Itz Gr8ter!

Wassup fam! This morning I was up with my little one around 1am or so and there was a James Brown preacher on the radio you know, the talking loud and saying nothing type. So, while he was "preaching" my riverz began to flow about some real talk. The scripture from Samuel that says: "obedience is greater than sacrifice," was just ringing and I began to receive long awaited revelation.

I would think what on earth is meant by that scripture, so often times I went along as if I got it but on the real, I hadn't until now. Okay so the reason God breathed obedience to be greater than sacrifice, is because disobedience sacrifices ALL, let me expound. Disobedience to the will of God removes us from the presence of God because He only inhabits places exhibiting ORDER. Disobedience creates a communication breakdown between us and God which then sacrifices our ability to discern danger and removes the favor/glory cloud from hoovering over us. To be disobedient ultimately is to sacrifice your life, because disobedience brings about sin and sin is death.

Man, that whole revelation is something. It pays to be odedient to Christ's words regardless of the pain associated with them. It may feel, smell or even look wonderful, but if it's outside of the will of God not only is it temporary, its result is intended to take your life. Many get touchy about being FULLY obedient to God because it's not the most popular position to be in. Afterall, everybody else is getting it in right, so why can't we? I can't speak for anyone else, but i'd rather be considered "unpopular" and hear God clearly then to be "popular" and loose my life. It's a challenge but He gives us the strength to do it and promises NEVER to leave, forsake or burden us with more than we can bare.

It's a rather tough decision but my advice: choose life, and in choosing life, choose to follow Christ and keep His commandments to the best of your ability. If you are living in sin, ask for forgiveness and decide to trust God to help you to live right. A second from now is not promised, you don't want to leave this world uncertain where you'll spend eternity all because you chose to sacrifice over obedience! Be blessed...
