GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!

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

“So then, let us [who MINISTER] be regarded as servants of Christ and STEWARDS (TRUSTEES, ADMINISTRATORS) of the MYSTERIES of God [that He CHOOSES to reveal]. 2 In this case, moreover, it is REQUIRED [as essential and demanded] of STEWARDS that one be found FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2/Amplified.

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 to say, staying 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. But I know Faithfulness is rewarding; and God is still FAITHFUL even when we walk away from His faithfulness, because faithfulness is about His person and nature and He can’t deny Himself because of us.

“It is a FAITHFUL saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 if we SUFFER, we shall also REIGN with him: if we DENY him, he also will DENY us: 13 if we BELIEVE NOT, yet He ABIDETH FAITHFUL: He CANNOT DENY himself” 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

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:

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

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the WILL of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:1

“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.

The knowing that GOD IS FAITHFUL and we need to live FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD Him, is a gracious and graceful place and position to be in Christ Jesus stead; but that’s not complimentary enough until we actualised our life, by being FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD men. THERE’S THE NEED TODAY TO LIVE FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN; more so, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.

It does mean, that we can’t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL life’s toward those who OVERSEES our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. It is a dangerous place to take when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you know that you’ve inclined your spiritual mentorship in leadership toward, irrespective of any circumstance.

Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks FREEDOM in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries and precautionary measures. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25), as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE thyself in the HOUSE of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the TRUTH” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men in respect [Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9]. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6].

He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God’s heritage, in order to present them perfect – complete, whole – as one that’s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel [Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24].

However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of – RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God’s heritage and precious people for their spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men without sentiment, prejudice, dissimulation and irrespective.

Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:

** Tychicus – (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellow servant in the Lord) – Colossians 4:7-8; Ephesians 6:21-22.

** Onesimus – (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) – Colossians 4:9.

** Epaphras – (A Dear Fellowservant and FAITHFUL Minister) – Colossians 1:7.

** Timotheus – (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) – 1 Corinthians 4:17.

** Lydia – (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord) Acts 16:14-16.

** Silvanus – (A FAITHFUL Brother) – 1 Peter 5:12.

There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as Ephesians 1:1 will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus. The essence of these mentioned, is to indicate that our being FAITHFUL is not only TOWARD God, but also TOWARD men – especially those who are place of God to OVERSEE your spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. They have a responsibility and accountability in principle to ensure they bestow and commit Kingdom Ministerial work only to the FAITHFUL Brethren – 2 Timothy 2:1-3; for not all in the house of God have FAITH or rather are endeavouring to live FAITHFUL to the CAUSE of God and toward men – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Obey them that have the RULE over you, and SUBMIT yourselves: for they WATCH for your souls, as they that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” Hebrews 13:17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“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. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” 1 Corinthians 4:1-3.

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.

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

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.

“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.

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:

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

“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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND – FOR YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW DEFINITION IS POSSIBLE!

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

It’s a high time to STOP blaming others for nearly everything about you. It’s time to awake, rise up, get a LIVE to LIFE and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction. For now, it’s your time to enact and authenticate your faithfulness in the grace, in order to ensure and be assured of your stead in Christ Jesus, for our GOD IS FAITHFUL. When you TILL [Explore, Create, Initiate and Innovate] YOUR LAND, you are defining and enriching your possibilities today and tomorrow.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough” Proverbs 28:19.

We live in the age of WISDOM by God’s grace; and God is ever willing to make all grace abound toward you in this respect [1 Corinthians 1:24, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:1-6; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 1:17; James 1:5-6]; And your today and tomorrow is DEFINE by WISDOM – the application of knowledge and not DEFINE by MIRACLE and MYSTERY that some crave more after rather than KNOWING the God of MIRACLE and MYSTERY to obtain the needful wisdom to become what they ought to be SCRIPTURALLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Anything otherwise, you will end up as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY in the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God, not knowing their God, the God of the miraculous for themselves; while unlike Moses, who knew the FAITHFUL God of Miracle and His WAY – the PATH – that makes one’s DEFINITION in everything.

“He made KNOWN his WAYS [PATH] unto Moses, his ACTS [MIRACULOUS] unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.

Your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly. That’s to say, your HARVEST or DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS – Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13. It thus means that it’s within your ability to EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and INNOVATE with the capacity of THE MEASURE of the GRACE and FAITH available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS that ENSURES and DEFINES you – Deuteronomy 8:18; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 12:3.

It thus mean also, that one’s DEFINITION is to stop being SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD and LAZING around with reliance on a bottle of ANOINTING OIL, HOLY WATER, special PROPHET HANDKERCHIEF, MIRACLE WRISTBAND, CAR or DOOR STICKER and such like; instead, it’s of your DILIGENCE in a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads to CREATIVITY, INNOVATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING to succeed with God – Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 28:19-22; Proverbs 12:11, 14. For it’s within you to DEFINE the atmosphere and happines your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 3 John 2; Romans 5:1-2.

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional DILIGENT CHOICE TO BECOME of God in Christ Jesus stead [Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 6:11-12; Proverbs 22:29]. Meaning it’s something you create, initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Otherwise, one will keep shouting an unending slogan of “I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE . . . etc” with all the noise and bubbles within the surrounding and around. And shouting for instant miracle and breakthrough at no FOUNDATION to SUSTAIN and to have the sense of DIRECTION is misleading. And more so, without the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady in Christ Jesus stead.

Just know that you are born of God and you CAN have your DEFINITION in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises – [1 John 4:4,6; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Corinthians 1:8; Romans 8:28-30]. For MAN, that’s YOU, is the REASON the earth was CREATED. Meaning, the Earth is made for Man and not the other way round – meaning MAN for the earth. Therefore, I urge you to TILL (CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE) your LAND and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; Proverbs 12:11, 14; Proverbs 28:19].

I pray for you right now in the precious name of Jesus Christ, that you find purposeful and meaningful FULFILMENT, in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead, as you TILL – create, innovate, initiate and explore – your land in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, that I may KNOW thee, that I may find GRACE in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, MY PRESENCE SHALL GO WITH THEE, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy” Exodus 33:12-19.

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST: THEN WORK AND WALK AT IT – IT’S GOD’S EXPECTATIONS FROM YOU – BY BEING FAITHFUL!

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and HAST REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10.

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP the limited mentality of EXISTING and START the enacting the redemption act of LIVING.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION [THE CHURCH]: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING [VOLUNTEER] in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3/Emphasis Mine. [Hebrews 12:22-24].

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION to live by the WORD but by a mere anticipated vision seeing or daydreaming or presume imagination, then life will be in a mere existence and not a living worth, as you may expect or intend to see.

Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is, RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the result of SICKNESS, POVERTY, and SPIRITUAL DEATH; and is the redemption that gives the right to LIVE and to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you are in a state of mere EXISTENCE and not LIVING, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you LIVE and reign in life.

Whatever you do as a profession/career, be FAITHFUL and the BEST in life and grace. Are you a Manson/Bricklayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sort and such like – be the BEST? Whatever your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresight – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 [Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29].

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centred and self gains. And if do you envision to be the best, then work and walk at it – it’s God’s expectations from you – by being FAITHFUL as He’s FAITHFUL in every way in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

“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.

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

“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.

It’s not in the good of the Christian FAITH that any should think that they can acclaimed to a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example if one say, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES –  to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that they are many people struggling in the Faith in spite of all gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS [GODLY LIVING] in the kingdom and in the grace upon which our faith stands in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:5-6]; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – [1 Corinthians 4:1-2; Luke 16:10-12].

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it. Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY.

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the good and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God.

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.
