THE AROMA OF ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE.
The primary requirement in our dealings with God is absolute OBEDIENCE, the irresistible aroma that attracts the presence, favor and the goodness of God to us EVERY SINGLE TIME. Absolute obedience is the ultimate form of surrender, where our great commander the Lord Jesus Christ and LORD God Almighty who are perfect, Holy and all-knowing This supernatural standard is far higher than any human military structure. And the very next to that is FAITHFULNESS, the ability to be consistent, reliable, dependable and stable in our OBEDIENCE. Faithfulness then becomes the "long-game" version of that obedience. It’s the grit that keeps a person steady when the initial inspiration fades, turning a single act of submission into a reliable, lifelong character trait

That is why we must depend on the power and help of the Holy Spirit to lead us into absolute, continuous obedience to the Word of God. Without asking for this available supernatural help from God, most of the time our obedience will be inconsistent, off and on, praising God one day, while dwelling in complaining, stubbornness, immorality and arrogance the next! Faithfulness is the very character of God; we can't afford not to possess it! Absolute obedience and faithfulness to the core are infallible in securing our massive inheritance in Christ Jesus.

Jeremiah 7:22, 23.
When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not burnt offerings and sacrifices I wanted from them. This is what I told them: Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!

Consequently, a godly lifestyle is the most important and effective Christian witness. We don't profess Christ and then live, talk and act like the Antichrist.

1 Peter 4:7-11.
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your PRAYERS. Most important of all, continue to show DEEP LOVE for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully SHARE your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of SPIRITUAL GIFTS. USE THEM WELL TO SERVE one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will BRING GLORY TO GOD through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.

THE BLESSINGS OF ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14.
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
“The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Now, nothing can stop you attracting the presence, favor and goodness of God as we stand consistent in absolute obedience. Hallelujah!
