MFM Mountain Top Life Devotional 19th March 2021, Friday Message By Dr. D.K Olukoya
Topic: Power of Faithfulness
Fire Scripture
Luke 16: 1- 12
Memory Verse
Luke: 16:10 – He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Outline
Faithfulness is being reliable, loyal, dependable, trustworthy, passionate and committed. Faithfulness to God is when our total loyalty is to Him, come what may. Joseph demonstrated faithfulness when he was seduced by Potiphar’s wife. God is faithful even when we are not, and his faithfulness never ends (Lamentations 3:22-23).
God instructs us to be faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2, 10). He wants us to be loyal to Him until He calls us home. The story of the wasteful steward in the text above reveals to you and me the power of faithfulness. Faithfulness makes a man to be accountable to God and man. A faithful man is an asset to God and the organisation he represents. Faithfulness makes a man to be humble. He will be strong and flourish even at old age.
Faithfulness turns little into big. Luke 19:7 affirms that there is reward for faithfulness. A faithful child of God will enjoy worldly riches and also reign with God in eternity (Matthew 24:13). A faithful servant can be trusted. There is no partial faithfulness; you are either faithful or you are unjust. If a Christian is not faithful to God, his or her faithfulness is to mammon.
Beloved, the greatest thing that can be said about you at the end of age is: “Great and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.” Are you faithful to the Lord and to your church? Do you serve God for what you get rather than for His glory to be revealed? Repent today, change your ways and see the faithfulness of God becoming manifest in your life.
God’s faithfulness towards us gives us an example of how we should be faithful in our relationships. He wants us to be faithful towards Him, His calling, promises and message (Luke 2:1-20). He also wants us to be faithful to our spouses, leaders and bosses in church and at work. Being faithful shows that you have made becoming like Christ your goal and that always pleases God.
If you are yet to surrender your life to Christ, you lack the power to be faithful. Even if you use your will power, all your righteousness is like filthy rag. It takes a heart genuinely surrendered to God to be faithful. Repent now and become God’s faithful servant. God bless you richly.
Motivational Quote
Faithfulness will put a man in the class of God. Be dependable!
Prophetic Word
Let the power that helps a man to walk faithful with God to the end overwhelm you, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN – Glory to God, Hellelujah
1. We are never, never weary of the grand old song;
Glory to God, Hallelujah!
We can sing it loud as ever with our faith more strong;
Glory to God, Hallelujah!
Chorus
O the children of the Lord
have a right to shout and sing!
For the way is growing bright,
and our souls are on the wing;
We are going by and bye to the palace of a King;
Glorry to God Halelujah!
2. We are lost amid the rapture of redeeming love;
Glory to God, Hallelujah!
We are rising on its pinons to the hills above;
Glory to God, Hallelujah!

Glory to God, Hallelujah!
Where the King in all His splendour we shall soon behold;
Glory to God, Hallelujah!
