The interesting thing about Loyalty is that it must be preceeded by a pledge - a verbal(vocal) or written commitment. In some cases, inaudible (internalised) commitments. That is where the concept of "...For better for worse..." emanated from. It simply implies that in changing circumstances or situations, I will remain loyal. It's time to refresh our memories regarding our various commitments. When we do, we wil suddenly discover a fresh enthusiam and strength to stay loyal. In our homes. In our marriages. The workplace. Our relationship with God. In our churches. With friends...etc. Let's get up and show ourselves Loyal men and women. Think about it... Who do you readily think about? Isn't the people who you consider committed or loyal to you? The Lord help us all...

The Force of Loyalty - Guarantees Divine Remembrance
In the previous session, we wrote on the Force of God's word - His promises. In this session I'll be sharing on another force that guarantees that you will be remembered by God, for good. The Force of LOYALTY!
Loyalty is defined as a feeling or attitude of devoted attachment and affection. Devoted implies commitment. Loyalty to God - a prerequisite to being remembered by Him for good cannot be achieved and sustained without determination and resoluteness of heart - the reason? There will be trials and temptations that will attempt to push us off the edge. That form of resoluteness shown by Esther in the book of Esther in the Bible "...If I perish, I perish..." will be necessary to guarantee unfailing loyalty. Still talking Loyalty...It will be tried thoroughly. Incidentally, to stay loyal to one another in relationships of all kinds will require a determination to stay put, to hang on in there, to hold on. When his family, business and health were destroyed by the devil, there was no explanation to Job as to who was doing it (Job 1:20-22, Job 2:7-10) or why he was going through all of that but, his loyalty to God stayed in tact. Ordinarily, when there are differences, either in our views, lifestyles, expectations, etc, loyalty to ourselves suffer but Job even while in terrible pains and sorrow he wrote "...I know that my Redeemer liveth..." (Job 19:25-27). His loyalty to God was unwavering even when he couldn't understand what will be be achieved by the destruction of all that he valued...The end result of his loyalty? God remembered him for good (Job 42:10-17). Let's practice unwavering loyalty in our relationships, particularly our marriages...Differences will show up as we journey through life but let's remember, it takes determination to stay in there. As we stay determined, our homes will succeed! God will work things out for our joy! See you on the side of success. God bless you.

Nothing is as strong as the WORD of God! IT IS THE STRONGEST FORCE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! Hebrews 11:3 emphasizes "...the worlds were framed by the word of God..." In Genesis 22:2 God instructed Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Abraham knew that God would never negate His word. God had said to him earlier in Genesis 17:21 "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac..." So when in Genesis 22 god came up with the idea of sacrificing Isaac, there was only one thing that Abraham needed to be certain about - Is it God that was speaking to him? Many people are believing God and holding unto God for what God never spoke to them about. Because God had earlier told Abraham - my covenant will be established with Isaac, Abraham was convinced that even if he sacrificed Isaac, God would raise him up from the dead - in order to fulfil His covenant! No wonder the angel had to stop Abraham from sacrificing Isaac - that the covenant might be fulfilled. (Gen. 22:11-12)
Once you locate God's word, it becomes a strong basis for you to be remembered for good. Isaiah 41:21 says "Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob." God is basically saying - get me the word that I pronounced concerning that situation and let the word compel me to remember and act on your behalf. As pursue to locate God's words, may insight and revelation open up to you in Jesus mighty name! I see the force of God's promises breaking every barrier and releasing your joys to you! Your body will respond to the decrees of God to be fruitful! Your marriage will respond to His decrees to be peaceful! Your business and career will respond to His decrees to be profitable! It is well with you! Se you on the side of victory!
