Greetings blessings. Welcome to my blog.
Throughout history, the Bible has taught us that fidelity is a principle and a value that is pleasing in the eyes of God. We have seen an example of men and women reviewed in the Bible as people who kept faithfulness to God in adverse circumstances as well as in stillness.
We find an example of this in the book of Acts 10.1-8. There is highlighted the reward of a man named Cornelius for his faithful prayer
Although the Bible does not constantly mention Cornelius, the writer of the book of Acts does highlight the attitude of a man who sought God and was worthy of mention.
Cornelius was a Roman centurion of Caesarea who in that community had the reputation of having a good heart. He was God fearing, and God made sure that Cornelius had the opportunity to find him. Meanwhile, God was preparing Peter to bring the message of salvation to the whole house of Cornelius!
Peter at first resisted, but God intervened by means of a vision.
Do you realize how God acts when someone is faithful and seeks him with all his heart?
When you are faithful to God and act for the truth, blessings you do not persecute her, then she will persecute you. And when God blesses, no one can serve as an obstacle in the purpose and blessing of God. God himself brings the means and grants the tools necessary for his word to be fulfilled.
And that word will not only be fulfilled in the person but will also reach all his house.
Certainly God is eternally faithful and wonderful!
When we pray to God frequently, and live to please Him, . He brings situations and people to our lives that will be a great blessing. He will make things work for our greatest good. God always rewards those who faithfully seek him.
We also find another fact in the book of Genesis 39: 2, 21). In this story we are told the prayer of the here and now of Joseph We do not know the details of Joseph's prayer life, but we do know that he walked faithfully with God, since this passage indicates that the Lord was with the.
We can look back at situations in life that have favored us and point out God was there for one at that moment!And we could even say: God always remains faithful even if we are unfaithful! That is a great truth but the case here is that God honors the fidelity of a man or a woman who seeks him with all his heart and walks in the truth.
God is in the here and now, and he is always attentive to hear those who are faithful to his word and keep it. God is always current, always in the here and now.
The circumstances of Joseph's life were appalling. His life suffered devastating setbacks, God allowed it with a purpose, but God was with him at all times and blessed him with eternal and powerful blessings, because Joseph was faithful, he lived a legal life before God and men.
God places great value on faithfulness, because it is the key to blessings in all areas of life.
Joseph is a biblical example of personal fidelity. He had the right connection with God and all who were with him were blessed, even in bondage (Genesis 39.2-6).
For his faithfulness to God the Bible tells us: But Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man in everything
Joseph was faithful to a vision. His life proves that visions separate people from sin. He believed in what God had shown him, remained constantly faithful and loyal to everyone with whom he was related, especially to God, and at all times handled the truth as a virtue along with the faithfulness of God.
Cornelius a Roman centurion prayed faithfully to God because like Joseph he believed with all his heart in Jehovah and was faithful to his vision.
The fidelity that God honors and demands of us is to faithfully keep his word in total submission to his will.
Jesus gave his life to be the owner of ours and that implies total fidelity to God.
