Synopsis: According to Scripture, God demands that His Revelation be taken as a rule for man's whole life. Thus, obedience to God is a concept broad enough to include the whole of Biblical religion and morality. The Bible is insistent that isolated external acts of homage to God cannot make up for a lack of consistent obedience in heart and conduct.
To obey God means to align your life with the following rules, but through a loving, trusting relationship, actively following Jesus' example, and acting on his wisdom found in scripture to live righteously and serve others. It's about doing what he commands out of love and reverence, viewing his guidance as a path to blessing and fullness, rather than a burdensome duty. Prioritizing God over human authority is when human commands conflict with God's, and obedience to God takes precedence (Acts 5:29).
1 Samuel 15:22: "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."
It is a duty of every man and woman that is made in the image of our Almighty God to obey God and follow God's rules.
Autobiography: Reverend Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie was born April 4, 1958, in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, West Africa, where he attended high school and obtained his high school diploma. Late 1990, God opened a door for Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie to come to the United States of America, where he served under the late Bishop James Copeland in Brooklyn
Tabernacle Deliverance Center in Brooklyn, NY. On May 26, 1996, he was ordained by the late Bishop James Copeland as an elder in his church. In working with the late Bishop James Copeland, he learned a lot of biblical things, life experience, and how to work with God effectively. For example, every summer, Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie continued his evangelism task with the late Bishop James Copeland during his summer Tent Crusades. After the late Bishop James Copeland went into glory, his assistant took over the church as a Senior Pastor. The Senior pastor, being led by the Holy Spirit, came to Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie and informed him that God told him to choose him as the Associate Pastor. Upon hearing the request, Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie vehemently refused the position until God came to him in a dream and instructed him to take the position.
During this time, he was attending school with the help of God. He attained his Bachelor's in Business Administration, B.S., Master of Theology, Th.M., Doctor of Divinity, DD, and Doctor of Christian Philosophy, PhD. In 2003, God led Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie to open his own church. He is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Church of Hope Evangelical Ministries International Inc, "HOPE CENTER." Rev. Dr. Osayande Aikoriogie has made evangelism his supreme task in his life. As a result, he continues to devote his time to preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the streets of America and throughout the world. His anointed message of healing, deliverance, and restoration transcends every cultural and denominational barrier. May God continue to give him the strength, the wisdom, and the knowledge to use his five- fold ministry calling to do the work of God effectively. Amen.
