The fact that you don\u2019t know <em>how<\/em> doesn\u2019t mean it is the end of the road. Don\u2019t make <em>how<\/em> an obstacle for your vision. The fact that you don\u2019t know <em>how<\/em> God is going to do it doesn\u2019t mean it is the end of the road for you. While God\u2019s <em>how<\/em> can be independent of our planning, God\u2019s <em>how<\/em> 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 <!--more-->planning. Faithfulness is God coming and meeting you doing what He has asked you to do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Faithfulness to your God.<\/span> For some people because of the vision they have and the way the seeming problematic nature of <em>how<\/em>, they\u2019ve stopped been faithful to God so that they can go and figure out the <em>how<\/em> 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.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Faithfulness to your family<\/span>. You have been trusting God for the salvation of someone in your house, don\u2019t give up, be faithful to them.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Faithfulness to fruitfulness<\/span>. God has said you will have children, don\u2019t give up you will have children. Continue in faithfulness to the harmony of your home, don\u2019t give up.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Faithfulness to a local church<\/span>. 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.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Faithfulness to the vision that God has given you<\/span>.
