HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY


Text:  2King 12:15

No accounting of this money was required from the construction supervisors, because they were *honest* and *trustworthy men*_(NLT) 

king Jehoash of Israel called for Jehoiada the Priest, and the other Priests to repair the temple. As a result, money was committed into the hands of *Honest and Trustworthy men* for this project. The most intriguing thing was that no accounting of this money was required from the construction supervisors. 

There was no need for accountability simply because of the honesty and TRUSTWORTHINESS of these supervisors. The word of God deliberately recorded this for our learning. Today, I often hear Christians saying they are more comfortable doing business with unbelievers than fellow brethren in the church. This simply shows that something is wrong with us (Believers).

Today, we must seek and search for this lost virtue(Honesty and Trustworthiness) amongst believer. 

Unlike  Academic parlance where 90% is a great score. 90% in honesty is a  very poor score. Reason being that the outstanding 10% is the little leaven that leaventh the whole lump.Galatian 5:9. 10% dishonesty would  destroy the whole lot of 90% faithfulness. 

To be trustworthy and honest, we must:

 *1. Do ALL things as unto the Lord* And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;Colossians 3:23 

 *2. Know that God KNOWS  and SEES ALL  secretes* Rom 2:16, Hebrew 4:13

 *3. Know that God rewards our Honesty and  Trustworthiness* Rev. 22:12

Bible reading: 2King 12:1-15.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
