*THE COST OF DISOBEDIENCE*
1 Samuel 15: 1 - 29
2. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.......7. And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 8. And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.......19. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 20. And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. 22. And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king......... 27. And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 28. And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.

God wants us to do what he tells us and not for us to use our brains and change it.
1. Since obedience is a sign of faith in God, disobedience is seen as lack of faith in God and His wisdom to deliver, heal and bring one into the place desired.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6).
2. Disobedience brings rejection by God.
3. Disobedience leads to frustration.
King Saul’s disobedience cost him the throne. God rejected him and decided to give the throne to David. His refusal to kill Agag the Amalekite king and all the livestock they took as plunder on the pretext that they were to be used as offerings to the Lord, made God to reject him and remove the throne from his lineage. The Spirit of God left him and an evil spirit entered into him to torment him.
Take God’s instructions serious and always obey them fully without delay. Do not modify the instruction. Do not carry out partial obedience, but full obedience. Do not change or discontinue carrying out God’s instruction when He has not ordered for it. Always remember that God frowns at unbelief, disobedience and rebellion. He places them in the same class with witchcraft and divination. Trust God and obey Him always.
Receive grace to continually obey God and stay in obedience in Jesus name.
