TOPIC: True Christian Loyalty (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 11 March 2021)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 1-2

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ruth 1:1-8 (KJV)

1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.

4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

MEMORY VERSE: “He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.” – Proverbs 21:21

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Loyalty is not a word. It is a lifestyle.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
EVEN WHEN THERE IS TRIAL, THE LORD WILL GO BEFORE YOU AND COMPENSATE YOUR LOYALTY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The MESSAGE:

Loyalty is a virtue. It is living a life that honours God. It shows that we value a relationship and God will reward our faithfulness. It is faithful and unswerving allegiance to God. Unfortunately, loyalty is losing its appeal today. Many people do not see it necessarily as a good thing.

Today, marriages are breaking up because spouses do not want to keep their commitments to stick together “for better for best”. Loyalty is to stay devoted or faithful to a person or a cause. In our text today, we see the story of Ruth and Naomi, which we are going to learn today.

A family of four (father, mother and two sons) left Judah because of famine. Remember Judah was their home town and they came to Moab. The two sons later married women from the land. After some years, they died, leaving behind their wives. When Naomi lost her husband and her two sons, she decided to return home. She told her two daughters-in-law to return to their native land (Moab). Ruth refused. She was very brave and faithful, but Orpah, the second daughter-in-law, returned to Moab. Ruth decided to serve Naomi’s God. She said, “Where you go, I will go. Where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God shall be my God” (Ruth 1:16).

Ruth was a Moabite but that didn’t stop her from worshipping the true God. She is a perfect example of true loyalty. Although she belonged to a race often despised by Israel, she was blessed because of her faithfulness. She became a great grandmother of King David and a direct ancestor of Jesus.

What are the challenges you are facing today that your loyalty is zero to your Maker? Is it because of your race or background? Is it because of money, ill-health, and so on? Ruth faced early widowhood. Despite this, she stood firm and courageous. There is nothing that should hinder your loyalty to God. Nothing must come between you and your sincerity with Him. I advise you to beware of anything that will compete with your loyalty to Christ. Trust in Christ alone for salvation. You must die to self and conform to the image of Christ.
