Friday 6th September Topic: OBEYING WITHOUT QEUSTIONING Memorise: But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it maybe well unto you. God is a good and wonderful God but He is not a democrat. Democracy has its benefits but in God’s Kingdom, it has several limitations, hence be God’s favourites, you must learn to obey Him unquestionably. In 1 Kings 17:1-16, after Elijah announced the seizure of rain, God told him to go to Brook Cherith and that birds will feed him there. He went without asking any question. If God tells you to go and preach at a particular location you hate to go, would you pretend as if it was the devil that spoke to you? Or would you ask: ‘Father, why me, why not somebody else?’ When the water at Brook Cherith dried up, and God said, ‘Go and meet the widow’, he did not question but simply obeyed. Some people have become so learned, enlightened and refined to the point that they query God. They summon God to explain why He wants them to do what He asked them to, or else they will not obey. If you taste what it means to be divine favourite for one month, you will do almost anything just to remain His favourite. Moreover, anyone who wants to be God’s favourites must be ready to spend quality time with Him. A couple who after marriage hardly spend time together, will after several years not be able to show the fruit of their union. The fruit of the Spirit is developed as you spend time in God’s presence, right in the midst of contrary circumstances. So also are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. If you want to heal the sick or raise the dead, first go and say in His presence. There is hardly anyone who really want to be His incubated by the Holy Spirit. Do you really want to His favourites? Even if you are not presently His favourites, you can work your into being one by the things you do from today. As you pay the price, the Lord will make you His favourites. Read: 1 Kings 17:1-5 Key point: Obeying without questioning is the height of trust, while questioning before obedience is the height of mistrust.
