“SERVE ADONAI YAHWEH IN SINCERITY & WHOLEHEARTED LOYALTY!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Remember your leaders, those who spoke God’s message to you. Reflect on the results of their way of life, and imitate their trust.” (Hebrews 13:7)
Remember your leaders and superiors in authority, for it was they who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living.
Reflect on the outcome of their well-spent lives and imitate their faith, their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ and their leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom and goodness.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATES AND LOYALTY
Loyalty is being true to your superior.
If you are ashamed to stand by your colours, you had better seek another flag.
To have no loyalty is to have no dignity and, in the end, – no manhood. (Peter T. Forsyth)
Lack of loyalty and patriotism is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life. (Napoleon Hill)
We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty. (G. K. Chesterton)
What do we mean by the word “associate”?
Associate is the same as colleague, co-worker, friend, ally, companion, comrade, mate, or collaborator.
What do we mean by the word “loyalty”? It means faithfulness, truthfulness, allegiance, constancy, steadfastness, trustworthiness, or dependability.
Loyalty is a two-sided coin. If you are truly loyal to your leader, the fruit of your loyalty will manifest. Loyalty is the principal qualification of a leader.
Loyalty is a long-term commitment to the goal and vision of the leader. Loyalty leads to dedication, sincerity, faithfulness and being totally sold out to the leader’s mission.
Loyalty leads us to serve God through man under any circumstance. A loyal associate serves with integrity and faithfulness. Loyalty leads to a selfless service.
Prophet Daniel was a good example of a good loyal associate of King Darius. (Daniel 6:4-5)
Joseph was another loyal associate who served in the house of Potiphar. (Genesis 39:6)
Beloved, your loyalty today will surely be rewarded tomorrow in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
David served under King Saul with such sincerity and much loyalty. (1 Samuel 18:14-15)
Let us imitate righteousness and faithfulness in Christ Jesus and it shall be well with us.
Somebody shout, “SO HELP ME GOD!”
Shalom and good morning.
