The sin of disobedience

Good day people of God, let's look at a very important yet ignored truth in the body of Christ today "the sin of disobedience" yes I called it a sin! Because it carries costly consequences

See these scriptures

Deuteronomy 11:27-28 KJV
A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:

[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

In verse 28 it was stated that disobedience invites a curse, and the only condition for blessing here is to obey.  This is a key to triumphant living just obey and the blessings come,  and obeying God does not only bring blessings there are other things on the package..  See

Exodus 23:22 KJV
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Wow..  An enemy to your enemies and adversary to your adversaries all on the platform of obedience.
for every virtue in the kingdom be associated with you you most obey and when you don't obey a curse is invited
Read this

Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 KJV

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

[2] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

[15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

From verse 15 the story changed when we refuse to obey curses will come, but glory to God If we obey his blessings will come on us.

There is no serving God without obeying him and his word on every level

Job 36:11-12 KJV
If they obey and serve him , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

[12] But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

Almost every where the Bible where obey is mentioned blessings follow but the consequences of not obeying follows, this shows that God does not give us instructions for his own benefit, NO! It is always for our blessing.

This is a serious matter many have lost their place in life due to disobedience.
And many can't help it they want to obey but still find themselves deep in disobedience well there is a good explanation to that let's look at this scripture

Romans 7:18 KJV
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Now there is something called the spirit that works disobedience or the spirit of disobedience according to

Ephesians 2:2 KJV
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

And the best way to get rid of a spirit is not just to cast is out but a new spirit has to take its place otherwise the foul spirit comes back see

Matthew 12:43-45 KJV
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

[44] Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

[45] Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

So the best way to deal with the spirit of disobedience is with the spirit of obedience in

1 Peter 1:2 KJV
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Remember we need this spirit of obedience it's the only way out because in Bible it says..

Philippians 2:13 KJV
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

It is God, only God can work obedience in us.
And if we sincerely ask for this good spirit of obedience with a longing for it in our spirits it will be given to us.

My prayer today is that we be filled with the spirit of obedience to carry out all instructions in Scriptures and from heaven in Jesus Name. Amen

God bless you
