OBEDIENCE;THE MASTER KEY TO GOODNESS

It is apparent that, disobedience hardens the lockers or paddlocks to GOODNESS, and disobedience is the master key to perilous things.But contrarily, I discovered from the relationship between Isaiah1:19 and proverbs16:7, that obedience can only be the master key to GOODNESS. It is obvious, and self explanatary, that [proverbs 16:17] when a man's ways please [delights] GOD, He makes even the enemies of that man be at peace with him, without the consent of the enemies. Everyone knows that, when a man is in the midst of enemies, the man is automatically prone to danger, or is automatically living an endangered life full of risk. So, when your enemies which endangers you, are now compelled by GOD to be at peace with you. Oh, you are definitely assured of absolute SAFETY.Therefore, the relationship between proverbs16:7 and Isaiah1:19 that affirmed obedience as the key to GOODNESS comes in here. Which means; the only way we can please GOD, is by showing total obedience and not partial obedience to the commandment of GOD. So when a man's ways please GOD implies that, the man's way must suit or concur with the will and commandment of GOD [proverbs 16:7]. And Isaiah 1:19 says"if ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the GOOD of the land:" [Which clearly means, your ticket to eat the GOOD of the land is obedience]. Everybody knows that, the most important GOOD of the land is SAFETY, because it is when you are safe you can now think of prosperity, success, blessings, wealth, and anyother GOOD of the land you would to possess or acquire.



So, connecting Isaiah 1:19 and proverbs 16:7 I paraphrase thus, ' when a man is totally obedient [submissive] to GOD, he enjoys the topend [most needed] GOOD of the land which is SAFETY.Furthermore, to obey simply means; to take actions or do things in accordance to a specific command. The moment anyone or follower deviates from the commandment or layed down principle of the commander, he/she either becomes a disobedient follower or partially obedient follower.Similarly, anyone who deviates from the laws and commandments of GOD almighty, he/she is automatically a disobedient child or partially obedient child. So as chidren of GOD, we ought to abide by the commandments of GOD strictly, fully and with alarcrity. So as to gain the reward of obedience here on earth and in Heaven. Anything pleasant, or desired and enjoyed is contiguous to or is defined GOOD. So, as children of GOD what would we do that will be seen or accounted for obedience by GOD, which automatically opens the door of copious GOOD thing?

Firstly, [mark 12:30-31] we can exhibit obedience buy actuating or putting to action the royal law. The royal law states: love your neighbour as yourslef. I got a simple and feasible meaning of this law sometimes ago, which was paraphrased thus,"do to others [your neighbour] the things you would like others do to you." so, to love your nieghbour implies that, the things you won't tolerate when reciprocated back to you by your neighbours, do not do so to them, and even others. This is one of the ways you can show obedience, which automaically exposes you to copious GOODNESS.



Secondly, [James4:17] when you are competent enough to do something you know from the word of GOD is GOOD or in a position of doing good to someone and you willing and cheerfully did, you have apparently shown obedience. But when you are more than capable to do GOOD and you refuse to do GOOD, you don't need any prophet to tell you that you have shown a high sense of diobedience. Which will utimately expose you to the dangers of the land.
Thirdly, [proverbs 11:24] we can show obedience by cultivating the habit of giving cheerfully. The reason I qualified the giving with the word 'cheerfully' is, we have many people who give and yet are not blessed, why? It is simply because they did not give cheerfully. In the bible Jesus christ spoke these amazing words to those listening to him at that instance he said "(3) of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: (4) For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of GOD: but she of her penury hath cast in all the livng that she had "[Luke21:3-4]. The whole of what JESUS CHRIST was explaining about that woman is, she gave cheerfully. If we give and our giving is not a cheerful one, It is contigous to getting those substances burnt. So, when we give, let's give cheerfully and lovingly, and not with hypocrisy.If all these laws can be put to action consciously, we have automatically acquired the key to GOODNESS.
Conclusively, not ignoring the contrary, if all those laws and commandments as in the bible are not interesting to you, or you fail to put them into action, you are automatically strenghtening the lockers or paddlocks to your GOODNESS. And the most disastrous effect of disobedience is in Isaiah1:20 "But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured by the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it". Which means if you are not obeying GOD's commandments, you are living an imperilous life, and if care is not taken you might die untimely.
I end with these, the rate at which you are willing and obedient to GOD's commands, is proportional to the rate at which you experience GOODNESS, provided your obedience is not a partial kind of obedience. Contrarily, the rate at which you are not willing and obedient to GOD's commands. Is proportional to the rate at which you are endangered, provided you are disobedient. GOD bless us all with GRACE to be willing and obedient to his commandments in JESUS's name, Amen!
