ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams”. I Samuel 15:22
My Dear friends,
I greet you in the most precious name our saviour Jesus Christ!
In our Christian walk, obedience is very important. God wants every one of us to be obedient. He demands not simple obedience but absolute Obedience.
What is absolute obedience? Absolute obedience is to be ready to carry out every instruction given by God. God requires prompt, complete obedience; nothing less is acceptable.Obedience to God’s commands is the true sign of our love for God. It is reading, hearing, preaching and doing the word of God. It is also living a holy life.Jesus says, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”[John 14:15] …show more content…
Saul might have thought that going through the motions of religious observance would somehow make up for the fact that he had not completely obeyed the Lord.
Like Saul, Probably, there are some of you who may think ......‘It’s enough if I attend church on Sundays, give tithe, help the poor and so on.....My friend, God wants absolute Obedience. If you fail to keep the least of one of Christ's commands to his disciples, you are disobedient. God is very clear about disobedience. Disobedience is a sin.

To obey God’s word is better than sacrifice. My Dear brother/sister do you adhere to the word of God? Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.’” [Matthew 7:21]
Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian. Only those who are in a genuine relationship with Christ are the true Christians. Those who know Christ will want to obey him and follow His will. we may feel that some of the things He asks us to do are too hard, but we must remember that He promises to give us grace to do whatever He asks of us; we need only to be willing.
When faced with a point of obedience, it is dangerous for us to say, “ I think this” or “ I want that”. Rather we need to ask God, “ What do you want me to do?” and be obedient to what He says.If Jesus is not Lord of all, then He is not our Lord at all.He may be our saviour but not Lord and master.Let God take His rightful place in your life, which is “first place” in
