Obedience Brings the Presence of God
Ps. David Lai

Text : Jonah 1 & 3

2 Peter 3:7 ~ Heaven and earth are preserved by the Word of God. We can trust that preserved Word of God. The Word of God (WOG) is the real world to us.
Obey the Word, then the presence of God is there.

Jonah 1:1-3 ~ Jonah received the WOG but not the presence of God because he went on another direction. Man of God can come and go but the WOG remains.

Mark 4:15 ~ Satan will try to snatch the WOG when it is sown. Obey God’s word and enter the supernatural and experience the presence of God in your lives.
- Peter walked on water by obedience to Jesus’ words.
- It’s the WOG that God wants to manifest, that will enable us to move on to the next step in our walk with God. Joseph experienced that all through his life.
- Obedience to God’s word will always bring the blessings.

Jonah 1:10-17 ~ Jonah fled from the presence of God. The sailors prayed and threw Jonah into the sea and he went into the belly of the fish.

Jonah 3 ~ Jonah finally obeyed the Lord’s word and went to Nineveh. God already knew that the people of Nineveh will repent.

No matter what happens even in the hour of our testing, we must persevere and keep the WOG and trust Him. We need to give our hearts to God.

Lucifer, one of the arch-angels was once with God; and Judas was in Jesus’ presence but they both failed because they never fully surrendered their hearts to God.

~ It’s always about what God wants to do in us and through us by the Word of God.

1 Kings 17 – Elijah in obedience to the WOG, received his provision.

When we obey the WOG, the provision is already there.
Receive your provision by what you say!
