A Faithful Generation

in #esteem6 years ago

If faithfulness is measured by favourable circumstances, then let's call unfaithful men and women, victims of circumstances. But if otherwise, let's call a spade a spade, they are simply unfaithful. Even the devil knows the standard and yard stick for faithfulness. Without any favour to the devil, God conceded to the devil as regards job.

Doth job fear God for nought? Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? "Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land". This was the view of Satan. What a practical test of faith in God! "Put forth thine hand now and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face" Job 1:9-11.
This is exactly what is happening today! High level of unfaithfulness to God, even to blood relations. Unfaithfulness is practically displayed in little things: from distribution of materials ( pen, pencils) in schools, churches, publicly, etc to the high level of rebellion and disobedience to scriptural beliefs and standards. Youth can no longer work under a leader younger than their ages (pride in disguise)! Educated youth and adults can no longer fellow the foot print of their faithful spiritual leaders (please tell such that: a little learning is a dangerous thing)! Youths and students who grow pride under the nostrils of their leaders now believe that such leaders are ' old fashioned' (spiritual arrogance)! Church treasurers, fellowships treasurer, group treasures , have all become experts in falsifying monetary data (sweet things also kills)! Yes, professional instrumentalist! Good to know that you play in the church of God only if you are paid extravagantly but never forget that you learnt these skills of yours 'FREELY', in another church (smart professional instrumentalist - keep it up)!
Easier said than done; " I have decided to fellow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back. If no one joins me still I will follow, no turning back no turning back " Unfaithful youths smart spiritual leaders, you all serve deceitfully in your local assembly, gain the love and trust of your followers (subordinates) and then steal their hearts to your so called 'comfort zone' - the will of God. (You have questions to answer in heaven)!
A lot of youth re highly unfaithful to themselves let Aline God. They cannot even pray on their own, no daily devotion, no thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6), no self examination they are simply perfect (1 Corinthians 9:26-27).
To worsen issues, they don't come to Church, those who come, cannot join a group (big men and big madams). Those who join groups are too proud to be submissive ever criticizing and threatening to withdraw. Those who deceitfully endure, eventually pick up religious positions that make them too big to hear others preach,pray or control them. All these acts are questionable before God.
Let's wake up to the reality - what does it take to be faithful? What is faithfulness? Is it a possibility? Does it pay? Are you faithful? Faithful to your leaders? Are you faithful in your service to God? Faithful in monetary issues? Faithful in your business or office? Faithful to your partner or spouse, parents and friends? Are you faithful in your tithe? Are you a faithful Christian? Are you faithful to yourself? Are you faithful to God.
