READ: 1 Peter 1:1-5

  1. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
  2. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
  3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
  4. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
  5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 9:1-33, Psalms 85-87

MESSAGE:

It’s easy to be obedient when you are told to do what you wish to but difficult when you don’t like what you were asked to do. For example, if you like doing dishes and you were told to do the dishes after a meal, you would do so gladly but if you were asked to weed the garden when you don’t like to hold a cutlass or any gardening tool, you would likely decline to take up such a task.

As a child of God, you have to come to a point where obedience will be your nature. In fact the whole essence of Christianity is obedience to God’s word and those of the people He has placed in positions of authority to guide you. The elders have a saying that what an elderly person can see while sitting, a child can’t see it even if he/she climbs on a tree. This means that the wisdom of an elder is needed by young people. One way this wisdom will be passed across is through instructions. If you want to be wise, its best that you prayerfully look for wise elders who will guide you into all that God has purposed for your life.
If Jesus could obey God even to the point of death, you can, too.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please release upon me the spirit of total obedience to You.

HYMN: I Am Thine O Lord

  1. I am Thine, O Lord,
    I have heard Thy voice,
    And it told Thy love to me;
    But I long to rise
    in the arms of faith
    And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me nearer,
nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer,
nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

  1. Consecrate me now to
    Thy service, Lord,
    By the pow’r of grace divine;
    Let my soul look up
    with a steadfast hope,
    And my will be lost in Thine.
  2. Oh, the pure delight
    of a single hour
    That before Thy throne I spend,
    When I kneel in prayer,
    and with Thee, my God
    I commune as friend with friend!
  3. There are depths of love
    that I cannot know
    Till I cross the narrow sea;
    There are heights of joy
    that I may not reach
    Till I rest in peace with Thee.
