Obey at all cost
When you find yourself in the place to obey, you must show maximum obedience. It is never an obligation one does when he or she feel like. It is never optional to obey the authority. On the course to show maximum obedience, it is never about you but about the consequences when one fails to observe it. Obeying might not please one to observe it, but he or she has no reason why not to obey especially when it is genuine.
The place of obedience, calls for a cost. Obedience must cost one if it will lift the person. Yes, it is what someone will make up his or her mind for. If it is one, he or she will obey. If it does not please one, he or she will still obey. That is absolute obedience. It is never obedience by option that counts. It is absolute obedience that counts. No one can boast that he or she is person of obedience, when he or she is not a person of absolute obedience.
In every enterprise, the boss always flow with the one who shows maximum obedience.
Absolute obedience is the key to navigate through life. People who show maximum obedience have a way of living a stress free life. In every enterprise, the boss always flow with the one who shows maximum obedience. No one wants to work with someone after an order is passed, he or she will go ahead to do what he or she thought is right on his or her own accord. No one can continue in the path of disobeying authority who will not find him or herself in the red book of his or her master.
Contrarily, there are the ones whose names are in the life book of their master. When people are demoted in the place of work, it is those ones who drag their feet to obey. When people lose their job, it is those ones who are doing what they want not what the authority has said. When people are transferred from one well to do branch to another branch found in a remote area where the works there are hectic, this is those who failed to learn obedience the easy way, they have to learn it the hard way.
When one fails in the act to obey instructions, it can mess up every thing about his or her reputation
Yes of course, if you don’t want to learn the art to obey the easy way, you can’t escape learning it the hard way. Some persons never lived to tell the story after their act of disobeying authority caused them everything they have worked for. In learning it the hard might cost some persons to drill themselves in a manner they never wished even for someone they dislike. You can be a person who does not obey, yet you will be clamouring for promotion when time calls for it.
Though you may be a hard working someone, yet you need to know and learn the act of obedience. When one fails in the act to obeying instructions, it can mess up every thing about his or her reputation. It does not matter the skills and knowledge one has acquired, if he or she does not understand the act of obedience he or she might receive a sack letter. Never you allow the profession you have acquired, enter your head that it flushed away the act of obeying from your head.
10 – “On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 – To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12 – But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13 – Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
14 – And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15 – What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 – And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 – For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 – Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
19 – If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.” (Esther chapter 1 verses 10 to 19)
You should understand that to obey is never about you but about those looking up to you
To disobey authority does not profit anything, but it can destroy everything that one has spent all the years long to acquire. The trust that took decades to built, can be destroyed by a single act of disobedience. May you not be a victim of disobedience when you are expected to align. That may be the ultimate test in your life for the dream lifting you have hoping and trusting God for.
It is quite alright that obeying at times does not please. You should understand that to obey is never about you but about those looking up to you. There are people who are following your foot steps. Once they see you do it, they will accept it that it is right for them to act in the same manner and way. That single act of disobedience can cause more havoc than good. Think about it.
Conclusion:
It is better never to operate in disobedience than giving a room to it. Never you assume that to walk in obedience is costly, disobedience is a disaster. There is no person whose conscience is in tight, for some selfish reason tread through the path of disobeying, who never regrets telling the ugly story that accompany disobedient ones.
