Be Committed to God’s Commitment

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions. - Psalm 45:7

To enjoy continuous favour, you must be committed to God's commitment. You must come to a point in your life where you do not seek any other thing than God. God wants us to be committed to his commitment. When you do this, he will bless you as if you are the only one on earth. For instance, when they persecuted the apostles, they could not be stopped because they were committed.

Beloved, when you are committed, no force of hell can stop you. The kingdom of this world is a kingdom of power, and power can change hands but the greatest power is the power of God. When God connects you by favour, you must be committed. Many lose their place because they are not committed. And one thing that makes people reduce their commitment to God is fear. Beloved, do not give in to fear. When you fear people, you lose power with God. Power with men can fail. Rulers can have power with people but what you need is power with God and when you honour people who love sin, you lose power with God. You love the sinner but hate his sinful life.

The enemy envies the name of Jesus, there is no other name by which men are preserved but the name of Jesus. Jesus is the permanent solution to human trouble. The apostles were threatened not to preach in Jesus name because of the envy of the religious leaders but thank God the apostles refused to be silenced. They answered the religious leaders with boldness. Beloved, give men honour as much as possible. But no man must take the place of God in your life. People lose power when they fear men.

When your commitment to God is yielding results, people will want to join you. But when they come to join you, will you make them become as you or you become like them. You must let them become like you so as not to lose favour with God.
