Few years ago, my church drama group acted a story about a building
engineer that was a friend to a wealthy man. They have been friends since
primary school days. One day the wealthy man requested that his building
engineer friend should be awarded a contract to build him a four bedroom
duplex.
The building engineer was happy and saw it as an opportunity to make
money, so he constructed the building with cheap and inferior materials to
maximize his gain. Within him, any terrible storm would affect the building. As
a cover up, he gave the building rich painting. On the day of handing over the
house to his wealthy friend, he was dazed and almost died he told him, “I am
giving you this house as a gift for been a faithful friend.”
Luke 16: 10-12 says “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. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who
will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in
that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?”
The reason why some people have not progressed to the next level is
because they are not even faithful in their current level. As a believer; in
your current office/position, are you faithful with that which is committed
into your hands? Can you be trusted? Are you reliable?
Do you return phone calls? Is your yes truly yes? If you promise you
will be somewhere by 10am, do you call if you are going to be late? Do you
habitually forget to follow up? Does your word hold waters before your clients?
Many are in the career path, but few are on the character path. On the
Day of Judgment, your career would not speak for you, your character would. Our
get it now age has so much affected us that we want more without doing the
little. We want the gain without the grind, the sweets without the sweat, and
the prize without the pain.
If you want more, then do the little faithfully and you do that, God
will reward you with much more in Jesus Name. Amen!
