Daily Devotions: Leadership Changes Things – July 21, 2026

  2 Chronicles 10:7 (NLT) – “The older counselors replied, ‘If you are good to these people and do your best to please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.’”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on the vital role of loyalty and how it is developed within a leadership context. Using the contrasting examples of King Rehoboam and his wise counselors, Pastor Sumrall shows how harshness and fear can drive good people away, while kindness and consideration build a foundation of lasting loyalty.   Pastor Sumrall explains that loyalty is grown in the hearts of people through three specific actions: being good to them, doing your best to please them, and providing favorable answers to their needs. He warns leaders that leading through fear or harshness only serves to run people into the arms of rebels, whereas a leader who brings joy and relief to those they serve ensures a loyal and blessed community. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
