Alright, your damn people, Father, we say thank you today. Father, we appreciate your name and give you all the glory today. Thank you for seeing another new day. Thank you for the entrance of your world today.
Thank you for all you are going to speak to us because we love us. We appreciate you and we give you all the praise in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we ask of you today once again that you speak as you've been re-infused. We ask of you that you don't speak to us in parable today.
But speak to us in the language that we understand you and let our lives be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, faithful Father. In Jesus' mighty name we are great. Amen.
The topic today is the Faithful Part 2. In 1 Corinthians 4, verse 2, the Bible says, Moreover, it is required in stewards that in man be found faithful. Be found faithful. Revelation chapter 2, the census, be thou faithful unto this.
And I will give thee a crown of light. Revelation chapter 17, verse 14 says, The data within are called, chosen and faithful. Take note of the word, be that are within. They are called, what they are chosen and they are faithful.
Faithful means trustworthy, lawyer, dependable or steady. I wanted to note that God values faithfulness more than your talents or your success. If you look at the heavens' commendations in Matthew chapter 25, verse 21, Jesus said, Well done, thou am faithful servants. I wanted to see the word, well done, thou am faithful servants.
The scripture or the commendations of heaven is not well done, thou talented or successful servants. But said, thou good and faithful servant. If you look at the illustration we gave last week about a soldier who stayed at his post and saved the bridge. If this man or this soldier was not for strength that he had, but for his faithfulness, even when other soldiers ran away, he stapled until he was able to succeed and overcome.
Faithfulness, not because he has the strength, but because of his faithfulness. Let's go play the categories of faithfulness. What are the categories of faithfulness? Number one, faithful in your character.
How faithful are you in your character with men and even with God? Integrity in words and your actions is very important. How faithful are you when it comes to integrity, in your actions with men and even with God? How faithful are you with the words of your man when you speak the word you will come to make sure that he is done or he goes otherwise?
How honest are you in little things? The Bible says you have been faithful in little things. That means you will be faithful in much. How honest are you when little things are committed into your hands?
The faithfulness on little things determines how faithful you will be when big things are handed over to you. Another faithfulness that I show in character is your consistent and public and private life. When you are outside, how do people see you? When you are living in your private life, nobody sees.
How do you live? Do you live another life outside? But inwardly or in your within or in your private life, you are living another life. That does not portray how faithful you are in your character.
Another character is of your categories of faithfulness is in your convention. Walk by faith and you are not walking by sight. Everything around you is saying no, but you say my God is able to do all. Even though you are not seeing results, you believe that God will do it.
Abraham the Adnosing is Son. God believed that God will do it. And it was counted on to him as righteousness. Stand firm.
Under pressure like that, man. Can you stand on the pressure as system firm like that? When you refuse to deny Christ, no matter what's coming, maybe, or what maybe, you stand firm and refuse to deny Christ under any circumstance. It means faithfulness in convention.
How do you offer all the fast to your sound or train? The Word of God. What do I know? In the midst of challenges, when people say otherwise, you stand and say no, this is what the Word of God says.
Even when everything around you is old, you still hold on to Word of God. This is what God says. You are faithful in your convention. Faithful in service.
Are you dependable in responsibility? When your particular work or duties given to you, how do you go about it? Are you dependable? Do you use your talents and gifts fruitfully?
Or the talents and the gifts in you, they are just dominance? Do you use what God has given on to you to serve him faithfully? Those talents and gifts given to you, they are not just for decoration. They are not just meant for titles.
They are not just meant for you to be popped off. They are there for God's use, for his glory. How do you out-domains is that talent in you or the gifts that God has given to you? He shows how faithful you are in God's service to him.
How committed are you to fellowship and go-swog? Are you committed to go-swog? Are you committed to the fellowship of brethren? Are you committed to go-swog?
This shows how faithful you are in service. How committed are you to evangelism and so winning? How do you feel when you see your deliverance and you see them going towards hell? Do you feel happy?
Do you feel just normal, neutral? What are they like to let them go to whatever place they are? You feel the body within you that this person or this social be saved. This shows how faithful are you in service to God.
Another category of faithfulness is your faithfulness in relationship. Are you loyal in promises than your vows? Or you make promises? Do you feel this?
Do you walk in love and also in forgiveness? When someone offends you, are you easily quick to forgive such person? I want to tell you, there's no way in this life that you will not be offended. People will offend you.
Everybody around you will offend you. In fact, people that are not even around you will offend you. But how faithful are quick are you to forgive when they offend you? Do you walk in love?
Do you walk in forgiveness? Do you show generosity and compassion to people around you? Do you put their own issues? Do you walk in poverty or you see sympathy?
Do you put your own same issues when they come to you and they are going through tough times? How generous or compassionate are you? How supportive are you to kingdom's needs? Are you supportive?
When you know there's a need to the kingdom assignments? How do you go about it? Do you feel it doesn't concern you or do you feel to help out? In my non-bian finance, that's not the problem that we talk about.
Everything is about finance. Do you feel what your strength has given you? Even if you have the money to give to the kingdom assignments? What are the strengths?
What are the knowledge? The brain? What are your hands? What are your legs?
There are a lot of things that you can use, a lot of your voice to go to assignments, kingdom assignments. Are you faithful in this? The last category is the end. The second category is the faithful in triumphs.
Do you end your hardship patiently? Do you remain grateful in all seasons? You are always complaining. You are always complaining.
What God has not done? Are you perseverance? Do you keep your lamp burning? The lamp that God has given on to you.
Do you keep his burning? Do you have an extra oil? The last one is a full inkobe. Do you live with eternity in view?
One day Jesus will come. He will surely come back. The way it's empty, it's empty. The same way we come back.
Give me a little more. Maybe you also have even joined Catholic people saying that the other day you come from the day of poverty. You have not come back. Are you part of them?
If your face will be surprised that Jesus is coming soon. Don't let him meet you in a way. Live with eternity in view. In whatever thing you are doing on it, that you know one day he comes back.
You will prepare daily for Christ coming. What do you have? Those who are wanting to come have not achieved. Even so-called Christ and says, no Jesus, you don't come there.
No, I am not married yet. Jesus, you don't come back. Not that I have given birth. You know that I even want the delay of Jesus Christ.
Do you love his appearing? It's a positive. It's a multi-chapter force. It says it.
Do you long your love for Jesus appearing? And also in this aspect, faithfulness in oath means you finish the resource. Do you long to finish the resource or you want to stop out for it and not end it? I pray that I will not be your portion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want to know that all these are rewards. Why are you faithful? Are you faithful? Are they in Jesus' cons and say, well done?
As he said, it's a multi-chapter, 25-21. Commendation cons, which is well done. Good and faithful servants. There's another reward for faithfulness that is the crown of life.
In Revelation chapter 2, it's in eternity with Christ. You will live forever with Jesus Christ. And you will live with the Lord. I pray that we help us in the name of Jesus.
I want to hand these at these notes and say, the faithful are not the most gifted, but the most consistent. Faithfulness is real, but I want to tell you it's every requirement. When the trumpet sounds, only the faithful will be caught up. No matter what, when there's any time trumpet sounds, let the notes be so sure that only the faithful will be caught up with him in the name of Jesus.
The Bible says in 8 months, chapter 4, verse 12, prepare to meet thy God. Or ever prepare to meet thy God, because he can't come at any time. I want to pray to God to tell it to God. Make me faithful.
In character, in service, in trias, and also in new. Tell it to God and say, Father, keep my lamp burning until the trumpet sounds. Keep it burning. Let me hold it up and destroy it.
In whatever I do in the name of Jesus, my holy will not run dry. Let me have an extra holding, whatever I do. So that my lamp will keep burning until the Lord returns. In the name of Jesus, tell it to God, let me be counted among the faithful who will ring with you.
I have some mercy and I have some grace and an ablement to be counted among the faithful at your return. In the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, faithful Father. In Jesus' name, we are free.
