Commit to Memory: “He (God) said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.” (Numbers 12:6-7 NIV)
Beloved your faithfulness to God in all things is very important in your advancement in Kingdom matters in the eyes of God. That was why immediately God rejected Saul, He said in 1 Sam13:14 “I have found a man after my heart that will be king over my people.” I have found David; He was saying I have found a shepherd boy who has been faithful and diligent. So for this reason he can lead my people- Israel. How did God find David faithful? He noticed faithfulness in tending the sheep of his father and in serving king Saul who was even after his life. The Almighty God saw faithfulness and diligence in David little wonder He said in Psalm 78:70-72 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (emphasis mine):
“He [God] chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds; [Reward for faithfulness and diligence]; From tending the ewes [female and matured adult sheep] that had their young [signs of faithfulness], He brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob His people, of Israel His inheritance. [Reward for faithfulness and diligence]. So [David] was their shepherd with an upright heart; [signs of faithfulness] he guided them by the discernment and skilfulness [which controlled] his hands. [signs of diligence].
Friends, the truth is that when God wants to bless his children, he will check their status of faithfulness and diligence. I ask you a question- How faithful and diligent are you in your Christian walk with the Lord? How faithful are you in those things that the Lord commits to your care through men- how diligent and faithful are you in doing them? Could it be that you are lackadaisical or nonchalant the way you treat sacred things, stop treating the work of God with levity. The Almighty God said whatsoever your hands have found to do- do it as unto the Lord and do it with all of your heart. Why? Because actions and motives are weighed by the Lord. I pray for a user of this inspiration, may the Lord cause His face of favour to shine on you and lay His hands of blessings upon you as you make up your mind to serve Him faithfully and diligently now and always.
The Almighty God said of Moses that of all in His house- it was only Moses He trusted. Hmmm, what a testimony. I pray the Lord will make us faithful in all things till we see and meet Him in Glory.
Reflection: To be Faithful means to be trustworthy. Can God trust you?
Prayer Lines: Father, help, find and make me faithful and diligent in my service to men and you.
