MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday 17th July 2026.

There are several lessons to learn from Jehu’s life. He started well but finished badly. The exact cause was not that he got carried away by his initial success, a common cause of failure in people. Rather, it was a case of half-hearted obedience to divine instructions. He obeyed God’s command to wipe out the family of Ahab and Jezebel for the evils they had committed in the land. He destroyed the altars of Baal and killed all their priests, yet, he disobeyed on one ground.

He worshipped the golden calves of Jeroboam. Could Jehu have thought that the worship of Baal alone was to be eradicated and not the worship of the other idols? It was a wilful sin, a deliberate decision to bow to the calves, rather than the Lord God Almighty. It was a reflection of the condition of his heart. God detests disobedience and half-hearted obedience equals no obedience at all. The Bible says no one can serve two masters; you will love one and hate the other (Matthew 6:24).

You cannot serve God and mammon, nor God and Baal. Jehu tried to serve God and idols. Possibly, he was living in self-justification that made him to lose focus. He got it all wrong. There was no moment of devotion to God. He lived for himself and thought he could yet serve God maximally. Where have you compromised your position as a Christian? Do you serve God with your whole heart or half-heartedly like Jehu? You need to establish a relationship with Him through your devotion, before rendering your service to Him.

Be devoted to God in worship, praises and fervent prayers. Draw near to God through His word. Joshua declared, “As for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). This is a choice, a determination and a confession. You must be ready to do the same. Be on the Lord’s side, fully committed and dedicated with total obedience all the way. May the Lord help our weaknesses, in Jesus’ name.
