His Faithfulness

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 1v1 (KJV)

Beloved, how faithful are you? What has been committed into your hands? What does the Lord require of you to do? How faithful are you in that which you have been given? We see Ruth in the Bible, being faithful and loyal to her mother-in-law, despite the fact that her husband was dead… and she was greatly rewarded for it. Jesus was faithful to the task that was given to Him, praying that the will of God rule over His will, and He was greatly rewarded for it. Matthew 25v14-30 likens the Kingdom of Heaven to a man who travelled and gave talents (his wealth/money) to his three servants, according to their various abilities. The first two traded and did something with their talents, and doubled what was given to them. The last one buried his talent. What has been put in your hands and what are you doing with it. Of course the master was very disappointed with the one who did nothing with his talent, and he was put out, while the other servants were given even more responsibilities. Matthew 25v29-30 (AMP) says “For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away. And throw out the worthless servant into the outer darkness; in that place [of grief and torment] there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger].”

Prayer

Father, I thank You for every talent and gifting You have given to me. Please open my eyes to see and recognize them and help me to be faithful to use them to the glory of Your name in Jesus name, amen.
