TOPIC: DEDICATION DESPITE DISTRACTION
SCRIPTURE: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword…nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us – Romans 8:35, 37
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God created us to be fully dedicated to Him.
It is important to note that Dedication is part of God’s requirement for an acceptable service in His kingdom. God created us to be fully dedicated to Him.
However, there are distractions when one decides to dedicate himself to God. For example, when everything around you wants to make you stop going to church, praying, or worshipping God; at such a time, dedication to God becomes very challenging.
Do we really need to be dedicated to God at difficult or trying times? Of course we do because it is actually at the time of need or danger that we really know what a person actually stands for.
Distractions could come by way of an orchestrated human resistance and antagonism for your refusal to be ordinary or as a resistance targeted at the abortion of your destiny.
Now, what do you do in times of accusations and oppositions?
1. Treasure the Presence of God above the pressures of life, never let go. Here is the point: keep yourself in His presence despite the pressure.
2. Refuse to bow to depression. Joseph refused to bow to depression; he was busy making people excited, interpreting their dreams.
I prophesy to you: it doesn’t matter what you are going through, you are coming out a champion of faith, in Jesus’ Name!
Remember this: God created us to be fully dedicated to Him.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Never let the devil see your tears in your temptation.
2. Maintain a firm relationship with God despite distractions.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to overcome my oppositions and remain focused on You alone, in Jesus’ Name.
