let Him add some excitement into your life starting now. Allow God to reveal everything to us through His Spirit, who “searches all things, even the deep things of God.” [1 Corinthians 2:10] Just start by doing something small which is within what God expects from you, obedience in what you do, but also glorifies Him and is a form of worship to Him. Those who are disobedient toward God’s calling land up as being foolish; for they don’t understand what needs to be done. Without the Spirit of God in you, or without Jesus Christ in your life for that matter, you will not understand the things God’s Spirit wants to lead you to. Allow God’s Spirit to lead you starting today. Read 1 Corinthians 14 – 16 which relates to this foolishness. God expects obedience… start obeying His calling today. Start small, in small things and see what happens ahead in your daily walk. Enjoy!
