YOUR OBEDIENCE IS A KINGDOM MOVE

A dear teacher shared how he got a gift of several suits. He tried them on, and they were quite fitting. He was glad. At last, his wardrobe would change. At last, he would have a highly respected look.

As he drove home from Lagos back to his city, which was hundreds of kilometres. As he passed by a church in one of the towns on his way, a man stepped out of the church building. He heard the Lord say to him, “Those suits are for him”. He was shocked. He drove all the way home.

He was not at peace. His wife noticed. When she heard about what happened, she told him they would have to go back immediately to that town and obey the Lord. They both went back to the town.

When they got to the church, they met the man and told him their mission. Apparently, he was a pastor. He began to try on the suits. They were all his perfect fit. The man cried hard. He told them that he was already questioning whether the Lord sent him. He was feeling forgotten. His hope was restored. His joy was full. They returned to their city joyfully also.

Beloved, do you know your obedience to instructions could be the much-needed encouragement of the person you are sent to? Can heaven rely on you when a soldier is needed? Can heaven trust you to be a banker for the kingdom? Would your selfishness hinder a kingdom move?

Apostle Paul shared about how the obedience of the Philippians brought great joy to him:

“My heart overflows with joy when I think of how you demonstrated love to me by your financial support of my ministry. For even though you have so little, you still continue to help me at every opportunity.”

Philippians 4:10 TPT

Deal with hesitation. Put the Lord first! God will surely reward you, too. What are you still holding on to? Go and obey! Bless that brother. Bless that sister. Bless that minister. Bless that family. Go and obey.
