To be faithful is a gift, given from God.


Hebrews 11:1 'Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for or prove the existence of the realities that at present remain unseen.'

When we leave all, we have behind and we choose to follow Jesus and live our new ways, we bring forth the God who indwells within and one of the ways we can be faithful to God, is by being faithful to all whom he dwells in. As human beings we can tend to lose faith at times, build barriers around us and distant ourselves. Here is the thing though, even in the light of our unfaithfulness, God will remain faithful, God is sometimes the only thing, the only thing we really count on; he is our hope in a broken world. Faithfulness affects every relationship we have and it’s about standing by someone even when we disagree with their decision, it’s bringing a gift from God, the blessings of love, joy and peace to all.  Faith is trusting in something we cannot see. It’s because of faith, that we wake up each day to get a second chance to do it all over again. At times, when you start over and leave the old ways behind, it can be a struggle, for your faith in people, faith in those who call you a friend, faith in those who say, “with the love of my heart.” Often fail us, hurt us all too satisfy their own egos or maybe they have a flair for showmanship and it’s all an act, I mean, I have heard around the altar is like a stage. It’s not about being successful, it’s how you make people feel, it’s about the way you treat another human being. Do you think God Rejects? Do you think God makes a person feel unworthy? Do you think God makes a person feel not good enough? God gives us all a chance, an opportunity, why can’t you? Don’t say to me, you are a faithful person to God and those whom he dwells in, when you make people feel unworthy, like they are nothing or not good enough because that is you proven me right, you are a hypocrite, a liar and I know you can’t help what you say, but that doesn't mean you are a faithful person to God, it makes you a human like the rest of us who struggle and fight everyday to be a new version of ourselves, a version which God can only see and hope that we strive to be..  Everyone deserves a chance and to be given an opportunity to try or prove how faithful God is when in the present there is still something we cannot see. I might not be what you want but I might be what God needs to live out his purpose on earth.

If we find it hard to start over and live new lives, trust in God, believe in good things to come. That might be easily said than done, this quote is true; “Trust can take years to build, only takes seconds to break and forever to repair.”  ‘Since this vision is for its own time only, eager for its own fulfillment, it does not deceive, if it comes slowly, wait, for come it will, without fail.’ Habakkuk 2:3.

It might be easy for some to leave their old ways, and visions might come fast for them, maybe they have reached the top of the mountain and God is showing them a new land. Remember, we are all climbing the same mountain, it’s not a competition, everyone is trying to reach the same destination and that is to the top of the mountain to see a new land, new light, it might come slowly but it’s in the assurance of faith in God, that things will come, without fail. .

Maybe I challenge you all, if you have reached the top of the mountain and you have been shown a new land, why don’t you help those who are struggling, those who seek to be faithful to God and all those who God dwells in before they give up, lose hope, build barriers and become distant.

May God Bless Always
