Audio Version
Matthew 25:21 -“His lord said unto him, well done thou faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Faithfulness is a key principle in the Kingdom of God. Many desire to be entrusted with greater responsibilities, yet they neglect to be diligent in the little they have been given. As a child of God, you must understand that God values faithfulness in both small and great matters. In our opening scripture, Jesus commended the servant who had been faithful with little, rewarding him with much more. This reveals that promotion in God’s kingdom is tied to stewardship and consistency.
Faithfulness entails serving with a heart of integrity, diligence, and commitment. Whether in ministry, your career, or personal life, being faithful in small tasks prepares you for greater opportunities. God is watching how you handle the little before entrusting you with more. Even when no one acknowledges your efforts, remember that God sees and rewards faithfulness.
Today, choose to be a faithful servant in all that you do. Do not despise small beginnings or grow weary in doing good. Serve with excellence, knowing that God is your ultimate rewarder (Col 3:23-24, Luke 16:10). In due season, He will elevate you and entrust you with greater things.
START-UP PRAYER

PRAYER FOR A NATION
COLUMBIA
Roman Catholicism has long been a part of Colombian culture, and more than ninety percent of Colombians identify themselves as Catholic, though far fewer are practicing. Since the 1991 constitution, other denominations have been given religious freedom, and the evangelical church has grown significantly. The extremist paramilitary groups view this growth as a threat, and many have reacted with violence against the evangelical leadership.
PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Father, we pray against threats of violence and oppression against Christian denominations in Columbia, let the perpetrators be exposed and judged in Jesus Name.
PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS
Father, we pray against cultural extremism among the leaders, that political appointments in this land may be void of bias and sentiments in Jesus name.
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for a rise in evangelical outreaches in Israel, that the knowledge of Yeshua will grow mightily and prevail, in Jesus Name.
PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH
Father, we pray against the spirit of anti-Christ creeping into the hearts of believers in our churches. Cause the light of Your Word to shine in their hearts that every thought of darkness may be dismantled, in Jesus name.
PRAYER FOR SOULS / REVIVAL
Father, we ask that You draw the hearts of the unsaved to the Light of the Word. Cause an unexplainable hunger for the truth to rest on them, leading them straight into Your arms, in Jesus Name.
