Today, we want to look at another dimension of dedication which is: taking sides with God.
This implies standing on the same side with God. Exodus 32:26 says, Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
The Levites came out to be on the Lord’s side. The Levites seemed to have told Moses, “what the rest of the children of Israel did by worshipping the golden image, we are not a part of it. We separate ourselves to stand with God”. This was the beginning of the Levitical distinction.
It is important to know that before this time, the Levites were nothing to reckon with. When Jacob was blessing his children, he didn’t give a blessing to Levi. Judah was blessed and became the tribe of kings. But for Levi and Simeon, Jacob said with displeasure: instruments of cruelty were in their habitation because they slew the sons of Hamor and Shechem his son who defiled Dinah their sister (Gen. 49:5, Gen. 34:25-26). Jacob did not bless Levi but the Levites made one decision to stand on the side of God and that decision stood them out in life. Their destiny changed. The curse placed on Levi, their forefather, was reversed. Their future was rearranged because they made one decision to stand with God.
Beloved, I don’t know what has been following you for many years, if you can make the decision to stand with God, your history will be rewritten and your destiny will be reshaped.
Remember this: Dedication to God implies taking sides with God where everyone else is on the other side.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make up your mind to stand on the LORD’s side in order to be distinct in life.
- Reject every temptation to compromise your stand with God.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to stand with You as the Levites did. Help me to take sides with You even if it means standing alone, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
