MESSAGE OF FAITH
Good and
faithful
servant
It is not enough to be good, nor is it
enough to be faithful; we must be good
and faithful.
A good servant is skilled at what he
does; he uses his resources and talents
to do everything very well done. With
his resources and talents he is able to do
an “excellent job”. The problem is that,
unfortunately, many “good servants” are
unfaithful to their calling.
Unfaithfulness happens when he ceases
to serve because of the passion to win
souls and starts to expect recognition,
praise and personal promotions. Also,
because he desires to be accepted by his
listeners, he will not tell them the whole
truth they need to hear.
A faithful servant has a good character
and obeys every order given by their
Lord, but he usually delays and has
difficulties. Since he has not developed
his skills as a servant, he does not know
how to use the resources he has. So it
takes him longer to discover and multiply
the talents his Lord placed in his hands.
However, a good and faithful servant is
someone who has skills and character,
speaks the truth that his listeners need
to hear and multiplies. He uses the
resources he has and searches for more
in order to do a good job. Each day, he
discovers more talents and multiplies
them. He lives in spirit and invests all
of his potential to be and make the
best of everything for his Lord, without
expecting anything in return.
Let’s be good. Let’s use all our skills,
resources, talents and potential for the
sake of our Lord.
Let’s be faithful. Let’s preserve our
character as real men and women of
God, walk in the Spirit and work without
waiting to be recognized, praised or
promoted.
May the passion for saving and serving
be enough to motivate us every day!
