CHOSE TO REMAIN FAITHFUL

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: CHOSE TO REMAIN FAITHFUL

The world interpreted success differently. Being faithful is not the key to a successful life, but not in the eyes of God. Look at the disciples - most of them died as criminals. Heb 11:36-37 describes what happens to many of Jesus followers - "36Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37They were stoned ; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated ..."

They suffered because they chose to remain faithful to God's Word and God's Work. According to the world's standards, all of them were absolute failures! Yet Hebrews 11:38 says, "the world was not worthy of them."

All these people were called losers or failures by the world. Yet they were honoured by God. Why? Because they were faithful to their Master. They were faithful servants. They were successful not because of prosperity and power, not because of prestige or popularity, but only because they were found faithful to the Lord. They were faithful in obeying His Word and doing His work.

Whenever God give us a responsibility, let us accept it and do our best at it. Treat each small task as important and demonstrate that God can depend on us. One day, we are going to hear the Lord says, "Well done, good and faithful servants."

Matt 25:23 "His master replied, well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your masters happiness!"

Luke 16:10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

Dear friends, we are not alone in this world. We have a God who is our Lord and Saviour. One day we will all face Him. And give an answer to our life. Why? Because we received this life from Him. He made us and loved us. He wants you to know Him and that's why He sent Jesus to this world. Come and believe Jesus today, and once you have reconciled with God, you will experience life abundant.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS, DESTROY EVERY UNFAITHFULNESS IN US AND MAKE US FAITHFUL TO THE END THAT WE MAY HEAR WELLDONE FAITHFUL SERVANT
