THEME: It Pays To Obey ANCHOR TEXT: “His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you” John 2:5. Obedience is a form of act in which a person yields to explicit instructions or orders from an authority figure. It is a form of strict adherence to instructions. So, as God’s children, we are expected to do God’s will as stated in His principles. You are here to serve God’s purpose, to carry out His instructions to detail and never to bef men’s pleasers. When you live to please God, He will manifest His awesomeness through you. Sometimes ago during the United States civil war, Abraham Lincoln met with a group of ministers of the gospel for prayer.

Apart from edifying yourself when you pray in the Spirit, you also speak mysteries to God concerning issues your human intellect would never fathom or comprehend. It will profit you greatly if you follow Apostle Paul’s footsteps and pray in tongues for appreciable lengths of time every day. There may not be hard and fast rules as to how long you should pray, but the Lord Jesus seem...
