Text: Deuteronomy 11:13

Pastor Fumi emphasized that obedience toGod’s word is the key to enjoying His blessings—the “rain” symbolizes divine provision,favor, and fruitfulness. God’s instructions are not burdens but pathways toexperiencing His goodness.
To walk in obedience, believers must:
1. Love the Lord your God – Our love for God is the foundation of obedience. Welove Him because He first loved us (Matthew 22:37; 1 John 4:19; Ephesians3:17).
2. Serve the Lord wholeheartedly – Service to God should come from the heart,with zeal and excellence (Romans 12:11; Matthew 4:10; John 16:24; 1 Corinthians4:7).
Pastor Fumi urged believers to wake up and fire up their service to God, doingall things as unto Him, not unto men (Colossians 3:23). Excellence means goingthe extra mile in obedience and dedication.
She further highlighted examples from scripture:
- Noah obeyed God completely (Genesis 6:22).
- Elijah followed divine instructions and saw God’s power manifest (1 Kings17:1).
In conclusion, the key to enjoying the rain—the blessings of God—is found inobedience to His instructions.
