Well done, good and faithful servant!

Hebrews 11:2 For by it (faith) the elders obtained a good report. What is the report that Heaven has of you? The men and women of old trusted God and His word. They believed in God’s promises even during times of great distress and hardship. By faith (confidence, trust and reliance on God), they received divine provision, strategies, miracles, deliverance and answers. Because of their confidence in God and their faithfulness to Him, they have a good report and testimony in Heaven. Right now, your report is being created. What will Heaven’s report say about you? Are you living your life in such a way that all of Heaven speaks well of you? Are you daily working on your faith in God (confidence, trust, and reliance)? Will God say to you: “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”? (Matthew 25:21) Something to think about today!

God is looking for bold, courageous faith!

Almighty God is a rewarder. He acknowledges and responds to faith and obedience. Hebrews 11:6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” A reward is: “something that is given in return for good behavior or service; a recompense; an award.” God rewards those that diligently seek Him in many ways, not only in this lifetime, but also in eternity. Hebrews 10:35 says: “So don’t lose your bold, courageous faith, for you are destined for a great reward” Jesus taught in the parable of the talents that those who are faithful will be rewarded with greater authority, influence and joy: Matthew 25:23 ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Don’t ever let the enemy steal your faithfulness. It will be rewarded. Galations 6:9 says: “Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.” God is pleased with the faithful. Remember, you are destined for a great reward, so stand today with bold, courageous faith. He sees your faithfulness!
