Obeying God‘s Instructions

by Pastor Andre Butler

And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, “Get thee hence and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.” And it shall be [when you’ve done what I’ve told you to do], that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there-

1 Kings 17:1-4

God’s ability to get wealth to you is dependent upon your obedience to Him, even on the receiving end. God prepared a miracle for Elijah, but God gave him very specific instructions: get out of here, go east…

God does not keep a record of your sins

Hebrews 8:8-12

“….Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant…….not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt……..for this is the covenant that I will make….I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; I will be their God, they shall be My people…. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more”

Memorize this, beloved, for this is the main and final clause of the new covenant!
