DAY 191:

“You can appear to be Successful and not be Obedient, but you can’t be genuinely Obedient and not be Successful!!

‘But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you,’ (Jeremiah 7:23).

Many are deceived by “success.” There is such a drive and a push for people to do things that make them appear successful before men, even if that means they are not obedient to God. It doesn’t just deceive the people around the seemingly successful person, it deceives the person who believes they are successful, without complete obedience.

In this age, if people don’t see immediate success, it is common for them to quit abruptly or change their course. These traits are not that of a genuinely obedient person. Obedient people stay where God plants them.. they become rooted and grounded in love.. and they bear much fruit for the kingdom and for the harvest!

‘Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing,’ (Psalm 92:13-14).

My prayer for you today is that you do not choose to bypass the process of obedience to have an appearance of success, but that you endure and obey the process for your purpose in love, and receive the promises of God both here and for all of eternity..!!”
