Allegiance to God
Listen
Transcript:
Today we need to come to an understanding in the areas that we need to obey God rather than people since we are always surrounded by people and their exceptions from us and sometime we get obligated to give into the pressure.
In Acts 5:29, the disciples face the similar situation, when they were out of the prison, the Pharasees warned them not to speak about Jesus, but Peter and the apostles responded that they need to obey God rather than any human, yet knowing their authority over them as their allegiance was towards God.
Anytime, it may be your closest friend, your spouse or even a person whom you meet on a daily basis or even the authority that is been placed over you, if they ask you to do something that is contrary to what God says, then you are obligated to reject it.
These situations might come in everybody’s life, how we prepare to obey God’s voice, is not just when we are put into that place but we have to start obeying God on a daily basis, this will prepare us with the strength required to make the right choice when we stand before the human authorities that we are obligated to listen to.
We see this from the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and many other men and women of God who stood up for their faith against tyrannical dictators, though they were persecuted, the foundation that they had to obey God gave them the strength to endure through these difficult seasons of their life.
May you be filed with divine strength and divine courage to respond in the right way. This is in fact will be a testimony of your love for God and His grace over your life.
You will have divine strength, if obedience to God is your foundation. Share on XGet This Episode

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
