A sure house

A sure house.

"And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever."

1 Samuel 2:35

Our opening scripture shows us that a faithful man is one who always does what is in God's heart and mind. For such a man, God declares that He will build him a sure house. This means that his family, children and his generation will be taken care of by the Lord.

When you are a faithful man, you do not need to be worried about your children and what they will become. They have become God's responsibility and He will see to it that they excel. He will protect them and preserve them because they are your children.

Look at the life of faithful Abraham, God built him a sure house. What about faithful David, God built him a sure house. God spoke to Isaac in Genesis 26:24, "I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake." Concerning David, God Himself said in Jeremiah 33:20-21, "Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; …"

These men were faithful and their lives attracted such great blessings that benefitted them and their generations till this day. I wonder what your faithfulness would do for you and your generations. Faithfulness gives permanent blessings. Do not trade it. Be faithful no matter the cost.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you because I am strengthened with might according to the riches of your glory by your spirit in my inner man to remain faithful in doing those things that please you in Jesus Name. Amen.
