The Principle of Faithfulness (Integrity)

Proverbs 20:7 NKJV

The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.

1 Corinthians 4:2 NKJV

Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

Faithfulness is a measure of integrity.

Integrity is a measure of righteousness.

The Trap of Unfaithfulness (Lust)

Proverbs 11:6 NKJV

The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

The Impact of Unfaithfulness (Untrustworthy)

Proverbs 25:19 NKJV

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint,

The Curse of Unfaithfulness (Poverty)

Ezekiel 14:13 NKJV

“Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.

The Test of Faithfulness (Little Things)

Faithfulness is tested in the little things.

Luke 16:10–12 NKJV

He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?

It is better to be faithful with less than to be unfaithful with more.

It is better to be faithful with a prior commitment than to break commitments to chase new opportunities.

The Reward of Faithfulness (Promotion & Joy)

Matthew 25:21 NKJV

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
