A Word for 2017

Faithfulness

By now we have all read or at least seen many prophetic words surrounding the New Year.  

I too have a word: Faithfulness.

How about focusing on faithfulness. 

Be faithful to the general will of God. 

Be faithful to the specific will of God for you.

Abraham, Moses, Daniel, and Jesus, the Bible says, were all faithful. Each of them in different circumstances, but the same faithful character. 

Faithfulness is not perfection. None of us are perfect, but we can all be faithful. 

Faithfulness is not dependent upon our situation, circumstances, wealth, maturity, or anything else except us—our choice to be faithful to God and people.

If you're a stay-at-home mom, be the best mom ever. Train your kids to love God and love people. Pray as you fold clothes and make meals.

If you're a leader, serve the people with grace and humility. Devote yourself to it. In your heart. Not just in action. Pray for those who God has put in your care. Some of you need to realign yourself in your heart. Why are you doing what you are doing? 

If a you're businessman or woman, serve your employer no matter who is watching. Be honest. Work hard. 

If you are a teacher, prayerfully study the Word to get a message from God. Present it the way He wants you to—with anointing. A message that will excite people to study and go after the Word themselves. 

In whatever gifts God has given to you, wait on your ministry and pray about your call.

As a Christian be faithful wherever you are in life and to whoever you serve. 

Even if it's a cup of water in the Name of the Lord.

Faithfulness is something we can all do.

Finally, be faithful to pursue Him.

His Presence

His Face

Whoever you are love His Presence. 

Love His interaction with you moment by moment, day by day, year by year. 

Faithfulness.
