Psalms 119:1 (NET)
How blessed are those whose actions are blameless, who obey the law of the Lord.

After Maurine finished her training and started her own business, she observed that things were unusually tight for her. She wasn’t getting customers, and the few she got owed her.

Because she was a spiritual person, she knew something was spiritually out of order. She started seeking to know what to do to break the limitation and walk in her blessings as God’s child.

After listening to an audio sermon on her phone, She realized that she had been wrong in not honoring her parents all the while, and that could be the reason things were not going well with her business. She decided at that moment that she would commit herself to honor her parents every month with a token.

. Six months later, Maurine’s financial doors opened. She had many apprentices, and so many customers that she almost couldn’t cope. All this promotion happened within six months after she decided to obey the law of the Lord that says children should honor their parents (see Ephesians 6:1-2).

We have seen earlier that the law of the Lord for the believer is not the 613 laws of the Torah, nor is it even the ten commandments. The believer is not under the old testament law, but this does not make us without law (see 1 Cor 9:21), we are under the law of Christ.

Of the Ten Commandments, the Lord (through His sermons and through the teachings of His apostles) reiterated nine. He also gave us many commandments that cannot be found in the laws of old. For example, the Lord commands us not to live in anxiety (see Matt 6:25, Phil 4:6, 1 Pet 5:7), turn the other cheek (Matt 5:38), love our enemies(Matt 544), etc.

Go into today remembering that believers who would walk in the physical manifestation of their spiritual blessings are those who are careful to live in obedience to the commands of the Lord.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you live in obedience to his commandments.
