[The Glory Unveiled
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ [ Matthew 25:23 NKJV ]
Whether we enter into the joy of the Lord on the day of accountability will largely be determined by how we lived before Him. In the parable of the talents, all three servants had one thing in common: they all called their master “Lord.” Their confession was the same, but their condition was not. One servant lacked what separated the others unto approval—faithfulness. The master did not call him unfortunate or untalented. He called him “wicked and lazy.” But the others were described as faithful servants. This reveals something important: the antidote to laziness is faithfulness. Faithfulness is not merely activity; it is a committed pursuit to please the Lord and bring Him joy. The faithful servants valued what was entrusted to them. They laboured with their master’s interest at heart. Their reward was not merely increase or authority—it was an invitation: “Enter into the joy of your Lord.” The joy came after the faithfulness. True faithfulness is first proven in little things. Heaven measures stewardship before it grants authority. When we are faithful with what appears small, insignificant, or unnoticed, we demonstrate that we can be trusted with greater responsibilities. That is why the Lord said, “You were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.” Many desire influence, authority, and prominence, yet neglect faithfulness. But in the kingdom of God, rulership is never the pursuit; faithfulness is. Authority is the reward given to those who have proven trustworthy with what God placed in their hands. We must therefore stop chasing “many things” while being careless with “few things.” God entrusts greater things only to servants who honour Him in the little things.
