THE OBEDIENCE ADVANTAGE
By: Pastor Matt Morgan
But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.”
1 Samuel 15:22 NIV
“One act of obedience is better than 100 sermons.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
The promises of God are obtained through faithful obedience. Obedience invites success. Disobedience promotes failure. Disobedience is an act of rebellion.
Obedience is the necessary ingredient for course correction; not only do we confess our failures we forsake our sins. Life is lived at the speed of obedience. Obedience is not only how we get by, but how we get ahead! Obedience places God’s desires ahead of our own, therefore obedience is the key to the door called “favor.” If you go all out for God, God will go all out for you! Walk in obedience!
