I Am Obligated To!

It is Father’s Day - We celebrate you Fathers!
Wednesday night Bible Study unlocked another level for us - You may not have seen it, but as your Pastor/Spiritual Father, I did and am obligated to continue on! What you may not realize is, questions leads you to understanding, which we are getting because we are seeking Him, not our own opinion.
After Bible Study, God spoke to me and said; “You all were expressing your opinions, but what Do I Say?” Nothing wrong with having an opinion, but we cannot allow our opinion to override God’s Word - “But What Does God Say?”
Romans 1:14 “14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.”
Obligate - To Bind - I have learned that we will sacrifice for everything else, but when it comes to doing The Will of God, we make excuses. We miss the Power Of God working in our lives because we are allowing ourselves to be swept away by what we see!
You have overcame by The Word of God and The Power of Your Testimony! Some say, I don’t have a testimony - well let me give you one!
Even though you are in it, and the thought rise up in you to quit, you are still here because you did not act upon it! You allowed The Holy Spirit to guide you into The Truth, reminding you that you are in covenant with God!
Covenant =  A binding Spiritual Contract between God and His people, where God makes promises and His people are expected to trust and submit to Him - Jesus tells us to not worry, because you cannot add anything to you through worry, but you can if you have Great Faith!
Matthew 6:33 “33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” The Word of Jesus The Christ, giving instructions to where our focus ought to be always; therefore, when you ask me why I continue on, even though it may not seem as if it is not working, or growing, it is because I have decided to follow Jesus - No Turning Back! I can’t go back to how I used to be, not after encountering The Presence Of God! I am now obligated to do what He Says!
Jesus is telling us about our heart, and what we treasure the most, that is where our heart will be! Again I say, the heart is the seat of intelligence, and will; your choices and actions are shaped by the things you cherish the most!
From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks - You don’t have to force anyone to show you their walk with God, just stand still and you will see!
Walking In The Spirit will keep you in The Covenant! Enlightening you to the realization that although I may be tired, weary, worn and sad - I have a Promise from Daddy, so I will be glad in it!
I am obligated because Our Father will never fail - Genesis 17:1–8 “1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. 8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.””
Abram = Exalted Father to Abraham = Father Of A Multitude! A Father is an instructor, teacher!
God has taught us all things pertaining to The Kingdom - When we obligate ourselves to His Will and His Way, Our Father Who art in Heaven, will add all those other things to us!
I know it may seem as if you are not winning - be reminded that you have The Chief Example of why you are Obligated to His Will! Because I have an intimate relationship with My Father - I am obligated to be as He Is, in the earth!
For He first love me - I must love as He Love!
For He has forgiven me - I must forgive as He forgive!
He looked pass my faults - I must look pass, as He looked pass!
He encourages me, daily loading me with benefits - I must encourage others - showing them the benefits of This Day!
Build up!
I’m Obligated To, because God has provided for me The Way! He has made a covenant with me, and His Word never fails!
1 Kings 3:13 “13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.”
He has given me things that I did not even ask for, nor even know to ask for!
Pastor Kevin Staley spoke The Word of God into me the other day, instructing me to “dig another well!” I take every Word spoken to me, to heart, so I researched it. Disclaimer: It is not the prophet fault The Word does not come to pass, especially when it comes with instructions.
Good wells are signs of God’s Providential Reign in your life!
Genesis 26:15 “15 Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.”
When you walk in The Spirit of The Father, obeying His Word that He sends to you, you will see you in Him! Even when in drought, remain obligated to do what He says! When Pastor Kevin sent the Word of God to me, I searched for instructions on how to dig a well and The Spirit of God directed me to here.
When you honor the covenant God has established with you and Him, you will ever-last those circumstances of life! Even when it seems impossible, dig! Genesis 16:14 “14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.” - Well Of The One Who Lives and Sees Me!
I Am Obligated To Dig Another Well - Because I Live and See Him! Isaac could have stopped digging because of the resistance - Many of you are stopping because of the resistance, remember, I Am Obligated To. . . Continue - Dig - Whatever the instructions are that God has given you - You are Obligated to that!
Isaac kept digging, even though the envy of others were stopping up the wells, but he moved from that place and kept digging - Genesis 26:22 “22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.””
If I can get your mind to understand that you don’t have to contend with the enemy that is trying to stop up what you have been digging, and get you to an understanding that you are obligated to because God’s Word never fails!
Pastor Kevin, I refused to allow The Word God sent through you to fall to the ground - I will dig!
