1St Cor.4:2 " Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found Faithful."
Faithful - Steadfast, Loyal, & Reliable
Unfortunately these qualities are harder to find in people today than they use to be. While on the job we might not be the best, fastest, or the most accurate employee, however, if we are there everyday and the boss knows they can depend on you, that means a lot. It doesn't matter how good of a worker we are if our employer is always wondering if he/she is going to be there that day or not.
Faithfulness is very important to the Body of Christ. If we can be faithful to the House of God,even though we may face different types of adversities,that speaks volumes in God's Kingdom. Faithfulness to the church you call home is an important & needed quality.
That's why I would like to Thank Bro. Marcellus Lowery for being faithful to The Upper Room Ministry. Bro Marcellus has to go to dialysis 3 x a week, Mon. Wed.& Friday. It's very seldom that he's not at church when the doors are open. I know there have been times he didn't feel well, but he came on anyhow, There have been times he just felt like staying in bed, but he came on anyhow. He has the mindset "I'm going on anyhow." Sometimes sickness does hit & it's better to stay home & not spread it around. When these times happen to someone who is normally there, 1. They call their pastor or one of the other church leaders and 2. Other church members usually can say. " They must really be sick or something's wrong or they would be here."
Marcellus is a great worker & a big assest to The Upper Room Ministry, he has a willingness to do what he can for the Kingdom. We love & appreciate him so much. Thank You Brother for being an inspiration and an example for others as we continue to work for The Kingdom Of God.........
" Well," ...." It Is What It Is."
