FAITHFULNESS IS SUCCESS
Paul called himself a “steward of God’s mysteries” (1 Cor. 4:1). A steward is a manager who serves on behalf of the owner. Managers in business are judged by their success. But Paul said that stewards of God are judged by their faithfulness. In God’s Kingdom, faithfulness is success.
It’s not how much or how many you have, but what you do with what you have. The world teaches us to keep wanting more. Yet, the Lord asks us what we have done with what we already have. The Lord is looking to find one that is faithful. And to that one, the Lord will say, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” (Matt. 25:23).
PRAYER: Dear Father, we want to be faithful to use whatever You have entrusted to us. You have given us all that we need to fulfill Your purpose in our generation. Strengthen us by Your Spirit to be faithful until the Day of Christ’s return. In His name we pray, amen.
