THE MISSIONARY'S HOMECOMING

They sailed back home from Africa at last;
Their strength was gone, their bodies marked by years.
No pension waited, health and hope were weak;
They felt afraid, discouraged, brought to tears.

On that great ship a thrill ran through the crowd;
Teddy Roosevelt, the President, was aboard!
Returning from his hunting expedition,
With reporters hanging on his every word.

The missionary spoke with heavy heart:
“This isn’t right, it surely isn’t fair.
We gave the Lord our years, our strength, our life,
And no one knows our names, or even cares.”

“While he comes home to fanfare and applause;
Look at the dock – large crowds beyond compare!
But us, when we step off this boat,
We’ll be alone, the whole world unaware.”

His wife responded softly with great love,
“Go tell the Lord what you have just told me.”
He went to pray, and soon came back transformed,
His face aglow, his heart felt light and free.

“What happened?” asked his wife in silent joy,
“What word has eased your bitterness and grief?”
He said, “I poured my heart out to the Lord,
But then He gave me peace and sweet relief.”

“I told the Lord how bitter I had grown,
How tired I was, and all of my regret.
The Lord responded gently, ‘Oh my child,
Can you not understand? You’re not home yet!’”

God loves the faithful ones who do His will,
Though life may cause them all to wonder why.
“You’re not home yet,” His gentle voice declares,
“Your welcome waits beyond the starry sky.”

Just a little thought to provoke us to do better!

Faithful followers of Jesus Christ don’t just attend—they serve. They give, go, encourage, and labor for the sake of the gospel. They don’t just talk faith—they walk it, even when it costs something.

1. Consistent Devotion to the Word and Prayer

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
— Acts 2:42 (KJV)

Faithful believers are rooted in Scripture and dependent on prayer. They don’t just attend church—they walk with Christ daily, seeking His voice through His Word and staying in communion with Him.

⸻

2. Active Participation in the Body

“But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.”
— 1 Corinthians 12:18 (KJV)

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…”
— Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)

True faithfulness shows up in presence and participation. The faithful don’t treat church like an option—they understand it’s their spiritual family and God-assigned place of service.

⸻

3. Christlike Character and Fruitfulness

“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
— Matthew 7:20 (KJV)

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”
— Galatians 5:22–23 (KJV)

Faithful believers bear the fruit of the Spirit and exhibit Christlike humility, love, and integrity—not just in church, but in daily life. Their walk matches their worship.

⸻

4. Submission to Spiritual Authority and Unity

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls…”
— Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)

“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
— Ephesians 4:3 (KJV)

Faithfulness includes a willing spirit, not a rebellious one. The faithful don’t stir strife—they honor leadership, pursue peace, and serve with humility.

⸻

5. A Life Marked by Sacrifice and Service

“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister…”
— Mark 10:45 (KJV)

“Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…”
— 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV)

The Daily Yes

Consistency doesn’t always look loud—sometimes it’s just showing up when no one’s watching.
It’s praying when you don’t feel like it.
It’s doing the right thing again… and again.

Growth isn’t in the big moments—it’s in the daily yes.
