Faithful

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. – 1 Corinthians 4.1-2

What is required of God’s stewards? Are we all ranked on our successes or failures? Is there an accounting of how big my church is or how many people I saw saved through my ministry? We live in a success driven world where numbers can sometime be the determining factor.

What does God require of His people? He has made us all ministers to reconcile men to God. We are all stewards of the gospel. It matters not whether we are labourers or business people or pastors or janitors or home makers or missionaries or public servants ot teachers or whatever. When it comes to preaching the gospel only one thing matters to God.

It is required in those stewards that we be found faithful. All God wants from us is for us to keep on keeping on. All He wants is for us the be stedfast and unmoveable and abounding in His work knowing our labour is not in vain. God wants us to not be weary in well doing. All He wants us to do is to not lose heart in doing God’s work.

Be faithful – and be assured that God will be pleased.
