GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“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.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“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.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“A FAITHFUL MAN SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“What is my REWARD then? Verily that, when I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ABUSE not my POWER IN THE GOSPEL. 19 For though I be FREE FROM ALL MEN, yet have I made myself SERVANT unto all, that I might GAIN the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might GAIN the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might GAIN them that are under the law; 21 to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might GAIN them that are without law” 1 Corinthians 9:18-21.

“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.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics.

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dare. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges to toward being FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]

Our God is FAITHFUL God, that is His NATURE. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.
God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.
God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.
God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.
. . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment [QUESTIONING, CHALLENGES]: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.

“Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the SHEEP of his pasture” Psalms 100:3.

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples MADE with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and hath MADE of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his OFFSPRING. 29 Forasmuch then as we ARE the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” Acts 17:24-29.

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he CALLED them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN” John 10:34-35.

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6.

“For God doth KNOW that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be OPENED, and ye shall BE as gods, KNOWING good and evil” Genesis 3:5.

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER 2020

November 1, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER 2020: The Eleventh Hour MONTH Themed – GOD IS FAITHFUL!

November is the Eleventh (cardinal number) month of the Julian and Gregorian calendar Months, and eleventh in the colloquial expression of time phrase called “the eleventh hour” is used to talk about doing something (turning things around or things turning around) at the last possible moment when least expected. And for this moment, it’s the UNFOLDING of any notable or assumed FAILURE or Limitation to SUCCESS, TEST to TESTIMONY and MESS or messes to MESSAGE(S).

For me, SUCCESS, enduring good SUCCESS that defiles odds, is defined in my context as when failure or failed state of being, is turn inside out for ones good in the light of the Scriptures – Joshua 1:8; Luke 5:1-11. It’s the making of the good out of the unexpected point of life journey, that was/is considered a failed place or position. This is possible because GOD IS FAITHFUL and His promises ENDURE forever more. Amen.

“Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, MASTER, WE HAVE TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake” Luke 5:4-6.

Therefore, let NOVEMBER, be the MONTH you endeavour to acknowledge in Christ Jesus stead that – “GOD IS FAITHFUL” – no matter the life circumstances that befalls you, or might have befallen you, in your journey of FAITH in His grace to LIFE and GRACE – GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING.

More so, let Month NOVEMBER become the Month for your onward and upward trend of THRIVING and ACHIEVING your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT goals meaningfully and fulfilling, through FAITHFULNESS (being faithful) as God is, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, I am a very living proof, epistle and testimony to God’s FAITHFULNESS in all His promises in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. For Great admirable marriages, homes, relationships, career, ministry and businesses are not achieved merely from structural physical design but from human hearts of dedication to the cause of being FAITHFUL all the way in assurance to God’s FAITHFULNESS. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, we promote honesty, decency, integrity and healthy lifestyles in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

I plead with you today and even now, to take a new stride of an onward and upward trajectory to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for GOD IS FAITHFUL. Amen. Mark 11:22; 1 Corinthians 1:9.

WISDOM NUGGETS: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

March 1, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you are only deceiving yourself. And self-deception is the worst ENEMY and COHORTS to one’s self. Hence, Jesus said – it’s about living a WHOLESOME life in Him. Don’t be deceived. God is NOT a man – You can’t BUY or BRIBE Him to get through in life and grace.

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they can outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But why? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE/TITHING and OFFERING, giving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church/Churches in kind/cash; or giving a special donation towards CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes them win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies them into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or REDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.

“God is NOT a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” Numbers 23:19-20.

Am SORRY to say to any that the Kingdom of God has NO short cut access or BRIBERY windows for such self-consumed or consummated intent. For God can’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you sow – (Galatians 6:6-8). And it’s simply because there are more important, primary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and it’s about LIVING the life of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in TITHE/TITHING as well.

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up your TITHE/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T NEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS.

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD. This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ not of me or any there you may have grudge and resentment against. You then – THINK.

YOU NEED TO PONDER And MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and your fulfillment TOMORROW.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. FOR YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 (Amplified).

“Then the PHARISEES went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said. 16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the HERODIANS, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status]. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to PAY a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “THEN PAY TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away” Matthew 22:15-22 (Amplified).

PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

February 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: IT’S ABOUT FAITHFULNESS IN SOMEONE ELSE ENTRUSTED BUSINESS!

“And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a PROSPEROUS man; and he was in the house of his MASTER the Egyptian. 3 And his MASTER saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he DID to PROSPER IN HIS HAND” Genesis 39:1-3.

“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?” Luke 16:10-12.

One great PRINCIPLED hallmark requirements for any Christian who wants to PROSPER and have GOOD SUCCESS by and with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, is to be found FAITHFUL in someone else ENTRUSTED business and or works in goods and or services. It’s called the principle of STEWARDSHIP otherwise MANAGEMENT.

It’s a requirement that in STEWARDSHIP, a steward be found FAITHFUL, responsible and accountable in the PRINCIPLE of an ENTRUSTED position of someone else’s business – be it in goods and or services, irrespective of whether the ENTRUSTED business is owned by a Christian or a non-Christian.

“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.

The enemy and cohorts lies of saying that the riches of the Gentiles belongs to you in order to live UNFAITHFUL, IRRESPONSIBLE and UNACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of someone else’s ENTRUSTED business, doesn’t hold waters in the kingdom cause of our God.

And you can’t make EXCUSES of it because you are bringing the PROCEEDS to the house of God with such level of inappropriate disobedient to the word of God as King Saul did in Biblical days (1 Samuel 15:22-23) and or Ananias and Sapphira in the Epistles (Acts 5:1-11).

Faithfulness to the cause of stewardship in another’s ENTRUSTED business in the outlay PRINCIPLE is as found in the following but not limited:

* God is FAITHFUL in Himself – 1 Corinthians 1:9.

* Jesus in humanity was FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:1-2.

* Moses was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:3-5.

* Abraham was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Galatians 3:8-9.

* Daniel was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Daniel 6:4.

* Timotheus was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – 1 Corinthians 4:16-17.

* Apostle Paul was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – 1 Timothy 1:12-13.

*. . . and many such like FAITHFULNESS in STEWARDSHIP in the Scriptures.

CAN YOU BE CONSIDERED FAITHFUL OR BE FOUND FAITHFUL IN STEWARDSHIP IN ANOTHER’S ENTRUSTED BUSINESS?

Many people WANT God to prosper and keep PROSPERING THE WORKS OF THEIR HANDS while in their UNFAITHFULNESS in the principle of someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs – in goods and services. You found this onward and upward trajectory behavior in many places of EMPLOYMENT – where people behavior helps to run the business down; and when you give them OPPORTUNITY to serve – they ruin it; ask them to TAKE CHARGE of things – they steal from it; ask them to LOOK AFTER a business – they become authoritarian to their subordinates; give them access to GOVERN OR LEAD in government – they loot the treasury and undermine governance; and same UNFAITHFUL behavior in many other such like; and yet these unfaithfulness in STEWARDSHIP will wants God to prosper them, which otherwise will never happen because God will always uphold His WORD, in every way of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In God, it’s about FAITHFULNESS and OBEDIENCE to the PRINCIPLE of any given opportune task over someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs be it in any form of good and services, as applicable to – Ministry, Family, Enterprises, Governance, Leadership, Management and such like more – and this is what actually defines our opportunity to own ours. How we deal with the ENTRUSTED services and goods in terms of materials, finance, equipment, people (staff), time, and such like that’s allocated to our care defines if we will definitely have our own materialized before us by the FAITHFUL God that have called us to the COMMUNION of STEWARDSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will be found FAITHFUL as STEWARD alias MANAGER’S in someone else’s ENTRUSTED business affairs in our path of doing life and living godly, such that ours will come to REALITY before us, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but YOU shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will make YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that FAVOUR MY RIGHTEOUS CAUSE: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in GOOD health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 2 Amplified.

“SERVANTS (EMPLOYEE), obey in all things your MASTERS (EMPLOYER’S) according to the FLESH; not with EYESERVICE, as MENPLEASERS; but in SINGLENESS of heart, fearing God: 23 and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that of the Lord ye shall RECEIVE the reward of the inheritance: for ye SERVE the Lord Christ. 25 But he that DOETH wrong shall RECEIVE for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no RESPECT of persons” Colossians 3:22-25.

“MASTERS (EMPLOYER’S), give unto your SERVANTS (EMPLOYEE) that which is JUST and EQUAL; knowing that ye also have a MASTER in heaven” Colossians 4:1.

“SERVANTS (EMPLOYEE), be SUBJECT to your MASTERS (EMPLOYER’S) with all fear; NOT ONLY to the good and gentle, but ALSO to the froward. 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully” 1 Peter 2:18-19 (18-25).

GOD IS FAITHFUL

November 26, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!

Many times I have come across the QUEST for an ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment toward God and toward men – burdened as to say – if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s is, FAITHFULNESS, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten and battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain FAITHFUL seems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic to them in matters of life and godly living.

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost drawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered, when you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and experiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light:

** A woman being beaten up and maimed by the temperamental and untampered husband or like another husband having a wife you can’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE statement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity.

** When an employee working and putting up with much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the Business with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with no fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the company capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate returns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and untrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and undermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and unknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on them and all those who looks up to them through that means for their livelihood.

** When a government is failing in governance to the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution of the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and dissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system sabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and wealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to loot the system and make it fail at no consequence.

** And the list goes on and on in various life applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can name them too to make up this paragraph.

However, I am emboldened to say by the light of the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in God, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face or have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that God is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I recommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and enjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD OR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we should do it as unto God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to REWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore I say to you, hold fastly and firmly the MYSTERY of your FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE CONSCIENCE.

Herein are few hints but not limited to indicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ Jesus stead:

FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching rewards and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.
FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits progress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20.
FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.
FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.
FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b; Mark 10:28-30.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30).

“But the Lord is FAITHFUL, who shall STABLISH you, and KEEP you from EVIL” 2 Thessalonians 3:3.

“And WHATSOEVER ye do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:17.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

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

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath begun a GOOD work in you will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you are only deceiving yourself.
