KnowingJESUS Daily Devotional | October 18, 2019 – Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Though Jesus Christ is the Son of God, yet He learnt Obedience

Hebrews 5:9 – Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he becoame the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Beloved, always remember that God your loving Father in heaven is love and He loves you in particular very dearly. But then He desires His love for you to be appreciated and reciprocated by your prompt and wholehearted obedience to Him in all things and at all times. Regrettably and very very unfortunately, multitude inside and outside the church, in the time past and even in our contemporary times, reciprocated His agape love with shameful disobedience. See it.

Jer 7:23 – But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

However, since the outset of the world till the end of time God require prompt and wholehearted obedience from His creatures and you in particular . He doesn’t accept sacrifice, He requires obedience. Disobedience to God begets avoidable and painful consequence. This shall not be your portion from Him in Jesus name.

1Sa 15:22 – And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

See examples of shameful and regrettable consequences of disobedience that, you must determinedly avoid. Jesus will help help you as He also learnt obedience in Jesus name.

Adam and Eve.

Gen 3:17 — And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Gen 3:22 — And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Lot’s wife.

Genesis 19:17. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Genesis 19:26. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

In the same token, obedience to God gives birth to enviable earthly and eternal blessings. This shall be your portion in Jesus name. See an instance.

Abraham received sworn blessings through wholehearted timely obedience .

This shall be your portion as you do likewise in Jesus name.

Gen 22:15 — And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, He said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Isaiah 51:2. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

Beloved, always remember Jesus was obedient to His Father from the beginning of His earthly ministry . to the end. God expects a lifetime obedience from you too, who in turn will provide you with earthly and eternal blessings, which are your natural heritage as one of His saints. So follow the good example of Jesus. It shall be well with you in in Jesus name.

Dearly beloved, during the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ our Lord, He learnt how to live in obedience that has been unmatched by anyone before or after Him. In deed, He remains the enviable epitome of biblical obedience to entire human beings. See His inexhaustible records of prompt and wholehearted obedience to God.

Phi 2:5 — Phi 2:8. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

John 6:38. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 8:29. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him

John 4:34. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Jn 5:30. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Mat 26:39. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from : never the less not as I will, but as thou wilt.

In the same way He was totally obedient to His Father, He demanded same complete obedience from all His followers and that includes you.

Luke 6:46. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Dearly beloved wholly obedience to Jesus bring all His followers enduring and unending earthly and eternal blessings. But disobedience begets earthly. and eternal doom and damnation. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.

See avoidable consequences of disobedience to Jesus.

Mat 7:21 — Mat 7:27. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: The rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: The rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

See how the blessed Holy Spirit affirmed that you in particular must be wholeheartedly obedient to Christ as He Himself was totally obedient to His Father.

Receive grace to be obedient to Christ and be blessed here and hereafter in Jesus name.

Friend, you are worthy to be celebrated. This is because you are one of the few heaven minded believers daily preparing for the dawning rapture. But please validate your earnest desire by rendering always till Christ comes acceptable and prompt obedience to Jesus your Lord as He Himself did to the Father.

This becomes necessary because it is the major requisite for you to partake in this imminent event. Both our Lord Jesus Christ and the blessed Holy Spirit affirmed the certainty of the dawning rapture. See them.

Jesus

Jn 14:1 — Jn 14:3. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

The blessed Holy Spirit.

1Co 15:51 — 1Co 15:52. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

However, in the same way the first world was destroyed with flood after Noah preached for one hundred and twenty years without them believing and turning to God. This happened because rain had not fallen prior to that time. So they didn’t believe God would destroyed the world with flood until, He did.

Hebrews 11:7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Friend, just like the people in the first world perished, so multitude inside and outside the church globally shall be damned and unprepared for the dawning rapture, because it has not happened before. You shall not perish in Jesus name.

Even though, three people had experienced this future event in the person of Enoch, Elijah and our Lord Jesus Christ. Enoch and Elijah represented the living believers while our Lord represents the dead in Christ, that shall be raised.

1Th 4:15 — 1Th 4:17. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Friend, only obedient believers like you that are keeping God’s entire words in the Bible shall escape the great tribulations that shall follow immediately after the dawning rapture. One of such word is the imminent rapture. So keep at it.

Sooner than the world expect, it shall happen and elude them, because of their unbelief . But you shall be prepared in the name of Jesus, because you believe.

Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
