Faithfulness is defined as, a being true to one’s word, promises, vows, etc. Someone that is steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant, reliable, trusted and committed.
It was imperative that I provide an elaborate understanding of the word faithful in an attempt to highlight the understanding of the following spiritual law:
“A “FAITHFUL” man shall abound with blessings”, Proverbs 28:20. In this profound passage of scripture it is revealed that a person who is committed and stands true to not only his word but to the promises and allegiance he has made to others will abound or exist in great quantities of blessings.
This passage of scripture is very much encouraging simply because it doesn’t matter what negativity is being projected or hurled towards the one that is being faithful, but the true reward of their faithfulness can never ever be withheld or dismissed by anyone simply because God is the one that provides the blessings at the end of that particular tenure of faithfulness. I have personally witnessed case after case of folks that were taken advantage of, ridicule, placed at the back of the line and even spoken evil of in spite of their faithfulness. Nevertheless, time will always prove and reveal this scripture to be true.
You see my friend, faithfulness to the word of God will always place a demand on you the faithful one being blessed in the end. In fact, this scripture clearly says that your blessings won’t be your average blessings but instead you will over flow in the blessings (abound).
I honestly do not know who this post is for today but I was inspired to post it specifically for that person who feels as if it’s a waste of time doing the right thing or being faithful to someone or something, because it appears as if faithfulness just doesn’t pay off. Make no mistake, the devil and his agents understands in detail what your faithfulness will pan out once the time has expired on whatever it is that you’re going through. They are fully aware that only you can divert and dismiss your bountiful blessings that’s ahead of you if you cave into their temporal comforts of being unfaithful!
God is observing and supervising your matter and the day is quickly approaching where all parties involved in your matter will be rewarded, some to blessings as a result of their contribution, while others to a reward of disgrace and reaping of the evil they have sown.
I say it all the time, and that is absolutely nothing last forever, everything has a beginning date and an expiration date. The good thing is God knows the end from the beginning. Be encourage my friend for this to will pass with an end result of you being rewarded for your FAITHFULNESS!!!!!

Thanks for such encouraging words Minister Ewing & Metty by virtue of sharing with us today. I really needed to hear this because sometimes despite how committed and faithful one is, (whether it be work, relationship, family life et. al) it would appear as if its the disloyal and non-committed ones who are being prosperous and rewarded, but I refuse to give up hope I will continue to keep the faith and being faithful.
Good Evening Metty & JMG family. We serve a faithful God, and like ONEDROP said, despite the struggles I too will continue to be faithful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
This post is definitely for me!!!
2 Timothy 2:13Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself.
Hebrews 12:2Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
The same way we have received Christ, we MUST also walk in Him<<BY FAITH!!!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings!!
