Rewards of Faithfulness

Joseph and Mathias, you don't hear much about these two but for their names to be mentioned by the apostles means they were faithful.

Jesus has gone back to heaven and the believers as they were told, are waiting for the promised Holy Spirit. One of their first tasks is to fill up the position left by Judas. They need someone who has been faithful someone who has walked with them and witnessed the Ministry of Jesus since when Jesus was baptized till when he was taken up to heaven.

Two names come up, Joseph and Mathias. You never hear about them but they were there probably in the background faithful and present. The lot falls on Mathias and he takes the place of Judas to complete the 12.

God rewards the faithful his promises become reality to those who remain faithful to him. Think about Job a man who went through pain and adversity of Un imaginable proportions. His wife even told him to curse God and die but the man Job held on and he remained faithful. God rewarded him by giving him double for his trouble.

Job 42:12-13 KJV So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters.

In his time God rewards faithfulness whether it is Daniel or Abraham, Esther or the 3 Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace. God rewarded them.

Maybe you are like Joseph and Mathias you are faithful and present but no one recognizes or rewards you and for a moment there you have been thinking it's not worth it because no one notices.

This one thing I know, the one who rewards the most important of all notices and he keeps record. There is a reward, the ultimate reward that we all are looking forward to and that will only be given to the faithful.

Matthew 25:21 (KJV) His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 above all rule and authority and power and dominion

Ephesians 1:19-20
These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come.

Believer’s Authority; Perspective

When we think about this cosmic war that is going on for the sake of our souls, this is the picture that some of us Christians have adopted in our minds. We think of two forces that are equally powerful going at each other.

It’s like two powerfully muscular men at an arm wrestling match. You can see their muscles bulge up and tense as they clasp their hands together. For a moment there you are not sure whether the match has begun because their hands seem not to be moving. Then you realize the match has started and because both are equally strong none seems to be able to defeat the other and their arms don’t seem to be moving.

That’s the wrong perspective, no wonder many live in fear and defeat. God is all mighty while satan is a created being, you cannot put them on the same level. The devil is tiny like a grain of sand with no power or authority while God is all mighty and all powerful.

So where are we in this whole picture? Thanks for asking, let me show you our position.

Ephesians 2:6 And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,

That is the right perspective. You and I are seated with Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human]. How can you and I allow the enemy intimidate us when we are seated far up above him with Christ?

When you look at things from this perspective then you have a different outlook to your place and authority in Christ.

When David walked into the battlefield and saw Goliath, he had a different perspective. All Israel’s army was intimidated by the sheer size of this monster of a man. They looked at themselves, put themselves on the scales with Goliath and they found themselves wanting and so they were scared and hid.

That’s the perspective some of us have. David on the other hand looked at the size of this monster of a man and comparing him to the God who had delivered David from the lion and the bear, In David’s eyes Goliath looked tiny and defeated.

What is your perspective?

Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

The devil lost this war before he even begun it, don’t let him intimidate you!

No One Cried at My Friend’s Funeral

Diaspora Messenger | November 18, 2015 | 8 Comments

Yesterday we lay to rest the man who literally took me to church. No one cried at the funeral; his wife and children didn’t shed a tear.
He was our neighbor and a faithful choir member at a church in our hometown. He brought me along when he went for choir practice. We had a unique father-like friendship. On Sundays he dropped me off at children’s Sunday School. That was 30 years ago! I am now a grown man with three children. We kept in touch once in a while over the years and were always joyful to meet.
My friend was a super achiever. He pursued a bachelor’s degree at age 45 and was about to finish a doctorate at 63. His determination and tenacity was admirable. He uplifted his extended family economically and financially assisted many other people.
However something was amiss… A line in the eulogy confirmed my fears: “Throughout his life he maintained a very busy schedule.” He went abroad for further studies, leaving his young family for more than 10 years. They got used to living without him. When he returned, he was a part-time lecturer at a whopping six universities spread throughout the country, meaning a very hectic travel schedule for a man over 60 years old! He died alone in a car accident at 1 a.m. returning from one of his many engagements.
My friend was a loner. It’s clear he didn’t spend quality time with those closest to him. It’s clear he spent his resources and himself serving the “church” selflessly. Hundreds attended the burial. Cars thronged the small village and had to be parked at a playfield! He had so many acquaintances but none was intimate.
I felt deeply rebuked. I did some retrospection on my own schedule and realized I am particularly prone to the same trap. I kept postponing visiting with his family until it was too late. My schedule was busy!
My heart broke at the thought that I could be neglecting my own friends and family at the excuse of ministry demands. I spent the weekend in Eldoret and on Monday morning my son started crying in class, saying he was missing Dad. Some friends have complained it’s hard to get me on phone. Yesterday, for the first time in more than five years, I spent the whole day with my mum alone as we drove to the funeral service. She was so happy. I didn’t realize how much she missed my fellowship. I also lost the ritual of taking my wife out for dinner each fortnight. God help me re-organize and prioritize my life around what is eternal and matters most.
While we abhor idleness, busyness is not an option. While we esteem sacrifice, hard work and putting bread on the table, staying away from family is not an option. My employer will replace me when am gone but my children will never have another dad. Since I don’t know how many days are left, I want to spend them first intimately loving my family then ministering to God’s people.
It would be a sad thing if no one cried at my funeral.
