One other major force that keep men stagnant or prevent men from entering into God’s best for their lives is disobedience. Disobedience sometimes may not be as a result of unbelief of fear, but may be as a result of stubbornness or unwillingness to submit to God’s dealing. When disobedience is not as a result of ignorance, then it’s regarded as rebellion and hence the reason it carries more punishment (Luke 12:47).
Hebrews 3:16, 18 NKJV says
[16] For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? [18] AND TO WHOM DID HE SWEAR THAT THEY WOULD NOT ENTER HIS REST, BUT TO THOSE WHO DID NOT OBEY?
We see from this scripture that another reason the Israelites couldn’t enter the promised land is disobedience or rebellion. This is because FOR EVERY NEW LEVEL THAT YOU DESIRE OR THAT GOD WANTS TO BRING YOU INTO, THERE ARE REQUISITE DEALINGS OR TRAININGS THAT HE WILL SUBJECT YOU TO. SUCH TRAINING WILL REQUIRE YOUR OBEDIENCE AND WILLINGNESS TO SUBMIT TO GOD COMPLETELY. UNTIL YOU PASS THAT DEALINGS, GOD WON’T ADVANCE YOU.
Don’t be deceived, every man that will get into the fullness of what God has for him MUST first grow in obedience. UNTIL YOUR OBEDIENCE IS PROVEN, THERE ARE SOMETHINGS GOD CAN’T COMMIT INTO YOUR HAND AND SOME PLACES GOD CAN’T TAKE YOU. Therefore, while you’re praying to get to your promised land, pray more for a humble heart that obey God fully and without delay. May the Lord grant us more understanding.
