MY THOUGHTS ON LOYALTY

InSpired
AMBITION AND LOYALTY

Loyalty, faithfulness and remaining true to your promises, friends, leaders and subordinate is crucial in your Christian walk.

God said ' I remain faithful even when you are faithless because l can't deny myself. It means God remain truthful to every promises and covenant He made even when men are not loyal to Him.

The Sun will still rise and set on earth for human sustainace even if the people in the  land turn to idolatry and forsake the worship of the Only True God.

The name of Jesus Christ will continue to heal the sick, raise the death, make the blind to see, bring riches and wealth even if a Christian is not faithful to his/her pledge of honouring and obeying Jesus Christ and His Word at all times.

A Subordinate can be disloyal to the leader as the case of Abner and Ish-Bostheth. 
He was rebuked by his master and  in revenge  sold his master and the Kingdom to King David ; the rightful king. 

' This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath" 2 Samuel 3:6-30. God detest Loyalty. Abner lost his life


Although it was the will of God for David to rule over Israel but Abner betrayed the King for his own selfish ambition. He was more interested in making himself stronger among the king's supporters. 2 Sam. 3:6
He USED DISLOYALTY TO ACHIEVE DIVINE MANDATE.

The Holy Spirit said "Speak only good of all men and don't spread the negative about them even when they hurt and offended you'

We must learn to speak about people strengths to others and speak about their faults to God privately.

David had the same challenge as Abner. He had the opportunity to kill King Saul and ascend the throne God's promised him. But David chose to allow God fulfill his promise in His own way. 

We must understand that you cannot use the instrument of  ungodliness to fulfill divine mandate. Though you may have result but God will not be pleased with the method through which you achieved your result 

Getting result is important in the Kingdom and God promised every believer fruitfulness in our endeavours. (Psalm 1:3-4 and John 15:5) 

But achieve success using the virtues of Honesty, Loyalty, Love, kindness, sincerity and avoid the cut throat competition in the world.

May we grow.from grace to grace in Jesus name

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
