In this YouTube Shorts sermon, Hesed Ojieh cites 1 Samuel 15:22 to argue that true faith is expressed through obedience and concrete action. He challenges listeners who claim they lack resources, urging them to start small—like buying a $3 doll and practicing braiding hair on it—so they can eventually open a braiding salon. The core message is that faith remains locked unless it is activated by doing what God commands, regardless of perceived limitations.
1 Samuel chapter 15 verse 22 says obedience is— I can't hear you! I can't hear you! If God says do it, yeah, that's all. Now, now, now, now, now he said but God said I should start a braiding salon, I don't have the money. Did He tell you to get the money? He told you to braid people's hair. Start braiding your hair. Start braiding. Go to Walmart, buy the doll for $3. Braid the doll's hair. Have 500 dolls you are braiding. Am I talking to somebody? Because see, faith is locked except action unlocks it.
