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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
