Well, if your list of commands already is a script, then including it 
would be the most convenient method.

Let's say your list is called "script" then

. <path_to_script>

would do it...

In other case here is a small executor script which reads your file line 
by line and executes it:

#!/bin/bash
# file: executor
while read line; do
	echo Executing: "$line"
	eval "$line"
done < "$1"

If you start the executor with your file as the first parameter, it will 
execute the lines one by one.

# ./executor script
