Obedience is Better than Sacrafice

Before we can begin to talk about what it means to be disciplined according to the word of God, we must first understand what it means to be disobedient. When you are disobedient 1.) refusing to heard the word of God, 2.) hearing the word of God incorrectly, and 3.) rejecting the will of God. When we are disobedient it is because we are not putting our flesh under subjection. When we do this, then we are meant to suffer and we will have some type of loss in our lives.

If you have a improper attitude you will always cause harm to your relationship with the trinity of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In James 2:17-22, " Thus also faith by itself is dead, if it does not have works, is dead." The works simply means your obedience to God. Therefore, if you do not have obedience then you can you can not have any faith.

In 1Samuel15:22-23, "Behold to obey is better than sacrafice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of withchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king." When we sacrafice to the devil it will bring death and when we sacrafice to the Lord it will bring abundant life. We must remain obedient even when we are faced with temptation by the world.Delight yourself unto the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. God knows what you need, but he can only give them to you if you always put him first and continue to give him the honor and the glory.

When we are obedient unto God, blessings and favor will be ours for the taking. God wants the absolute best for us and did not create us to fail. The answer to all of our problems, circumstances, situations, tribulations, trials, or any other question rests in the word of God. Matthew 6:24, No one can serve two masters:for either he will hate one and love the other or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You can not serve God and mammon.Therefore, I say to you do not worry about what you will eat or what you will drink.

Just always seek God first in all that you do, say, or think. Remain obedient to God at all times even when you don't understand and you will continue to be blessed and receive favor.
