Good-Life Devotional:  LOYALTY TO GOD IS LEARNT — SO IS DISLOYALTY
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
   Loyalty to God is not automatic; it is cultivated through teaching, example, and personal choice. In Jeremiah 35:2–14, God commended the Rechabites, descendants of Jonadab the son of Rechab, who had been trained to abstain from wine. Even generations later, they obeyed their father’s instruction. This shows that loyalty to God and His commands can be passed down through consistent teaching and example (Proverbs 22:6).
   On the other hand, disloyalty is also learned. Jacob, influenced by his mother Rebekah, deceived his father Isaac (Genesis 27). This deceit became a pattern in his family, showing how learned disobedience can have lasting consequences. By contrast, Timothy learned genuine faith from his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois (2 Timothy 1:5), proving that godliness can also be inherited through godly influence.

However, learned disobedience can be unlearned. The Bible commands us to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). Through repentance, immersion in God’s Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit (John 14:26), we can break cycles of sin and build a legacy of faithfulness.

Isaiah 1:19 declares, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Obedience brings blessing (Deuteronomy 28:1–2), while stubbornness leads to loss. We must choose daily to learn loyalty to God—by loving Him, keeping His commandments (John 14:15), and walking in His Spirit (Galatians 5:16).

What we learn and live, we pass on. Let it be loyalty, not rebellion, that becomes  our family’s testimony.
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a humble heart .
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to be stable .
