TOPIC: Be Faithful (TREM Devotional 4 May 2026)
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20 KJV
MESSAGE
There are people in the church who, as soon as they experience some blessing, will not be seen again in the church. That is when they remember every other commitment outside the church. They think of friends, family, work, and put all before God. When I encounter people like this, I am forced to wonder at the shortness of human memory.
The same person pledging full commitment to God before the breakthrough is the same person who expects God to understand how busy he is at work and how he needs to keep company with friends to stay “relevant” in the scheme of things. How unfortunate!
The same person forgets the One who raised him from the dung and made him sit with the princes. The person forgets the commitment that brought him thus far, and that is when he remembers all kinds of things that God did not instruct him to do. “He” here is without bias to gender, it happens to both men and women.
No wonder God said clearly to me that believers are not wealthy because they are not patient enough to follow His instructions. God does not have a challenge with blessing you. He has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places.
So it is not about the blessing, it is about being faithful in the blessing. Even in the natural, you will not put money in the hands of your child who will waste it and then come back and take another one? God said, My children are not faithful!
God is looking for those whom He can bless, and they will use the blessing to promote the Kingdom agenda. The Kingdom agenda is very primary and crucial to Him. How can He bless you when you are still giving Him excuses for not bringing your tithe? How can He trust you with more? Beloved, make a decision today and ask for the grace to be faithful always.
