Daily Quote: Disloyalty is a destiny killer - Michael Gyekye
Bible in One year: Exodus 8:1-9:35 Matthew 19:13-30 Psalm 24:1-10 Proverbs
6:1-5
Today, let us talk about loyalty. It is sad to note that,
many people in the Church are not loyal. It is the cause of major problems in
the church. Loyalty is a powerful sense
of belonging and solidarity. With it comes the idea of wholehearted fidelity
coupled with unswerving devotion and duty to God and to the men of God he has
given us. If you want favor, you must be very loyal and committed to the things
of God. Your commitment and service to God is a memorial and a monument of
favor.
When you serve, and be loyal to your master, he can trust
you with his estate. The story about the talents in Matthew 25 is all about
loyalty. The one who received one talent wasn’t loyal. He refused to invest and
work hard for his master. But the others worked with it and had interest of
other talents in addition. A loyal child
of God works hard to bring in more souls and revenue. Ministers of the Gospel
have been given talents, it takes our loyalty in the things of God to make us
productive and favored.
God established the very essence of loyalty through His
covenant relationship with His people: “Know therefore that the LORD your God
is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love Him
and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations” (Deuteronomy 7:9). God’s
favor attracts those who are very loyal to Him. On this day of favor, I ask,
are you loyal?
As Jesus’ disciples, we must demonstrate our loyalty and
self-sacrificing allegiance to Him by following His command. Also by “If anyone
would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me”
(Mark 8:34). But even when we fail to be completely loyal and steadfast to Him,
we have His assurance that He will be loyal to us: “And surely, I am with you
always, even to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20b). Let us do the
service of god with all our might and He will reward us greatly - #29day30daysoffavor

“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
