How dedicated are you to God? [September 20,2021]

Daily Word

How dedicated are you to God?
1 Kings 8:61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day

Those who trust the Lord and are dedicated to serving God Him are often persecuted or unpopular among their peers.

They might get nicknames like
“Holy holy”, “Pope”, “Virgin Mary” etc used by their friends and family to ridicule them.

Do not get discouraged by the names, it only shows that your dedication and faithfulness is being recognized by men . It should rather encourage you to be more committed to God.

Like the verse above says, continue walking in His statutes (laws) and keeping (obeying) His commandments.

He who is faithful to the end will receive a crown of life ( Revelations 2:10). Disregard the ridicule and mockery and press on to receive your crown of life.

Philippians I:21
For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Like the Apostle Paul, you should be determined in your heart to remain dedicated to the Lord, no matter the cost.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray and ask God to give you the grace and strength to stay dedicated to Him.

Prayer
Let this be your confession and prayer

I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back
The cross before me
The world behind me
No turning back , no turning back
Though no one joins me
Still I will follow
No turning back, no turning back. Amen
