FAITHFULNESS

 

When God created us, He made us different in so many areas. We all have different capabilities, different intellectual levels-some do well in school, some don’t, different financial levels-some are rich some are poor, different talents- some have more talent than others, different opportunities- some have more than others, different circumstances, different levels of health- some are sick others are healthy. We are all different in so many areas. God is impartial, He does not show favorism, therefore how does He do this and give us equal opportunities despite all our differences?

God in His wisdom, has made us equal by expecting from us what everyone can achieve despite our differences; that is, He looks at faithfulness. Before God, both the rich and poor, edeucated and non-edeucated, more gifted and less gift, both sick and the healthy CAN BE FAITHFUL. No one can ever say to God that He could reach not the standard that God expected from Him due to His circumstances. By God expecting faithfulness from His children, He shuts the mouth of everyone. Everyone can be faithful without exemption.

When Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of marrying an Ethiopian Woman and saying that God also speaks to them, God came and called them out and told them that the way He spoke to them was different from the way that He spoke to Moses. To them and other prophets, He spoke through visions and dreams and riddles or dark sayings- messages that are difficult to understand, but to Moses He spoke openly, directly, mouth to mouth as a man speaks to His friend. He explains the reason He spoke to Moses openly was BECAUSE HE WAS FAITHFUL IN ALL GODS HOUSE. Num 12:1-8. We therefore conclude from this passage that the more faithful a person is before God, the more clearly and openly God will speak to Him. Dreams and visions is not the highest way that God speaks to His children, though He does, but speaking to us directly, openly and clearly in our hearts and we speaking to Him also in our hearts as in a conversation, is the highest way that God speaks. We should long for this.

Paul explains that what God expects from all His servants, to whom God reaveals His truths is that they must prove themselves to BE FAITHFUL. 1 Cor 4:1-2.

He also writes to Timothy that what he had heard from Paul among many witness, He was supposed to COMMIT IT TO FAITHFUL MEN; not clever or influential men but faithful men who can be able to teach others also. 2Tim 2:2

Jesus says that many are called but few are chosen. Mat 22:14. This is not because God is impartial, but because few respond to the call. For example, in a field with multitudes, you can call everyone to come, but we know that not everyone will, only a few will respond yet everyone had equal opportunity to come. Those who respond are the ones who are chosen. This is not the final sifting, it says in Rev 17:14 that those who will have the privilege of being with Jesus in the war against the devil and see the devil defeated are CALLED, CHOSEN AND FAITHFUL. Not many who respond to the call are faithful, only a few. Be among them.

Jesus says to the church in Smyrna, even going though great suffering, that expected them to be FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. Rev 2:10

Jesus will reward those who were FAITHFUL and wise in doing God commanded them to do. Luke 12:42-43

To those who made profits from the talents God gave them, he says, WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. Mat 25:20-23

The only commits His true riches to those who are FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon. Luke 16:11
