This question keeps troubling many young ministers, worshippers and musicians:
Should I obey God and disobey my pastor?
Recently, a minstrel told me God instructed him to start a worship ministry. When he informed his pastor, the response was simple: WAIT.
Instead of waiting, he wanted to move immediately “to obey God.”
This is where many sincere people get it wrong sincerely.
Many people have obeyed God’s instruction and still failed – not because God was wrong, but because they moved without the release of spiritual authority.
God works with order and systems, He will not build destiny through rebellion.
Jesus could have been born without Joseph, but God still went to convince Joseph before the prophecy was fulfilled.
Why?
Because God does not fulfill destiny through disorder.
If God truly sent you, He is also powerful enough to touch the hearts of the leaders over your life.
The assignment is from God and so is timing too. Most times, God uses spiritual authority to manage both.
Moving fast without covering may look spiritual – but it is dangerous.
So i said to him, if your assignment is time- bound do this:
1️⃣ Pray and ask God to speak to your leader’s heart.
2️⃣ Don’t pressure your authority – wisdom attracts favor.
3️⃣ Communicate calmly and ask them to pray about it.
4️⃣ Don’t ignore instructions and move anyway – God may not follow rebellion.
5️⃣ Do your part to explain your vision clearly.
6️⃣ If God truly sent you, approval will come.
7️⃣ Stay faithful in what you were already doing until the green light comes.
Sometimes Waiting Is The Real Obedience
God is not only interested in what you will do,
He is interested in who you are becoming
