Gen 7:5,12 "And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded  him. And the rain was  upon the earth forty days and forty nights."

From scriptures, we see the Lord always emphasizing the importance of obeying His commands. In fact,
75% of the Bible is centered on instructions to obey. The Bible says: "to obey is better than sacrifice" (1Sam 15:22). Moses used the adjective diligently hearken in Deut 28, which means painstaking effort in obedience to divine instructions. Read it below:

Deut 28:1 "And it shall come to  pass, if thou shalt  HEARKEN DILIGENTLY unto  the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his  commandments which I  command thee this day..."

I want you to know that more often than not, it is going to take everything that we have within us to obey the voice of the Lord. Be aware that God will not always ask us to do the “easy thing” for His kingdom. No! Sometimes, we may find it difficult to obey, yet, deep inside, we will know exactly what we need to do. We must not reason things out with our minds, but we must listen and obey Him by the Spirit.

What will happen when we obey?

Deut. 28:12 says: “The Lord WILL OPEN TO YOU HIS GOOD TREASURE, THE HEAVENS, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand.”

God always rewards obedience to instructions. Noah obeyed the voice of God to build an ark and the flood that destroyed others spared his life and family. If your heavens will open and remains open, obedience to divine instructions is a must. What are the past instructions you are yet to obey? Start obeying them and you will enjoy the blessings of open heaven.

PRAYER: Receive an instructed and obedient heart from today, in Jesus name.
