Hi Champ, let’s dive right into today’s devotional, shall we? Today is about love and loyalty.
Today I will be talking to you about two great attributes the Famous King Solomon recommends in the book of proverbs. These attributes can be found in our focus verses for today.
Let’s see what the bible says.
Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people. –Proverbs 3:3-4 (MSG)
This verse identifies two things you shouldn’t lose grip on, two things you shouldn’t let go of, and two things you should hold on to for the rest of your lives. These things are Love and Loyalty.
What is Love?
This is when you truly and really care about someone or something, so much that you try very hard to take care of them and keep them safe.
Remember what the bible says about Love? It’s the greatest commandment of all, God’s instruction to us is to love our neighbour –those around us– as ourselves.
Let’s see what loyalty means…
Loyalty means being committed to our family and friends, and being committed means that we make promises and keep them. We do what we say we’ll do for the people we care about.
King Solomon says you should not lose grip of Love and Loyalty, he says they should be a priority to you so much that you carry them around always like you wear something around your neck, he says you write them in your hearts like you would write something on a piece of wood.
This will help you live a reputable life, a life lived for God. And by so doing, your good reputation will also be visible to everyone around you.
PRAYER: Father in Jesus name, teach me how to love others and be loyal at all times. Amen
ACTION PLAN: Do something really nice for someone today.
DECLARATION: I have love in my heart, I am loyal to my friends and family.
Loyalty was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 21st of March 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.

In His teaching, Rev Dunamis made mention of the following important points about loyalty. As believers we must be loyal in the following areas
1. Vision of the House
Anything that is two-headed is a monster.
You can’t bring your own vision into the house.
Interpret the vision of the house on a personal level.
2. Principles of the House
You don’t break your principles because of sentiments or emotions.
As ladies, you show your loyalty when you don’t dress to seduce or distract people.
Don’t do your own things, follow the principle of the house.
3. Philosophy of the House
In Shouts of Grace Center, we don’t go from house to house eating.
It is a philosophy we have imbibed, from the head and it flows down. so also other areas.
4. Standards of the House
In Shouts of Grace Center, we don’t come late to church, especially as leaders.
As a leader, you are on the spot light and so people are watching you closely.
We don’t cohabit and we don’t sleep around in SGC.
Cooperate with the standard and the anointing of the church and experience 100% blessings.
5. Doctrines of the House
The beliefs and trends based on the teachings in the bible are doctrines.
We believe in salvation, Holy Ghost Baptism, Good marriage, godly relationships, the death and resurrection of Jesus e.t.c.
6. Procedures of the House
Involve the leadership of the church in every of your endeavors especially your relationship.
There is no need to hide your feelings, let the pastors know.
We don’t eat our tithe in SGC. The tithe is the first 10% of your income
7. Emphasis of the House
Sexual sanctity is the emphasis of Shouts of Grace Center.
Raising Generations of men and women who are sexually sanctified
8. Anointing of the House
There is an anointing tied to SGC that we must connect into.
An anointing for God’s mercy and help.
Whatever you receive passionately and what you receive casually comes casually.
In shouts of Grace Center, our Amen is very loud.
When you are a part of a family, you stand for that family, you fight for the family, you are loyal to the leadership and the church itself.
I am dedicated. I am passionate about my church. I am loyal to my pastor, my church, and my leaders. I attract loyal people. I am loyal to my spiritual father/mother. I am loyal to my parents.
