YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OBEDIENCE, NOT YOUR INSTRUCTION

YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OBEDIENCE, NOT YOUR INSTRUCTION
Dearly Beloved,
There is something powerful you must understand about walking with God—His instructions don’t run out, but they can stop. The miraculous is a divine partnership between what you can control and what only God can control.
Look at the story in 2 Kings 4:3,6:
👉 “Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.” (v.3)
👉 “And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.” (v.6)
The moment the woman ran out of vessels, the oil stopped flowing. Not because God wanted it to stop, but because she had no more capacity to receive.
🔥 Here’s the key principle:
You are in control of your obedience, but you are not in control of your instruction.
God gives the instruction, but your obedience determines the outcome. Divine results stop where human obedience ends! It is not the supernatural that limits success but the natural response to divine instructions.
WHEN DOES GOD STOP?
The things of God don’t finish, but they can stop! The question is: how does it stop?
✅ You can stop – When you stop obeying, the flow stops.
❌ God can stop – If He stops, you may not be able to restart it!
God once told me to warn a brother that He had blessed him twice, but he hadn’t used it for the purpose God intended. God said He would bless him one last time, and if he failed again, He would not look in his direction anymore. The brother didn’t listen. God blessed him the third time, and that was the last time!
👉 Do not let divine activities stop in your life.
GOD WON’T BLESS WHAT HE DIDN’T INSTRUCT
One more thing—you must get your own instruction from the Lord. God doesn’t bless copycats! He blesses obedience to His specific instruction for you.
Till next time, go and win with Jesus!
