Realities and Truth

Matthew 25:23 KJV [23] His lord said unto him, Well done, 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. Faithfulness is the fact or quality of being true to one's word or commitments, as to what one has pledged to do, professes to believe. It comes from a place of trust and loyalty. It is a key ingredient in any relationship whether to God or man. The extent of a man’s faithfulness is pronounced in times of temptation or hardship, when no one is there. David comes to mind when thinking of an example of a faithful man in the Bible. He was faithful to God and to his boss, King Saul. Even those around acknowledged his faithfulness. Ahimelech asked the king in 1Sam 22:14 that who is so faithful among all thy servants as David?  Did he make mistakes? Yes he did but didn’t repeat the same mistake. His level of faithfulness is remarkable.  David served Saul wholeheartedly, yet Saul looked

Isaiah 49:15 KJV [15] Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Joseph faithfully in one of his twists, served his master Portiphar who acknowledged that God was with him, yet put him in the prison for a sin he didn’t commit because it was his wife’s word against Joseph’s. This was despite his faithfulness to God and man. How many of you have been in such situation? You feel you don’t deserve what you are going through. Well Joseph was in the same shoes, yet he never stopped trusting God or doing good. He continued his act of kindness in the prison by looking out for others. That made him notice the butler and the baker were sad. He forgot about his situation and was willing to help. He made them see that solution belonged to God and helped them interpret their dreams. He was forgotten when one of them was restored despite his plea to him. A lot would have been running through his

2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV [12] For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. We’re all created by God for a purpose but sometimes some people feel inadequate for one reason or the other when they look at others. We are not created the same and so we won’t always be like someone else. You are unique in your own way so be grateful for what God is using you to do in your own little way. That brings me to the story of the cracked pot. A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole that he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half p
