TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP
Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”
Bible Reading: Gen. 39:7-10
“7 And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” 8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. 9 There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” 10 So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.”
THROUGH FAITHFULNESS TO GOD
One of the most scacres virtue in Christiandom is Faithfulness. Faithfulness to the man you can see is what defines your faithfulness to God (whom you cannot see). When it comes to money issues, faithfulness is very rare amongst all. When we talk about extramarital affair, It’s no more a sin to many. Even some ministers of the gospel indulge in extramarital affairs. Faithfulness to your superiors in Christianity and work place, In marriage and in families, it has become a forgoten issue.
Joseph’s faithfulness to God and his master was a prove of great virtue in him. He took the right step when needed, though it landed him in the prison but it later earned him the throne. How many christians can be so faithful in such situation?
Mary, the mother of Jesus, her faithfulness was what brought Jesus to this world. She kept her virginity intact. For four hundred years, between Malachi and Matthew, a faithful and virgin lady wasn’t found until Mary’s faithfulness came to place. Joseph, her husband to be, was also a faithful man,
He harkened to the voice of God to accept Mary and he took the right step by not touching her for good nine months.
Can your faithfulness be tested? We’ve been praying, fasting, keeping night prayers, asking and putting our hands to work but faithfulness is lacking.
Luke 16:10, He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.”
Father, help my unfaithfulness. Give me the grace to take the right step of faithfulness in all you’ve handed over to me, In Jesus Mighty Name have I prayed, Amen.
