    42 Pursue What Builds Loyalty (Symposium)


    —Appreciation

    [PLEASE NOTE: This talk includes a video]

    PURSUE THE THINGS THAT BUILD LOYALTY (1 min.)


    A loyal person lovingly attaches himself to another (it-2 280)
    This symposium will discuss four qualities that will help strengthen
    our attachment to Jehovah
    As in the preceding symposium, note that both attitudes and actions
    are involved

    HOW DOES APPRECIATION BUILD LOYALTY? (2 min.)


    When we receive a beautiful gift from a close friend, we are
    appreciative, and our attachment to our friend becomes stronger
    Jehovah has given us many wonderful gifts [Read Psalm 116:12]
    Consider “all the good” Jehovah has done for us
    The ransom, his Word, his holy spirit, and Bible understanding are
    some of his ‘perfect presents’ (Jas 1:17)
    Our appreciation for these gifts strengthens our attachment to
    Jehovah, moving us to serve him loyally, thus living up to our
    dedication [Read Psalm 116:14]
    We maintain our loyalty to him “day after day” (Ps 61:8)

    HOW TO BUILD APPRECIATION (4 min.)


    Make it a habit to focus on the good in others
    Focusing on faults can blind us to how Jehovah is using his
    organization and the faithful slave (Mt 24:45)
    That Jehovah accomplishes so much using imperfect humans is a
    cause for praising him (1Co 1:27, 28)
    Lack of appreciation leads to a critical spirit, which leads to
    disloyalty
    Meditate on and talk appreciatively about Jehovah’s organization
    (Ps 48:12-13; w11 3/15 17-20)
    No other organization is providing Bible-based spiritual food
    The global preaching work is being carried out in harmony with
    Jesus’ command and prophecy (Mt 24:14; 28:19, 20)
    To help accomplish this, Bible literature is available in over
    750 languages
    In the following dramatization, note how a lack of appreciation can
    lead to serious consequences

    VIDEO (3 min.)

    WILL YOU BUILD APPRECIATION? (1 min.)


    [Emphasize the following expressions from the video] ‘Appreciation
    for everything—everything that Jehovah had done for us. . . .
    Appreciation for Jehovah’s organization’
    Those words, stated in the discussion in the video, provide a
    sobering lesson for us
    If we want to build an unbreakable attachment to Jehovah, we must,
    in both attitude and action, do as 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says:
    “Give thanks for everything”
    By doing so, we will do as our convention theme says—“Remain
    Loyal to Jehovah!”
    Brother will now consider the next part of this symposium,
    “Pursue What Builds Loyalty—Self-Control”
    TO BE COVERED IN 11 MINUTES
    5 2015 Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania
    CO-tk16-E No. 42 12/15
