FAITHFULNESS OR KNOWLEDGE?

10/3/2022

​Welcome back to the Discipleship blog series. If you have not read the previous posts, you can find them here.

Last time we learned about the BLESS prayer pattern which gives a framework of five things about which to pray for a person.

This week we will learn that faithfulness is a much better measure of spiritual maturity than knowledge and teaching. There are two ideas that have caused a number of problems in the church today.

The first is that a person’s spiritual maturity is connected to how much they know about God’s Word. They act as if RIGHT BELIEF – or orthodoxy – is a good measure of someone’s faith.

The second is the idea that a person’s ability to lead requires a “full training” before they begin in ministry. They act as if COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE is a good measure of someone’s ability to lead.

The problem with the first idea – relying on orthodoxy – or right belief is that Satan himself knows more Scripture than any human. God’s Word says, “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! (James 2:19).

A better measure of someone’s spiritual maturity is ORTHOPRAXY – “right practice”.

We ought to be more concerned with FAITHFULNESS in OBEYING and SHARING than measuring maturity based only on what we know.

The problem with the second idea – that a person must be fully trained before they lead is that no one is ever really fully trained.

Jesus modelled sending out young leaders who still had many things to learn to do some of the most important work in the Kingdom.

God’s Word says, “And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.” Then he sent them to tell about God’s kingdom and to heal the sick.

These men were sent before Peter stated his belief that Jesus was Saviour – something we would consider a first step of faith. And even after being sent Jesus had to rebuke Peter multiple times for mistakes and Peter would still later deny Jesus completely. Other followers argued over who was the greatest and what role each would play in God’s future Kingdom.

They all still had a lot to learn but Jesus put them to work sharing what they already knew. Faithfulness – more than knowledge – is something that can start as soon as someone begins to follow Jesus.

​Faithfulness – more than training – is something that can be measured by what we do with what we have been given. (Matthew 25:14-30)

If we OBEY and SHARE what we hear and learn with others, we are faithful.
​If we hear but REFUSE to obey and share, we are unfaithful.
As we multiply disciples, let’s make sure we’re measuring the right things.

Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top

I am from the USA. I live in Wallins Creek, Kentucky. I have just experienced the wonders of Doctor Odunga love spell that have been spread on the internet and worldwide, How he marvelously helped people all over the world to restore their marriage life and get back lost lovers, and also help to win the lottery. I contacted him after going through so many testimonies from different people about how he helped to bring his ex lover back, i told him about my husband that abandoned me about 8 months ago, and left home with all I had.. Dr Odunga only told me to smile and have a rest of mind. He will handle it all in just 24 hours, After the second day my husband called me, i was just so shocked, i picked the call and couldn't believe my ears, he was really begging me to forgive him and making promises on the phone.. He came back home and also got me a new car just for him to prove his love for me. I was so happy and called Dr Odunga and thanked him, he only told me to share the good news all over the world.

Don’t ask me how it happened, but one fateful day, I made the rookie mistake of mistaking my crypto wallet app for a game on my phone. I know, I know it sounds ridiculous, but in my infinite wisdom (or perhaps due to a caffeine-induced haze), I clicked around, convinced I was “unlocking achievements” and leveling up my digital life. What I really unlocked was my $350,000 Bitcoin wallet—right out of my reach. Talk about a plot twist I never saw coming! As the realization of my blunder sank in, panic set in. My heart raced faster than a toddler who’s just spotted a cookie jar. “What have I done?” I muttered to myself, my mind racing through all the worst-case scenarios. I frantically tapped on my phone, but my wallet was still locked tight, as if it had thrown a digital tantrum. With a sinking feeling in my stomach, I knew I had to act fast. I picked up the phone and called Cyber Tech Wizard , my last hope in this absurd situation. I half-expected them to burst into laughter at my ludicrous story. But to their credit, they didn’t laugh (at least not out loud). Instead, they approached my case with a calm professionalism that instantly put me at ease. “Don’t worry,” they assured me, “we’ve seen stranger things. "Their team dove into action, using their advanced forensic tools to unravel the mess I had created. It was like watching a magic show, only instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they were extracting my funds from the depths of my blundering mistakes. In no time, they worked their magic and restored my access to my $350,000 Bitcoin wallet. I could hardly believe it! Once I regained access, I felt like I’d been handed a golden ticket to a treasure hunt. I couldn’t thank Cyber Tech Wizard enough for their expertise and patience in dealing with my ridiculous mix-up. As a precautionary measure, I promptly deleted all the games from my phone. I realized that my wallet deserves better than to be confused with a candy crush or a farming simulator. So, if you ever find yourself in a similarly absurd predicament, I highly recommend Cyber Tech Wizard . They turned my digital disaster into a success story, and I’m forever grateful to them for saving my sanity and my funds!

TTENTION PLEASE!!! Am so glad to be expressing my profound gratitude to a man that is so concerned about other people’s well being. I was suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE II) The doctors keep telling me that there is no cure but i believe that there is a cure somewhere and they don’t want people to get cured. I tried searching online if I could see anything that will help me and a comment on online on how Dr lucky help to cure herpes with herbs and i also saw so many comments about him on many web pages on how he had helped and cured so many people suffering from HERPES 1$2, HPV, CANCER, HIV/AIDS, COLD SORE etc. So I contacted him through his email and I shared my problems with him and he sent me the herbs through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it. It took me two weeks to finish the herbs and after I finished using it, he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now I am HERPES VIRUS free. I just want to use this platform to thank Dr lucky for curing me from that horrible disease and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world at large, please you can as well contact Dr lucky on his email below. Name: Dr lucky Email: [email protected] PHONE/WHATS APP : +(2348155879711} Dr lucky herbs is the perfect remedy for Herpes1&2, HPV, HIV and other diseases. Reply

I cannot identify myself as an "HIV Survivor" because I'm not surviving. I have conquered the battle of HIV with natural alternatives. I have broken down the walls of stigma, I have fought against discrimination, I have risen above rejections and criticisms. It has been 12 years of Victory, under the supervision of Doctor Muna Remedies. If I can find cure, comfort and healing with Doctor Muna's natural herbal products, anyone with chronic disease or viral infections can get cure too.
