Transcript
- 0:00Obedience is better than sacrifice.
- 0:03You know, you might have heard this statement or maybe you're
- 0:05hearing it for the first time, but the truth of the matter is
- 0:08that if God tells you to take, you know, 10 steps every morning
- 0:15when you wake up, take 10 steps. Then you now realize that people
- 0:20in your community or your friends are taking 50 steps.
- 0:25If God says the 10 steps is what will make you lose weight and
- 0:29then you now said OK no, but based on what you know you need
- 0:34to take more steps for you to lose weight.
- 0:36Do you realize that you may end up missing out on the promises
- 0:39of God for your life? Why?
- 0:40Because you didn't obey accordingly.
- 0:42So if you take 15 steps or 50 steps you have already
- 0:46disobeyed. You are sacrificing, meaning you
- 0:49are doing a walk in terms of going extra mile, but at the end
- 0:54of the day, is it according to the prescription that God has
- 0:57given to you? You know, most times many people
- 1:00derail from the plan of God for their life because of their
- 1:04inability to realize or to understand what God is doing at
- 1:09the moment or even at that time. Truly obedience is far better
- 1:13than sacrifice because most times we think, OK, it's when we
- 1:17sacrifice before we get to see a certain level of result.
- 1:21But at the end of the day, when you allow God to lead you,
- 1:25you'll see that if God tells you to take 10 steps and you lose
- 1:28weight, it is that 10 steps that actually will bring that weight
- 1:31loss in your life. So as we journey through 2026,
- 1:37there are some specific instructions that the Lord is
- 1:39going to give to you. And you must be willing to
- 1:43comply to those instructions in order for you to see the
- 1:47manifestation of everything that the Lord has for you, because
- 1:51everybody's life is different. And to the way God wants to
- 1:56build you, God begins to give you those instructions.
- 2:01God begins to model your life around that direction because it
- 2:05is through those instructions that you begin to see the result
- 2:09of everything that the Lord has for you.
- 2:11So as God is building you, you must be deliberate in
- 2:16recognizing the specific instructions that He has given
- 2:19to you. And you know, there was a man,
- 2:22God sent him to, to go and conquer a particular Kingdom.
- 2:28And part of the instruction that was given to him was that he
- 2:31should destroy everything. No body should be left, nothing
- 2:35should be left. But the man went, he spared the
- 2:38life of the king of that place. And also he took all the good,
- 2:44good animals, you know, the one without defect and everything.
- 2:48And then the intention was that he was going to sacrifice those
- 2:51animals to God. But do you know that simple act
- 2:53of disobedience caused him to actually lose everything that
- 2:58God wanted to establish through his life.
- 3:01So was that man. And that was where this word
- 3:03came. Obedience is better than
- 3:05sacrifice. So he was sacrificing to the
- 3:07Lord, but the Lord rejected that offering.
- 3:10Why? Because God will always prefer
- 3:12obedience over sacrifice at any moment.
- 3:16So the question is that what are the things that God has given to
- 3:18you that you are trying to do it the other way around?
- 3:24You must recognize that obedience will always in the
- 3:27sight of God be more better than sacrificed.
- 3:30You know, sometimes your prayer can be encapsulated into the
- 3:35word obedience. Because if you can obey, then
- 3:38you'll be able to even see more result.
- 3:41So most times why we do not see result, it's because not men of
- 3:44force are are obedient, not men of force are responding by
- 3:49obedience. And that is why God is bringing
- 3:52this world to you. You have to obey to see the
- 3:56fullness of what God has for you.
- 3:59You've got to do three things only this month, only three
- 4:03things. You've got to do only 5 things
- 4:05this year. Do only 5 things.
- 4:06If you say do 20 things, don't look at and say, oh, but people
- 4:09are doing more than that. Oh my friends are doing more
- 4:12than this. If you go by the way of the
- 4:15world you always miss what God has in stuff for your life.
- 4:19I hope this what ministers to you this morning and if it does
- 4:23please share with someone. And this is a daily
- 4:26transformation. See you next time.
