Not Without Faithfulness

these peeled branches in the watering troughs… when they mated in front of the white-streaked branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted’ Gen.30:37-39

Never make how an obstacle. The fact that you don’t know how doesn’t mean it is the end of the road. Don’t make how an obstacle for your vision. The fact that you don’t know how God is going to do it doesn’t mean it is the end of the road for you. While God’s how can be independent of our planning, God’s how cannot be independent of our faithfulness. What does this mean? It goes back to doing the right thing for long enough. More visions are aborted because of unfaithfulness than lack of planning. Faithfulness is God coming and meeting you doing what He has asked you to do.

• Faithfulness to your God. For some people because of the vision they have and the way the seeming problematic nature of how, they’ve stopped been faithful to God so that they can go and figure out the how themselves. Someone says to me that for the kind of money he wants to make for the Kingdom, it seems that God is slow. So he opts to go and make the money himself and then he will return to fund the Kingdom. As if you can help God. God expects you to be faithful.
• Faithfulness to your family. You have been trusting God for the salvation of someone in your house, don’t give up, be faithful to them.
• Faithfulness to fruitfulness. God has said you will have children, don’t give up you will have children. Continue in faithfulness to the harmony of your home, don’t give up.
• Faithfulness to a local church. We have a lot of Christians that are like orphans; they are not planted in a local church. They just want to float from one church to another. God does not work like that. Some one said you can be faithful to a local church without being a Christian and that is true. But you cannot be a Christian without being faithful to a local church and that is also true. Join a local church if you are not part of one yet.
• Faithfulness to the vision that God has given you. So the how can happen without our plans but the how cannot happen without our faithfulness.

Prayer: Father, grow me in faithfulness and in faithful works, in Jesus Name.
