Teach Them to Obey

Teach Them to Obey

“Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29 NKJV

We can see the Father’s heart expressed so well in this verse from Deuteronomy 5. I want you to know something I have learned about obedience. It is about relationship and not rules. When I obey, I am showing my love for Him, and that love becomes a model for others. 

Your obedience can be a teaching tool. People are watching how you live. Your kids, your friends, your church family, they learn what faith looks like by seeing you walk it out. When you obey God, you are writing a manual for the next generation. That is how legacy is built, one yes at a time. 

And here’s the truth: obedience creates an atmosphere where blessing can flow. When you choose God’s way, you are not just shaping your own life, you are shaping the spiritual climate of your home. Your yes to God today can open doors for your children tomorrow. That is how generational favor begins, through simple, consistent obedience.
