LOYALTY CLAIMS

What is ultimately demanded of such servants is that they are trustworthy (1 Corinthians 4:2)



We often pay attention to and adore people who are famous and successful. Yet sometimes we read about ordinary people who were famous, but respected for their faithful service over the years. He may be a school custodian, cafeteria waiter, handyman, or store cashier who has served others in a dependable and dedicated manner.

This kind of trustworthiness often goes unnoticed by many, but I believe it is a great picture of how we should live. Although loyalty is not something that is easily seen, it is increasingly being seen as important by God.

Paul wrote, "It is required of servants ... that they be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4: 2). If we live faithfully to Christ, God has promised to reward us in His due time. When the Lord comes, He “will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. Then everyone will receive praise from God ”(verse 5).

When we yearn for success, Allah says, “I will reward you.”

When we thirst for recognition, God says, "I acknowledge you."

When we were ready to give up, God said, "I will help you."

Whether our ministry is known to many people or not, we have the same responsibility, which is to be faithful --David McCasland

GOD DON'T ASK US FOR SUCCESS
BUT TO BE FAITHFUL
