GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS PRACTICABLE AND APPLICABLE!

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

God is FAITHFUL! And He’s not just FAITHFUL in His NATURE, but requires every of His children that will do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, to be FAITHFUL in everyway in the cause of time as He is – AN EVER PRESENT TENSE IN HIS FAITHFULNESS. If this is not possible in His grace, He will not require it of us in His enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as also in these but not limited Holy writs:

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE is FAITHFUL that PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

May I also say that in life, some are set to LEAD in a CAUSE while some are set to ASSIST – that is, to HELP/SUPPORT the person assigned to LEAD in order to THRIVE and ACHIEVE the together, the common and mutual goal. Meaning, while some are EMPLOYERS (Leaders), some others are EMPLOYEES (Helpers) in such given common ground framework. Note that in the Kingdom, neither the HELPER/SUPPORT or the LEADER in such privileged and opportune CAUSE, are less a being at ALL to each other, in all the way of doing life and living godly – for it’s all a matter of individual RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of God to all. You can mirror it in the CAUSES of doing life in any of THESE:

** Family Life

** Marriage

** Business

** Enterprise

** Government and Governance

** Gospel Ministry

** Community or Private Organisation

** Social or Charitable Cause

** Local/National or International Obligations

** . . . and many such like . . .

And in each applicable and application of life and godly matters, God expect each one as in the wisdom of King David as in the Holy writ of 1 Samuel 30:24, to have a fair share ALIKE in the good and outcome of any or such endeavours in pursuit.

“For who will HEARKEN unto you in this matter? but AS HIS PART IS THAT GOETH DOWN TO THE BATTLE, SO SHALL HIS PART BE THAT TARRIETH BY THE STUFF: THEY SHALL PART ALIKE” 1 Samuel 30:24 (1-24).

Unfortunately, many today are oppressed, denied and marginalised of their fair rights and privileges in cause of time, even to their basic entitlement of doing life and living godly. While on the other hands, some are fighting and heating up smoke to enable them gain rights to fair share at no cost, contribution or giving a helping hand at all. These INDIFFERENCE on both sides or ends OUGHT not to be in any place where FAITHFULNESS is a requirement, and to manage the RESOURCES that pertains to all. For the EARTH is the LORD’S, the FULNESS thereof, the world and all who DWELL therein. And Believer’s in Christ Jesus are all CALLED to share in the INHERITANCE of God in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, knowing that the EARTH is the lord’s and all the resources in used, and FAITHFULNESS is required to be a STEWARD of His grace and BLESSEDNESS, it’s NEEDFUL for me to show some APPLICABLE areas in this light, however not limited on the need to be FAITHFUL as in THESE:

1. Be A FAITHFUL Employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be FAITHFUL. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.
2. Be A FAITHFUL Employer – Look WELL after your staff in whatever the business/Enterprise. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.
3. Be FAITHFUL In Any Relationships -This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society. Luke 16:1-13; 1 Peter 3:1-12; Ephesians 4:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.
4. Being FAITHFUL In The Kingdom Business – As a Gospel Minister, Pastor, Ministry Worker in Leadership or not etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is not negotiable and it’s a basic prerequisite to achieving desired Kingdom causes with God in Christ Jesus stead. Luke 1:49; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).
5. Being FAITHFUL In Marital Relationship – In Marriage one cannot afford to be UNFAITHFUL and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12; 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; Hebrews 13:1-6.
6. Being FAITHFUL In Parenting – Faithfulness is also vital requirements of God in a parent/child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6.
7. Being FAITHFUL in Friendship – Faithfulness in friendships is NEEDFUL in our daily life support. Not necessarily when in trouble times only, but in good times to ascertain STRENGHT in our relationship in course of time. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.

May I say again that there are many other applicable ways in the light of the Holy Scriptures wherein FAITHFULNESS and being FAITHFUL is required of you – do search the Scriptures.

I plead to you in Jesus Christ stead to do life and live godly by being FAITHFUL; for our stewardship as expected to be trustworthy custodian of God’s resources on EARTH in the utilisation, will be question and challenge one day, based on FAITHFULNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is UNJUST in the least is UNJUST also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will commit to your TRUST the TRUE riches? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall GIVE you that which is your own? 13 No SERVANT can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL) to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.
