 Just shall live by his faithfulness
“Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. 4 “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
Habakkuk 2:4Jesus Grew in Favor & Faithfulness
The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Luke 2:40 

And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.    And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Luke 2:51-52 

Relationships, Resources, Response to God
Faithfulness  in Jesus’s mind  was about how you treat people, your relationships with people.

Desiring to be faithful, let’s pre-decide three things

• Firstly we will pre decide: that every interaction with another is an opportunity to add value, – it is then that We are faithful in our relationships.

• Secondly, Every resource is an opportunity to multiply because Jesus defines faithfulness in how we steward what he entrusts to us.

• Thirdly, that every prompting is an  opportunity to obey God.

Overcome – I am my focus

  • And the reason, that we pre-decide is because we will never embark on this mission to add value consistently, just in the natural.
  • And the reason we may not  is because we are mostly focused on ourselves.
