Allegiance, to Who? (II)

We love Him, because He first loved us. I John 4:19

Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-39

The Bible is a love story. It has stories written many centuries ago of people who dedicated their lives because of love. For instance, God gave His only begotten son so that whosoever believe will have everlasting life. Summarily, Hebrew 11 briefly renders accounts of menand women who performed tremendously for God’s kingdom simply because they loved Him.

Love is about pledging allegiance. God desires His people to love Him and submit their allegiance to Him. Since Lucifer fell from his glory and lost dominion, it has been a fight between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Jesus Christ came to restore dominion that was lost in the Garden of Eden when the first Adam fell. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37-39) all center on Love.

In the context of marriage, when two individuals (male and female) vow that they love each other, they simply pledge their allegiance to one another. The issue is who do you pledge your allegiance to? Dear friends, when you are in one need or another and there is the temptation to steal, forge figures in the office, and embrace fame and wealth without Jesus etc., the choice you make is a reflection of who you have pledged allegiance to.

Action Point: Pledge your allegiance to God in every area of your life.

Intercessory prayer: Pray that the heart of people in your community will be opened to the love of Jesus.
