BE FAITHFUL – Sunday August 21st
2016
Memorise: Moreover it is
required in stewards, hat a man be found faithful. 1st Corinthians
4:2
Read: Luke 12:37-44, (KJV)
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the
third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his
house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at
an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this
parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their
portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler
over all that he hath.
Bible in one year: Isaiah
43:1-45:13, Psalms 38
MESSAGE
One
of the reasons why God saved us is that He wants to partner with us in His
kingdom. God is in search of faithful men, He is looking for people who will
produce fruits of righteousness within and without. Faithfulness in the
discharge of whatever assignment God has given us is a proof that we are partners
with Him. Our assignments must be done in a manner that will bring glory and
honour to Him. As teachers of the Word, we are not permitted to teach what is
convenient; we have to teach the absolute Word of God. As pastors in our
churches, it is required of us to be found faithful and have a good oversight
over the flock of Jesus. As co-labourers in the vineyard, we must not do
anything without the Master’s instruction. We must do it according to His
prescription. There are many people today who are in ministry but are running
it as convenient. This will not meet the requirement of the Owner of the work
when He comes with His reward. Ministers of the gospel must make effort to have
a good conscience and to earn trustworthiness on the part of those they are presiding
over. Open Heavens 21 August 2016:- Be
Faithful
As
children of God, we must be in the business of building His Kingdom in
expectation of His return. We are stewards of the Most-High God and much trust
has been committed into our hands. The work of God must not be handled anyhow.
It should not be seen as something that should be done with indulgence. The
expectation is much and one must be faithful and wise so as to be rewarded. No
matter the difficulties one meets on the way, one must forge ahead as a
Christian soldiers and fulfil the ministry which has been committed into his
hand.
“He that is unjust, let him be
unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
still.”
Revelations 22:11
“Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”
Galatians 6:7
If
you are praying, remain faithful in your prayer ministry. If you know how to
praise God keep on praising Him. If you know how to give quality offerings,
keep it up. Keep on paying your tithe. I can guarantee you that your reward is
coming. 21 August 2016 open heavens
