Blessing comes through Obedience

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC Blessing comes through obedience

Imagine what it was like for Elijah at this point. James says, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours” (James 5:17).

This is true of all the great men and women of God in the Bible. We can wonder what Elijah was feeling – the drought was on and a time of extreme lack was upon the whole land. Obviously, Elijah was looking to the Lord. But surely he would have gone through the same kind of human emotions that we have to face today.
We must be careful not to rush ahead or to act hastily out of fear or anxiety. If we wait on the Lord during times of pressure he will show us what to do next.

Finally the word came to Elijah: Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there. (1 Kings 17:3-4).

Elijah obeys God immediately. He goes where God sends him and does what God tells him to do. Obedience to God is essential at all times – but in a time of lack it can be a matter of survival! Elijah did not strive – he just waited for God to speak and then acted on it. Hearing and obeying God are the twin keys to success. To walk in blessing, you must walk in obedience.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, God will connect you to the right place and the right person that will help your destiny to breakthrough.
