_I must choose to obey God in faith.

Jesus said, "When you obey me, you remain in my love, just as I obey my father and remain in His love". God treasures simple acts of obedience more than our prayers, praise and offerings.

The Bible tells us, "What pleases the Lord more; burnt offerings and sacrifices or obedience to His voice? It is better to obey than sacrifice".

The voice of God from heaven during Jesus' baptism said, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased". But Jesus had just begun his public ministry (@ age 30), so what had Jesus been doing for thirty years that gave God so much pleasure?

The Bible says it all in a single phrase, Luke 2:51(Msg): "He went back to Nazareth with them, and lived obediently with them". Thirty years of pleasing God were summed up in two words: " lived obediently"!

- choose to obey God: God loves you, Bra Kofi loves you. Amen!
