DAY 87 —
*“When Lineage Is Not Enough, Loyalty Decides Destiny”*
> “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10
*1 Chronicles 7–10:* Genealogy preserves names, but only obedience preserves purpose; Israel’s tribes are listed, yet Saul’s fall proves that position without faithfulness ends in loss—he died not for lack of calling, but for lack of obedience. God remembers families, but He weighs hearts.
*Zechariah 12–14:* Zechariah reveals the other side of history: when God pours out the Spirit of grace, hardened hearts melt, pierced truth brings repentance, and the Lord Himself stands as King over all the earth.
Do not rely on heritage, titles, or yesterday’s victories; choose repentance over pride, faithfulness over familiarity, and allegiance over appearance. The war is real, the shaking is severe, but those who mourn before the Lord will stand with Him when He reigns. Lineage may place you in the record, but loyalty places you in the kingdom.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
