Faithfulness Pays!

Faithfulness isn’t just about you doing right by others—it benefits you, too! And not just a little bit.

Second Chronicles 16:9 says God is searching all the time for people He can trust who will follow through when He gives them an assignment. He’s looking for faithful men and women who will get the job done at any cost, regardless of inconvenience or discomfort. God can show Himself strong through those people because they can be trusted to do what’s right. He can entrust them with power and riches. And He can continually increase them because they can always be counted on to be faithful to do with His resources what He tells them to do.

And the benefits don’t stop there. When we’re faithful with people, we also have a great advantage. We will be favored and promoted. Faithfulness will cause your life to work and make you a success—spiritually and naturally. It will increase your income and influence. Faithfulness pays!

One of the great examples of this is found in the life of Joseph. No matter what happened to him (slavery, prison) he was diligent and faithful. That faithfulness gave him promotion after promotion and increase upon increase—even in the most impossible situations. Eventually, he was promoted as the second most powerful man in Egypt!

The powerful force of faithfulness will promote you, too. Set out to become a faithful person—someone others, and especially God, can count on. Then watch God open supernatural doors for you that could never be opened without Him!
