Teaching:Intentional Movement — Trusting God With Outcomes After Obedience Speaker: Bishop Allen Brown Scripture Reading: Elder Brown — Deuteronomy 28 Praise/Worship:“Praise Is What I Do”
Kingdom Prosperity Fellowship reminds us that prosperity is bigger than finances. God desires that we prosper spiritually and in our health, families, relationships, purpose, businesses, endeavors, and every assignment He has placed on our lives.
Tonight’s key word was OBEY.
Deuteronomy 28 begins with a powerful prerequisite: diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God. Before the blessings are described, obedience comes first.
INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT
Intentional movement means deliberately moving in the direction God has instructed you to go while trusting Him even when you do not know exactly how the process will unfold or what the final outcome will be.
Faith does not mean sitting still saying, “God will do it.”
We have a part, and God has a part.
Our part is to obey. Our part is not to manipulate the outcome.
10 KEY TEACHING POINTS
1. Intentional movement requires action. Obedience has to be done on purpose. We cannot only hear the Word; we must become doers of the Word. If God gives an instruction, intentional movement means acting on it.
2. Know your assignment and surrender your will. Jesus said in John 6:38, “I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” Jesus knew His assignment. We must seek God concerning ours.
Ask God: Where do You want me? What do You want me doing? How do You want me using my gifts, voice, resources, and time?
3. Obedience can be costly. Jesus demonstrated obedience even when it involved suffering, humiliation, sacrifice, and ultimately the cross.
In Luke 22:42, Jesus said:
“Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
Difficulty does not automatically mean you missed God. Sometimes obedience requires sacrifice, discomfort, time, money, pride, convenience, or giving up something you would rather keep.
4. Do not make obedience conditional on the outcome. Conditional obedience says:
“I’ll do it if it works quickly.” “I’ll apologize if they change.” “I’ll serve if they appreciate me.” “I’ll start the business if I know it will succeed.” “I’ll obey if I know what I’m going to get out of it.”
True obedience says:
“God, regardless of the outcome, I trust You.”
5. Jesus did not control people’s responses. Jesus taught truth. Some believed Him and some did not.
Jesus performed miracles. Some worshipped Him while others opposed Him.
Some followed Him and others walked away.
But Jesus did not change His assignment every time somebody changed their response.
Neither should we.
We cannot control how people respond to our obedience.
6. Obey even when you do not have full certainty. Abraham obeyed God and moved even though he did not know every detail of where he was going.
That is faith-led movement.
Sometimes God gives you enough instruction to take the next step, not the entire map.
The question becomes:
Can I move because God said move, even when I cannot see where everything is leading?
7. You can plant and water, but God gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:6–7 teaches:
Paul planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
We can plant. We can water. We can work. We can prepare. We can serve. We can build. We can remain consistent.
But we cannot manufacture the increase.
The harvest belongs to God.
8. Obedience mixed with control produces anxiety. When we try to control the outcome, we begin worrying about:
When will it happen? Who is going to help me? Why haven't they responded? Where is the money coming from? Why did their blessing happen faster than mine?
But we cannot control God's timing, other people's decisions, opportunities, resources, or responses.
Peace comes when we stop asking:
“How is this going to turn out?”
and start asking:
“Am I obeying God?”
9. Do not quit because the process becomes difficult or takes longer than expected. Some people abandon relationships, marriages, businesses, assignments, ideas, and opportunities because the process becomes uncomfortable.
But sometimes the process itself is developing us.
God may be developing patience, discipline, wisdom, character, strength, capacity, discernment, or stewardship.
Do not automatically assume difficult means wrong.
Do not compare your timeline to somebody else's.
Their two months may be your three years.
10. Trust God with the outcome after you obey. Our responsibility is faithful obedience.
We cannot control the outcome, but we can control whether we:
Jesus did not make obedience dependent upon immediate results.
Jesus surrendered His will.
And although His obedience led Him through suffering, the outcome of His obedience brought salvation to others.
Sometimes the fruit of your obedience will reach people you may never even see.
ABRAHAM — FAITH BEFORE CERTAINTY
Abraham moved because God said go.
He did not receive every answer before moving.
His obedience eventually affected generations.
Some things God instructs us to do today may bless our children, grandchildren, families, communities, ministries, businesses, or generations we will never personally meet.
Everything God tells us to do is not necessarily about what we receive immediately.
DEVELOPING YOUR “OBEDIENCE MUSCLE”
Bishop Brown shared that obedience can operate like a muscle.
Sometimes God may tell you to do something and nothing obvious happens.
Then He may tell you to do something again.
The first instruction may have been developing your ability to hear and obey.
Small acts of obedience prepare us for larger acts of obedience.
When the bigger instruction comes, God already knows whether we have developed the discipline to listen.
WARNING SIGNS YOU MAY BE TRYING TO CONTROL THE OUTCOME
You may be slipping from obedience into control when:
• You are constantly anxious about when God is going to move. • You try to manipulate the process. • You try to manipulate people's responses. • You become discouraged because results are not immediate. • You compare your results and timeline with everybody else's. • You change directions every time circumstances become difficult. • You measure your worth by people's reactions. • You assume difficulty automatically means you missed God. • You obey only when you can predict the benefit. • You refuse an instruction because it does not make sense to you.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
Your worth is not determined by people's response to what God told you to do.
If God called you, somebody else's reaction cannot cancel your assignment.
If God gave the instruction, your job is obedience.
PERSONAL EVALUATION
Ask yourself:
What has God already told me to do that I have not fully obeyed?
Am I waiting for certainty before I move?
Am I making obedience conditional upon getting the outcome I want?
Am I trying to control another person's response?
Have I confused difficulty with God saying no?
Am I comparing my timing with somebody else's?
Am I measuring my worth by recognition?
What might I need to surrender?
Am I faithfully planting and watering while allowing God to provide the increase?
Can I truly say:
“Not my will, but Yours be done”?
CLOSING SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 1:19
“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.”
There is a promise, but there is also a prerequisite:
Willingness and obedience.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
Sometimes what God tells us to do will not make sense.
Abraham's obedience affected generations.
Christ's obedience changed eternity.
Our job is not to control every detail between the instruction and the promise.
Our job is to move intentionally, obey diligently, remain faithful through the process, and trust God with the outcome.
Plant. Water. Obey. Trust. God gives the increase.
PRAYER FOCUS
Father, show me where I need to walk in complete obedience. Help me surrender my will to Yours. Give me courage to move even when I cannot see the entire outcome. Help me stop trying to control people, timing, circumstances, and results. Strengthen me through difficult processes and teach me to remain faithful. Let me plant and water what You have assigned to me while trusting You to give the increase. Not my will, but Yours be done. In Jesus' name, Amen.
