Are you a man of faith and power?
Then let me ask you a deeper question: Are you walking in obedience to God?
Because in the Bible, faith isn’t just about believing for miracles or declaring bold confessions. Faith is obedience. And obedience is faith.
Too many people shout about faith, but ignore the simple instructions from the Holy Spirit. Real faith doesn’t always look like fireworks — sometimes it looks like saying “Yes, Lord” and stepping forward, even when it doesn’t make sense.

Faith in Action: When You Obey, You Believe
In God’s Word, faith and obedience are deeply intertwined — they are two sides of the same coin. You can’t have one without the other.
Let’s break it down:
1️⃣ Obedience is Believing
“Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land… then ye rebelled… and ye believed him not.”
— Deuteronomy 9:23
The Israelites didn’t enter the Promised Land, not just because they were disobedient — but because they didn’t believe God. Disobedience was their unbelief in motion.
2️⃣ Disobedience is Unbelief
“…unto them which stumble at the word, being disobedient…”
— 1 Peter 2:8
When people disobey God, it’s not just rebellion — it’s a lack of trust. They don’t believe He knows best. That’s why true faith can always be measured by how quickly and completely you obey.

3️⃣ Abraham: The Blueprint of Faith
“By faith Abraham… obeyed.”
— Hebrews 11:8
What did Abraham do when God called him to a strange land? He obeyed. No full explanation. No map. Just faith. And faith, in that moment, looked like obedience. That’s why Abraham became the father of many nations — because he acted on what God said.
4️⃣ Trust = Obey
“She obeyed not the voice… she trusted not in the Lord…”
— Zephaniah 3:2
Let that sink in: not trusting God is the same as not obeying Him. If you’re struggling to follow God’s voice, it’s a trust issue — not a strength issue.
The Secret to Fulfilling Your Ministry: Obedience
You cannot fulfill your calling by convenience. Ministry is not built on talent alone — it’s built on trust.
And trusting God means doing what He says, even when it costs.
To walk with a God you can’t see, you must have a kind of faith that moves your feet. That’s why every act of obedience — even the small ones — is a mighty declaration of faith.
So when you:
- Forgive someone who hurt you
- Sow a painful seed
- Preach when you’re discouraged
- Stay when you’d rather walk away
…you are walking by faith.
Keep Walking in Obedience — Your Reward Is Coming
Through obedience, your life begins to resemble that of Abraham.
By faith, you’ll cross every river, every blockade, every delay.
And how do you build this kind of obedience?
By hearing the Word. Again and again.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” — Romans 10:17
Every sermon you listen to — not just on faith, but on love, holiness, service — increases your faith. And as your faith increases, your obedience grows stronger.
Final Word: Your Obedience Is About to Open Doors
I see you rising.
I see you stepping into the next phase of your calling.
I see you jumping into your new and blessed life of obedience.
So keep walking.
Keep trusting.
Keep obeying.
Because faith is obedience, and obedience is faith.
