Faithfulness is a virtue which must be held dearly by every child of God. Faithfulness is about doing what you are supposed to do, in the way expected or agreed. The Lord said, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities” (Luke 16:10 NLT). Don’t cry for greater positions of responsibility if you are not faithful in the current one. This applies everywhere, in family, work, ministry or church. Faithfulness today is a sign that you are ready for the next level. Faithfulness is a demonstration of loyalty. God will never entrust you with greater things if you can’t be faithful in what you have now. In Nehemiah 7:2, Nehemiah stated, “I put my brother Hanani, with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem, for Hananiah was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many [of the others]”. You have to stand out in faithfulness. Faithfulness embraces honesty in what you do.

It is not expected for a child of God to be dishonest in your dealings. Don’t be like Judas who was stealing from the treasury in Jesus‘s earthly ministry (John 12:6). Such a trait affects others’ trust in you and erodes your testimony of the living Christ. You ought to be a witness of Christ everywhere and in everything. You are called to display the glory of God even in your dealings. Faithfulness is a virtue the Lord desires to find in your life when He comes back. Matthew 25:23 records, “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master”. Your faithfulness will be rewarded by the Lord when he comes back and today it paves way to your next and higher level of authority and responsibility. Cherish faithfulness always and in all things.
