Loyalty To God

 DAILY DEVOTIONS MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT

Loyalty to God is a step into extraordinary divine favor

Scriptures

1) 2 Chronicles 16:9a For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him… .”

2) Psalm 128:1-6 Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord. The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!

Loyalty to God implies a level of faithfulness that is steadfast in the face of any temptation to renounce, desert, or betray God.Fearing God does not mean that our Maker is a fierce and punitive monster like one may fear the predators of the wild.Rather fearing God is simply loyalty to Him and His standard of expectations in our lives.

When God is said to neither sleep nor slumber, He is doing that to protect, deliver and bless His loyal servants. Fearing God is like a spiritual antena that picks up the waves of His Grace and when you pick those waves,the Psalm 128 kind of wellness will be with you.A kind of wellness that gives you His peace which surpasses all understanding.

Surely betraying Him with various sorts of sinful practices is not worth it at all as it dislocates us with His Grace.

Address your loyalty issues and  reconnect with Him during this Lent .By way of Christ’s death and resurrection He was opening His arms that you may get another chance to access the divine embracement, the comfort of laying your head on your father’s chest.

Prayer:

Lord ,I believe in you,please help my unbelief

Lord ,I’m loyal to you, please help my disloyalty 

Lord, Please show yourself strong in all the situations of my life.

Amen.

God bless you
