1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

Reality Check: Thoughts and actions have consequences… you are exactly where you have chosen to be over the last year. You can deny your responsibility and become the victim or take responsibility and become the victor. If you want to be in a better place in life one year from now, you must make better choices, think better thoughts and live better actions.

Trustworthy, Loyal, consistent, steadfast, dependable. A “faithful” person is someone you can put your “Full Faith” in and absolutely depend upon. Synonyms include: True, devoted, unswerving, dedicated, constant.

In finances… commit to spend less than you make. Only a fool spends everything he makes (Proverbs 21:20)… (So start saving). Unfaithful can destroy you in one spending binge. Being Faithful Financially can bring you into 2015 better financially than ever.

Commit to (re) reading “The Money Map” and being a wise steward in The widows mite (two pennies) at just 2.75% simple interest compounded annually would be worth in today’s dollars $3.7 sextillion. Million, Billion, Trillion, Quadrillion, Sextillion.

Faithfulness brings confidence, growth, peace and joy. If you are married be faithful to your partner… Trustworthy, Loyal, consistent, steadfast, dependable, true, devoted, unswerving, dedicated, constant and sexually faithful. If single be committed to no sex before marriage, keeping yourself pure.

Promotion and blessing come from the Lord- Psalm 75:6-7 In 2014 do ALL THINGS for Christ… be the best you can be. Colossians 3:17.

Faithfulness to a healthy lifestyle brings physical wellness, positive emotions, strength, stamina and more. Be committed to a healthy lifestyle in (Consider The Daniel Plan)

Hebrews 11:6… But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Are you ready to be rewarded?

22 Through the L ORD ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

“11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,” “11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,”

11 This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him,We shall also live with Him.12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

“Servants” of God from the Greek ὑ πηρέτης (hypērétēs) Literally “under rower” serving aboard ship. Classical Greek referred to servants of Zeus. Carries the essence of “serving a higher purpose.”

“Servants” of God from the Greek ὑ πηρέτης (hypērétēs) hypērétēs differs from a doúlos in that the hyperetes is FREE and NOT BOND and therefore receives due rewards for his/her work.

“Servants” of God ὑ πηρέτης (hypērétēs) Distinct from diákonos or therápōn, hypērétēs carries the emphasis of learning what is to be done from the superior, and doing it with no prejudice to personal dignity or worth. Taking directions right from God and His Word. Doing what God wants no matter what the personal cost- completely faithful.
