William Edwin Boardman was a 19th century American pastor, teacher, and author. William Boardman ignited a revival known as the Higher Life movement, which brought many people to a deeper understanding of the committed Christian life.
Interestingly, William Boardman almost missed his calling due to initial disobedience to divine instructions.
Before going into ministry, he was in a business partnership where he had plans of financial success. When he felt God calling him to leave his business and become a full time preacher, it was a difficult decision for him to make. So he told God that he would obey if someone would buy him out. Within a week his partner came to tell him of someone who wanted to buy out his half of the business. William then sold it and went into the seminary to begin preparations for ministry.
However, he never fully let go of his business ambitions and before long, he abandoned his seminary studies and went back into business.
His venture into business was met by one financial tragedy after another. A building he owned burned down, without insurance. A bank failed with most of his funds. As he faced bankruptcy, his wife fell ill and almost died. With all these happenings, William became convicted about his disobedience to God.
Finally he repented and turned his life over to God and recommitted his finances into His hands. As he did so, his life began to regain stability.
After seeking God for months he received the revelation about living a higher life of consecration to God. This he encapsulated in his book titled “A Higher Christian Life.” This book became a major success and sparked a revival that influenced great Christian leaders and impacted many lives globally for Christ.

Sometimes divine instructions may not agree with our own thinking or ideas, but obedience is the master key to our breakthroughs.
In our journey of life, the path of obedience to God is always the safest path to follow. We must not promote pursuit of personal ambition above doing the will of God because it would eventually lead to failures, defeats and tragedies.
It doesn’t matter how hard a man works, if he is working outside of God’s will, all his efforts will end in futility. Because except the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain that build it and except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.[Psalm 127:1]

It is when we walk in obedience to God’s divine instructions, that we will see great manifestations of His power in our lives and endeavors.
Truly, God’s commandments are not grievous, but rather designed for our profiting.
The truth is that whatever plans we may have for ourselves can never compare to God’s greater plans for us.
Perhaps today, God has been nudging your spirit to go in a particular direction, prompt obedience to His instruction will cause you to experience success. God’s thoughts and ways are always higher than ours and as we follow His Word and guidance, we will certainly end up with fruitfulness, abundant blessings and divine multiplications.

PRAYER
Father, thank You for granting me the grace for prompt obedience to Your guidance. As I pay the price of seeking You through study of the Word, prayer and praise, I thank You for inexplicable miracles and breakthroughs in this season in Jesus’ Name.
