Daily Sermon 4/12/2011: Obedience

Hello my brothers & sisters today we are going to talk about how we have to be obedient to the Lord and what happens when we are not obedient to God. Lets take a moment to look at Genesis 3:6-9:
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"Obedience is very important to God because if we don't have that then we can't expect God to move for us. See the way that it works is that God tells us to do something and we do it even if it may not make sense to us we do it anyway to be obedient to God. Take a look at Genesis 3:6-9. The bible says that God told Adam & Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good & evil. But because it was pleasing to the eye Eve ate from it and gave Adam a piece from the tree of knowledge. Now this is a good example of why it is important to be obedient to the Lord because when we are not obedient to the Lord it means that we are doing what we want to do which is not of God so don't be fooled. We have the nerve to keep asking him for things but we cannot be obedient to him. Guess what my brothers & sisters he doesn't hear you. You know another thing is that he will let what ever is going to happen to us happen which can only be bad if we are not doing what the Lord tells us. My brothers & sisters we have to learn how to be obedient to the Lord because what he tells us to do is what is best for us because he loves us and wants the best for us. But when we don't listen to him we don't hear the solution to our problems because he directs us on how to solve every problem big or small that we may  come across. It is very important that we take him seriously. If you say you love the Lord then you must be obedient to him. I'll say this in closing will you follow the Lord and let the Lord lead you or will you let Satan lead you right into the pits of hell think about that.
