Stay Devoted

‘And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God’ Titus 2:12

Devotion comes with a price. Commitment to God calls for self-sacrifice. It is a choice to sacrifice your personal will for the will of God. When it’s all said and done, the only thing that will matter is how you have walked with God. It is your heart walk not whether kings served you or you served kings that will guarantee your eternity. Being the kindest person or the most giving person will not guarantee you eternity with Jesus. The rich young ruler was a good person and he obeyed every commandment. He wanted to know if that was enough to guarantee eternity. So Jesus said to him, the key is to give everything you have to the poor and follow God. ‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need’ In other words, Jesus was saying, devotion requires all or nothing. The key to spending eternity with Jesus is to stay committed to Him. Examine the relationship between husband and wife, commitment equates longevity. ‘Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked… But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season’ Ps.91. Make God priority at all times and stay glued to God. A hundred years from now, the one sure thing that will matter is your relationship with God. Your social standing will not matter, how you were perceived by people will not matter. All that will matter is Jesus and your devotion to Him. Is Jesus the Lord of your life? Are you washed in the Blood? Are you committed to and living for Him? Eternity rests in Him; the only way to God is through Jesus. You have to stay connected to Him. Staying devoted to God not only guarantees you eternal life, it guarantees you safety, provision, victory, excellence, and the list is endless. In actual sense, staying devoted to God is doing yourself the greatest favour. Pay the price, commit to Jesus and grow in your devotion to Him daily.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I give myself to You afresh. I declare that You alone are Lord of my life. Father I ask for the grace to stay devoted to You and make You priority always, in Jesus Name.
