TOPIC: Are You Truly Dedicated To God? (Seeds Of Destiny 4 August 2024)
SCRIPTURE: Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house. 1 Chronicle 29:3.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When a person is not devoted to God, his dedication is not complete.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
In our world today, many people claim to be dedicated to God, but their lives do not show the true marks of dedication to God. The subject of dedication to God is only a statement on their lips.
We need to understand what brutal dedication means so we can know if we are truly dedicated to God or not.
Now, what is dedication? What does it mean to be truly dedicated to God?
i. Dedication means affection for God.
A dedicated person is someone who has love and affection for God. Solomon was one great example of dedicated people.
1 Kings 3:3 says,
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
The truth is, you can only be called a dedicated Christian when you have love and affection for God. This is a situation where what brings you to God’s Presence is not just your needs and the quest for God to meet them, but your longing for His Face.
ii) Dedication means devotion to God.
Dedication also means brutal devotion to God. A dedicated Christian is a devoted person. Devotion to God is a mark of dedication. When a person is not devoted to God, his dedication is not complete. God first of all, checks the devotional life of a person to confirm his dedication to Him.
Daniel had incurable addiction to God to the point that he was ready to die for God and His Kingdom (Daniel 6:10). This is true dedication.
Now, the question is, do you love God genuinely? Are you addicted to Him? Do you seek His Face more than any other thing else?
God is looking for people who love Him genuinely and are devoted to Him. Make up your mind to be such a person.
Remember this: When a person is not devoted to God, his dedication is not complete.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Critically assess yourself to know if you are truly dedicated to God.
- If your love for things is above your love for God, ask God to plant in you true love, or affection for, and devotion to Him in you.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the baptism of true love and affection for You. Give me the grace to be devoted to You and Your Presence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
