LIVING A FAITHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY LIFE

Overview

SCRIPTURE: And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat.  – Genesis 39:6

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you cannot be trusted, you cannot be entrusted

 

From our anchor scripture, we can see a virtue in the life of Joseph which is worthy of emulation by every child of God. It is called faithfulness. Potiphar left everything in Joseph's care and nothing was lost.

 

God's intention for our lives is to bring us to the point of reliability where people's hearts will be at rest because we are in charge. As a child of God, the heart of your boss should be at rest because you are the one to oversee things in your organization.

When you are entrusted with a financial responsibility, let there be no story of anything missing. If you cannot be trusted, you cannot be entrusted. Do not let a question mark hang around you when you are given money to execute an assignment. The attitude of unfaithfulness has denied many people the possibility and potential of rising to the top positions in life.    

 

Faithfulness is the secret of the blessing. In Proverbs 28:20, the Bible says, “A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.”

 

Beloved, make up your mind to be trustworthy.

 

Remember this: If you cannot be trusted, you cannot be entrusted.

 

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Make up your mind to live a faithful life

2. Repent from every act of crookedness and double-dealings in your life

 

PRAYER: O LORD, help me to be faithful, trustworthy and dependable like Joseph. Purify me LORD from every form of crookedness, in Jesus’ Name.
