He Who Promised Is Faithful

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
                                                            Hebrews 10:23-25
               The writer of Hebrews is telling us here to hold fast to our hope that we have, the hope that Jesus Christ has given us. The hope of eternal life with Him and an inheritance like no other. For God has promised that to us and He always follows through with His promises and is continually faithful. Even when we are faithless, He remains faithful. He may not fulfill His promise in the way we expect Him to or want Him to, but He will none the less fulfill it to the utmost. And as we hold onto that hope we must consider how to encourage those around us, not encouraging them in works of evil, but in love and good works. Stirring up one another to draw closer to the Lord and seek after what He wants. God has given us fellowship so that we might be encouraged and encourage others in relation with Jesus Christ and His works. Without fellowship we will have no one to encourage us and spur us on towards Christ, which is why as Christians we must be involved with the local fellowship of believers. It is very difficult to grow in the Lord when you are all by yourself. Continuing to meet together as the body of Christ and fulfilling our duty as Christians, encouraging our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Application- seek to please the Lord in the way I encourage my team in Kenya.
