LOYALTY IN SERVICE
God wants us not only to be loyal to Him at all times, but also to give Him undivided service. He wants us to be sold out entirely in serving Him and Him alone, not minding the cost. To God, service is one of the fundamental ways of worshipping and expressing undivided loyalty to Him. It therefore means that if you cannot give Him your all in service, then you are not altogether loyal to Him,.
Funny enough, Satan is also competing for both worship and service from man (Matt 4:8-10). The truth is that if Satan demanded this from Jesus, he will do so from nay man. He is on daily basis competing with God for lordship and authority. Surprisingly, many supposedly children of God are already serving him. His mission is to frustrate every move to give God undivided service by:
· Bringing diverse temptations from money, women and men along your way;
· Keeping you bound with diverse problems and distractions;
· Getting you too busy as not to leave enough time for God;
· Getting you satisfied or complacent with your level of spiritual height, even when you are not truly born again.
However, in this loyalty month, we have another opportunity to take a determined resolution like the Israelites in the days of Joshua…..The LORD our God will we serve, and His voice will we obey (Josh 24:24).
May the Lord God help us!
