TOPIC: DISOBEDIENCE
TEXT : Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Memory Verse : Hebrews 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward
FOCUS
Today we are looking at disobedience as another vision killer. It’s not enough to have vision or know what you are called to do, but you must come to a point whereby you are ready to obey all the instructions of your vision from letter to letter. Sometimes in life, people get distracted, sometimes you see people who started well but will not end up well because of disobedience. For example God ask a particular person to start up in Uyo, but the person feels there’s nothing there and decides to go to Porthacourt. That alone can thwart the vision, cut short the mind of God for the visioner.
The vision is for an appointed time but once disobedience enters, the person has forfeited the appointed time. I don’t know how God has arranged your vision line by line , precept by precept. One act of disobedience can terminate the entire vision and his vision , No matter how great and how precious the promises of God for the person is. Once you can come to the understanding and say, am going to obey God in full, then we see that God will also be there for you.
Don’t forget that one line of disobedience can cause an entire vision havoc, that is why by one man disobedience, the whole world became sinners and one man also obeyed even to the point of death, that we became righteous through him. Don’t forget that vision instructions is what guarantee your safe destination, not just understanding the vision itself but that you are going to do step by step obedience is the key.
LESSON
2 Corinthians 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
We are looking at vision killers, what are the things that can kill the vision of a man no matter how great the visions is is? We are looking at Disobedience because disobedience is refusing to follow instructions as received. Through disobedience, the whole world became what is it today, Obedience is the cure to vision pains and struggles in life and in ministry.
When it comes to vision, God expects us to obey to the end . Partial obedience is not obedience. In as much you disobey God on a little matter then you have disobeyed on all . That is why obedience must be complete before you can avenge all disobedience against your vision . There are forces of hell and human factors that will rise against your vision , people will doubt you , But God is saying that until your obedience is complete, he can’t fight for you .
If we are there and we disobey God then we are not ready for God to avenge us. God cannot help a man that is always on disobedience mission because you can’t avenge any disobedience at that point. I want us to pray this morning, for grace to obey God. Untill our obedience is complete, God is not ready to avenge us. Obedience is the key, without it our Christianity is in vain. May God help us .Amen.
