“Command To Obey”

Key Verse

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.” Ephesians 6:1

Text — Ephesians 6:1-3

Message

The right thing for any child to do is obedience. An obedient child gets the favour of everyone. The parents, teachers, pastors, friends and neighbours will want to associate with that child because of obedience. A song writer wrote thus “Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe, doing exactly what the Lord commands, doing it happily, walking in the light, keeping our attitude right, on the narrow way. Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe. O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E yes sir! Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe”.

Obedience is of the heart and if you make up your mind as a child to be obedient, you will reap lots of reward here on earth and in heaven. Disobedience brings curse, rejection and separation from God. If you are still a disobedient child, you need to repent so that you will not miss God’s blessings for your life. A wholehearted and complete obedience is the expectation of God.

Make a firm decision today to be an obedient child, repent from any form of disobedience and God will begin to bless you.
