"The Key to Maximum Achievement"

FAITHFULNESS

"Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."

Revelation 2:10

Faithfulness is the key to maximum achievement in the kingdom of God.  The key to your future promotion is your current faithfulness.  Faithfulness is what God is looking for.  Faithfulness is what God is waiting for...FROM YOU! 

Success according to God

is not determined by

'percieved fruitfulness,'

but 'persistent faithfulness.'

The apostle Paul was considered worthy of ministry because of his FAITHFULNESS!  "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service" (1 Timothy 1:12).

David was given the privilege to fight and defeat Goliath because of his prior faithfulness in defeating a lion and a bear.

" He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much;

and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. 

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth,

who will entrust the true riches to you?"
Luke 16:10-11

Joseph became a "successful" man despite being sold into slavery!  Why?  FAITHFULNESS!  And his success continued while in prison!  Why?  FAITHFULNESS!  And ultimately, Joseph was given a position of supreme authority to rule others.  Why?  That's right...FAITHFULNESS!

"Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things,

I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master."

Matthew 25:21, 23, see also Luke 19:17

"Are you seeking great things for yourself?  Do not seek them." (Jeremiah 45:5).  You need only concern yourself with being faithful in the place that God has placed you today.  Faithfulness today will assure God's best for you tomorrow.  "No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly" (Psalm 84:11).
