Obedience - Doing the will of the Father


Share a testimony ...

In 2005, God prompted me to go to a Chinese Prayer House. This prayer house comprised some elderly women praying in Mandarin, a language I do not speak, and also observing a culture that is quite different to mine as I grew up being educated in English.

Desiring only to please God, I faithfully obeyed Him not understanding the reason He had called me there. Every time they started the prayer meeting, I started my snoring in a quiet corner of the prayer house.

The senior pastor would wake me up from my nap after they had finished praying, asking me to pray for the intercessors and impart fire. God was using the Chinese prayer house as a platform to train and prepare my readiness to work with Him and thus birth our ministries.

My faithfulness in obeying God to be at the Chinese Prayer House was my act of honour and praise to Him, it was not merely lip service (Isaiah 29:13). (The Lord did not tell me not to sleep.)*

Just do what the Lord tells you to do - not more, not less.

In his book ‘Secrets to Spiritual Power,’ Watchman Nee wrote:- "There are two kinds of sin before God: the sin of rebellion - not doing what one has been told: and the sin of presumption - doing what one has not been told to do (Ps. 19:13). Rebellion is failing to do what God has charged one to do. Presumption is doing what God has not commanded at all."

Exodus 4:21
The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.”

Exodus 7:10
“So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake.”

This was Moses’ example of obedience. He did not bring his musical team and instruments to worship the Lord in front of Pharaoh to usher down the manifest presence of God. God’s glory was with him, in him and all over him.
