GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many times I have come across the QUEST for\nan ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment\ntoward God and toward men as to say if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s is,\nFAITHFULNESS, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten\nand battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain faithful\nseems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic in life and godly living to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost\ndrawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered,\nwhen you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and\nexperiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** A woman being beaten up and mained by the\ntemperamental and untempered husband or like another husband having a wife you\ncan’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE\nstatement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** When an employee working and putting up\nwith much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the\nBusiness with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with\nno fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the\ncompany capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate\nreturns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and\nuntrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and\nundermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and\nunknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on\nthem and all those who looks up to them through that means for their\nlivelihood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** When a government is failing in governance\nto the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution\nof the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and\ndissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system\nsabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and\nwealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to\nloot the system and make it fail at no consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** And the list goes on and on in various\nlife applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can\nname them too to make up this paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I am emboldened to say by the light\nof the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in\nGod, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face\nor have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that\nGod is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I\nrecommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and\nenjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD\nOR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we\nshould do it as unto God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to\nREWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS\nin Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, I say to you, hold fastly and firmly\nthe MYSTERY of your FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE\nCONSCIENCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herein are few hints but not limited to\nindicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ\nJesus stead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching rewards and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits\nprogress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians\n5:20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
