Obey God at all costs!

“And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." 2 Corinthians 10:6 KJV

Obeying God at all costs is one of the wisest things to do in life and destiny; it is your defence against the enemy and the secret to all divine interventions. Mary’s counsel at the wedding in Cana, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it” (John 2:5), remains a timeless key to miracles. Naaman’s healing from leprosy came only after he obeyed the prophet’s seemingly simple instruction to wash seven times in the Jordan (2 Kings 5:13–14). Peter’s remarkable catch of fish happened when he obeyed Jesus’ command to launch into the deep and let down the nets, even after a night of failure (Luke 5:4–6). These examples show that obedience is the gateway to divine intervention, even when instructions appear unusual or inconvenient. On the other hand, deliberate disobedience carries heavy consequences. When Achan disobeyed God’s command, the entire nation of Israel suffered defeat (Joshua 7). King Saul lost his throne because he valued sacrifice over full obedience (1 Samuel 15:22–23).

Job declared, “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures” (Job 36:11). Similarly, Noah’s complete obedience in building the ark, despite public ridicule, preserved his household from destruction (Genesis 6:22; Hebrews 11:7). Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac, trusting God’s promise, secured him an everlasting covenant (Genesis 22:16–18). The cost of disobedience is high, wounding destiny, inviting unnecessary attacks, and missing divine opportunities. Therefore, let us choose obedience, for in it lies safety, blessing, and the fulfilment of God’s perfect will.

Prophetic word: I prophesy over your life today that in this season, you will trust the Lord beyond your understanding and follow His instructions without delay. I decree that as you obey, your nets will break with blessings, your Jordan will part, and your Jericho walls will fall. I prophesy that every hidden snare of the enemy will be exposed and destroyed, and your obedience will place you under the unshakable covering of the Almighty. I declare that you will fear no cost, for the Lord will be your exceeding great reward, and from this day forward, you shall be honoured by Him who honours His word. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for the grace to hear and obey Your voice. I repent for every act of disobedience that has wounded my destiny or delayed my breakthrough. Lord, give me the courage to follow You no matter the cost. Just as You blessed Abraham for his obedience and delivered Noah for his faithfulness, let my obedience draw me into divine favour, protection, and abundance. I decree that in this season, my ears will be sensitive to Your instructions, my steps ordered by the Spirit, and my life a testimony of total surrender to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
