TOPIC : UNDERSTANDING LOYALTY
(Special edition)
TEXT: JOHN 8:31-36
LOYALTY OF A PROTEGE PROVOKES FRIENDSHIP
Man was once an outcast when Adam our progenitor was thrown out of God's presence, we became outcasts. They called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after - Jeremiah 30:17.
Jesus then brought us to God.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit - 1 Peter 3:18.
When we give our lives to God through Jesus, we became sons or daughters of God. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name - John 1:12. Listed steps that we must take before our relationship can graduate to friendship
1. Continuing in his word.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed - John 8:31.
2. _Love for others._
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another - John 13:35.
3. _Winning souls._
Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples - John 15:8.
Realize that becoming your superior's friend does not just suddenly happen, It is takes a process.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
