In India, a government pensioner has to appear before a designated office once every year to prove his or her existence in order to continue receiving the pension. Sadly, some Christians treat their walk with God in a similar way. They appear in church only once a year—on Christmas Day.

Such people are Christians in name only. Nothing about their lifestyle reflects the life Jesus came to give us (ref. John 10:10). By choosing the world, they alienate themselves from the grace of God, and in doing so, they only make their lives miserable. Refuse to live that way.

The Christian life is a life of fellowship with the Father. Being in church and worshipping the Lord is an integral part of that fellowship. No wonder the Bible instructs us in Hebrews 10:25: “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.” Therefore, don’t be a Christmas Day Christian. Be a faithful child of God who never forsakes the gathering of the saints in the house of God throughout the year.

Prayer:

Dear Father, thank You for the gift of fellowship You have given me through Jesus Christ. I value and honour every opportunity to gather in Your house and worship You. My heart is fully committed to Your will, and my life is devoted to serving You with joy and faithfulness. I walk in love, obedience, and consistency all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Your faithfulness towards God’s voice decides the course of your life. Your faithfulness to His voice is able to alter your destiny and through you the destiny of others as well. God is gracious and not forceful, however His calling is without reproach (Ref. Romans 11:29).

Let’s see the example of Jonah. Jonah was commanded by God to go to Nineveh. But, Jonah didn’t want to go there and went against God’s voice. As a consequence he was caught up in the belly of the great fish, upon Jonah’s repentance, God’s voice came to the fish and it vomited Jonah at the very shore of Nineveh. Jonah 2:10 says; “ And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.” Notice the Bible says, God spoke to the fish. His voice is obeyed by all creation. Finally, when Jonah walked in faithfulness, the city of Nineveh was saved from destruction.

Are you faithful to His voice? Can God count on you to save the world? Do you respond to His voice with zeal and fervour? These are certain questions you need to ask yourself.

Remember your faithfulness is not only demanded by God but it’s a necessity for your own glorious life.

Prayer:
Precious Father, I’m thankful for your Word that corrects me and makes me great. I’m forever faithful to your voice and command. I give myself wholly to you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
