TUESDAY 20TH

FAITHFULNESS COUNTS AT ALL TIMES

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV), “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.”

As Christians, we are all involved in the work of the Lord but what makes the difference that positions us for promotion is faithfulness to that which has been committed into our hands. Oppositions may come but we must be constantly determined to be faithful to the responsibilities and tasks assigned to us. Faithfulness involves taking a stand for what is right and true. It involves being loyal and unshaken in the face of challenges and discomfort.

The dictionary defines faithfulness as “the state of being faithful; allegiance; loyalty; fidelity.” A faithful person is dependable, constant and trustworthy but oftentimes difficult to find. But you can decide to be a faithful person to the Lord, your boss, your parents, your friends or especially your pastor. Faithfulness pays in ways you may never imagine. Someone may not be there to supervise you but you can still do your task faithfully.

Faithfulness is a product of love and I am confident that it will be rewarded with success, promotion, and favour.  Do not get discouraged because it seems like you are working too much without getting results, when the time is right, you will be celebrated. Remember Jesus said that those who are faithful over little will be put over much; YOU WILL SURELY REAP YOUR BENEFITS!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 4:2 (NIV), “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust (in the house of God) must prove faithful.”

CONFESSON: I BOLDLY CONFESS I AM FAITHFUL TO MY RESPONSIBILITIES. I ABOUND IN BLESSINGS BECAUSE I AM A FAITHFUL MAN.

ACTION POINT: Let faithfulness show through your words and actions today.
