GOD LOVES OBEDIENCE!
Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved
Following the rules and regulations of everyday life itself is so difficult for us today that obeying the commandments of God is even more difficult for us. However, if we put our hearts and minds to it and are determined to follow God no matter what, then His rules become our rules, His way, our way, His will our will. That is what pleases the Lord and He pours out His blessings on us even before we ask for it.
Obedience to Him makes us His friend. Isnt it such a great privilege to have the Creator as our friend! In a daily lives too, we open up and share all our secrets with our close friends. Thus as friends we know each other very well. The Lord too teaches us everything when He becomes our friends and shares His heavenly plans with us. We become a part of His boardroom just as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 16:9.
Once, a minister went for the Annual Day of a school. Some of the elders asked him how he accepted the invitation from such a small school. He promptly replied that he received several invitations by post but the staff of this school came to invite him in person. Similarly, Jesus too visits us in person as to honor us when we become his true friends. The age, color, race or sect you belong to does not matter to Him. The faithfulness that you bear in your heart is all He looks at.
Dearly beloved, I was born under a coconut tree, like an orphan, in a small village. It was an old lady who helped my mother in her delivery. The Lord chose a person like me who was very fearful and timid and could not even speak properly to minister to Him. How more valuable are you then to Him? He has chosen us to bear fruits for Him. However, the key is obedience and when you do that you will be become fruit-bearers for Him.
Prayer
Dear Loving Father,
Thank You for teaching me the way I should lead my life so that I can receive Your visitation every day. Lord, I have lived a wayward life thus so far but now I choose to obey You in everything You want me to do. Thank You for loving me and valuing me so much Lord. I give myself to You completely. Change me and use me for Your glory; that I may bear fruit for You and take the gospel to the nations. Thank You for answering my prayers Master!
In the name of Jesus
Amen!
