#EaglesDevotional - OBEDIENCE; THE SEED OF GREATNESS 3

  "He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, [a] with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." (Matthew 17:5)

Obedience is the key to greatness, David’s acceptance by King Saul and amongst his people is as a result of obedience to instruction. Once there is obedience, the hand of God will elevate you and cause the seed of greatness to manifest in you.  

You can see from the Holy Bible if you read carefully, that when Jesus was still on earth, God called him “My beloved” twice. This statement is to show you how important the word “beloved” is in the kingdom of God, it is of significant importance as a child of God to know that for you to transcend to being called “the beloved” of God you must practice the principle of obedience.

Obedience is the seed you plant to reap greatness, for you to manifest the seed of greatness, you must align yourself with the word of God in total obedience to Him. The decision to subject oneself to God in order to please him puts a person on the straight path of greatness. Jesus was endowed with the glory of God; he was given a name above every other name and made to be the ruler of the world because He was obedient to God.

It doesn’t matter the challenge you are facing or how difficult your situation is, the only license to completeness, rest, peace and victory is for you to align yourself with the word of God. Obedience is the key that opens the door to any obstacle; a man who is well favoured of the Lord is a man that is in obedience to God. The life of Jesus is an example of the challenges we face as rational beings in our pursuit to be obedient to God. The Bible said Christ was wounded for our sake, bruised for our iniquity killed for our salvation, Christ did all these in total obedience to God and at the end of the day His act of obedient made Him to be seated at the right hand with God in glory from everlasting to everlasting. This should be our desire; obedience should be a way of life.

PRAYER/CONFESSION: Father in the name of Jesus, Give me the strength and the strong will to be obedient to you. Let every power challenging my glory be destroyed, I speak authoritatively against every forces from the pit of hell fighting against my destiny, be destroyed in the name of Jesus.
