Blessings Of Faithfulness
“You were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.’ Matthew 25:21
In the Bible, to be faithful means to be consistent and dependable. And being faithful is a quality that God always reward. ‘A faithful person will abound with blessings.’ Proverbs 28:20.
Jesus said, ‘Many are called, but few chosen.’ Matthew 20:16. This is because talent may open the door and get you in, but character and faithfulness are what keep you in.
When it comes to faithfulness, God will test you in two ways:
1. Your faithfulness in someone else’s vision. ‘If you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?’ Luke 16:12. If you’re always critical, caustic, complaining, competitive, or constantly comparing yourself with others, you will be disqualified for what God has in mind for you. Faithfulness calls for serving with love and humility.
2. Your faithfulness in small things. ‘His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things… For to everyone who has, more will be given… but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”’ Matthew 25:23, 29.
God wants to know He can trust you. You prove that by how well you serve others and by your faithfulness in small things. These are proven Bible principles that don’t just work in spiritual matters, but in everyday life.
Take a few moments to prayerfully ask yourself the question, ‘Am I faithful?’ Faithfulness attracts God’s blessing.
