If You Obey My Word

Word from the Father

A father had two sons who loved him. One loved him but consistently disobeyed him secretly without his knowledge. The other one always held on to the word of his father. One day, the father bought two pieces of land and gave them to his sons to help him build two houses. He gave them a plan and everything needed to build a four-bedroom house with a garden. He had his motive for doing this, but his sons weren’t aware of it. The senior one went ahead and hired labourers to start the work on the land. They dug the ground and laid the foundation and the entire layout according to the plan given to him by his father. But he failed to supervise the work. The house hadn’t gone beyond the foundation a year later, and his money was fast spent. The second son hired some labourers and commenced the work on the land. They dug the ground and laid the foundation and the entire layout according to the plan given to him by his father. A year later, their father asked them to provide him with a report of their work. The first son came forward and told him the house wasn’t finished and his money was fast gone. His father told him not to worry. The second one came forward and told him the house was completed and everything was done according to the plan given to him. The Father then told them that the house belonged to each of them. They were amazed at their father’s decision. The second son was thrilled, and he thanked his father. The first son couldn’t say anything because he knew what he had done. I Am the Almighty God. I Am the Great I Am That I Am. I Am the Great Judge. My Reward I will give to those who obey Me diligently.

I Am a Father, and I have many sons and daughters. Whatever belongs to A, I will not give it to B, and whatever belongs to B, I will not give it to A. I reward everyone according to his work. If you obey Me, you obey yourself. If you also disobey Me, you also disobey yourself. Whatever you do to Me, you do it to yourself. There’s nothing any of you can give to Me. Everything I ask you to do is for your own good, not Mine. If I tell you to wash your hand before you eat your food, Am I the One going to eat the food? If you eat your food with a dirty hand and your stomach begins to pain you, what’s My problem with it? But if your stomach starts to pain you, you’ll cry out to Me. This is then My problem! As all of you are crying everyday, disturbing My throne and My peace, I’m troubled. All of you are like a child that says the mother will not sleep; both he and the mother won’t sleep. I Am a Compassionate Father, and I feel your pain whenever you cry. This is why I always stress on obedience.

If you sit down where I asked you to sit down, if you do what I asked you to do, if you remain in your territory without crossing your boundary, no harm will befall you. Even Satan knows this and cannot do anything to you because he knows you’re on the right side. But he wants you to leave your territory so his hand can touch you. This is why he always lures all of you with his goodies. And if you take anything from him, he’ll give you another one because he knows what he’s doing. He wants your hands to be full so he can strike you. Hence your hands are full; it will be tough to drop everything at once. This is his strategy, but none of you knows this. Until you learn to live in obedience, until you learn to live within your territory, he will keep afflicting you. Both of you live on this Earth together, and everyone must hold his own ground.

My Emphasis

Everything the Father gives to His children has one clause attached to it – “if”. Both good and evil carry this clause. If you read through the Book of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, you’ll see everything clearly. As a father, if you laboured very well and built an estate, you know how you worked to get everything you put in that house. As your children come to live inside, they have no clue how much money, hard work and time you invested in building that estate. They only come and enjoy what they didn’t labour for. These are the children of the Father.

The Bible says in the Book of Deuteronomy 28:1-2 and 15 that, “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.”

If you diligently obey…

There is no half-obedience! It’s either we obey or disobey. And until we fully obey the Word of the Father, we cannot receive anything from Him. Whenever we pray to the Father, before He answers, somebody who lives with us here will first lure us to receive a counterfeit from him. Therefore, if you look at the aftermath of each blessing and the calamity that follows it, it’s glaring that the Father isn’t the giver of such a blessing. Whatever the Father gave us, Satan always wants to corrupt it so we cannot enjoy it. But no sorrow will contaminate our blessings if we know the God we serve and are fully equipped with His Word. This is why the Father always takes His time before He gives us anything. He’ll ensure He cuts off every hand of evil before giving us so we can enjoy it and have peace.

Beloved, there is a reward for obedience and also a reward for disobedience. Whichever one we choose to do, the reward awaits us, not only in Heaven but first on this Earth. If we sow the seed of righteousness, we’ll reap the fruits of righteousness. If we sow the seed of unrighteousness, we’ll also reap the fruits of unrighteousness. Whatever we choose to do, the reward is awaiting us. One thing I’m confident about is that the Father who knows and sees all things will by no means rob Peter for Paul or vice versa. He will surely reward the individual for whatever he does. Jesus Christ declared in the Book of Revelation 22:12 that, “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.” I pray for you today that Holy Spirit will plant that precious seed of obedience in your heart in Jesus' name. Amen! May the Lord give you the grace to walk with Him in Jesus' name.

If a man breathes his last breath, his Spirit departs and continues his life elsewhere. Whatever life he lives here will determine his destination and how his next life will be.
