Good day and welcome to Life Treatment™; today we are looking at another life issue that we would be treating and we are looking at Unfaithfulness. What does it mean? Unfaithfulness is actually not being faithful. It simply means you being false to duty, being false to an obligation. It is the opposite of faithfulness. When you are unfaithful, it means you are false to a duty, you are not true to that duty, you are not true to the obligation that you have been given. Now I want to quickly read two interesting Scriptures to us, it paints a good picture of unfaithfulness and how it applies to our lives, how it applies to how we live our lives on a daily basis.
1 Chronicles 5:25; Let us see what God said here and the picture that God painted about unfaithfulness. “And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.” Did you see that? They were unfaithful to God because they were faithful to something else. And they played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land. When you are unfaithful, it means you are false to your duty and obligation. They had an obligation and a duty to God, and they were false to it, they were unfaithful to it. So that’s unfaithfulness. They were unfaithful to the God of their fathers.
So, unfaithfulness talks about you ignoring and being false to your duty and your obligation. What is that thing you are doing that shows unfaithfulness? When people see you or meet with you, do they see a faithful person or an unfaithful person? In your dealings in life, are you faithful to your duties? Are you a faithful husband? Are you a faithful wife? Because unfaithfulness means you have abandoned the primary person that you have a duty and obligation to and you have played harlotry, you have chased after something else.
When we talk about unfaithfulness, it talks about the fact that there is something else in the picture. You are unfaithful primary to something of duty and obligation and you are faithful to another. So, in what area of your life are you unfaithful? Are you a faithful wife? Are you a faithful husband? Are you a faithful son? Are you a faithful daughter? Are you a faithful employee? Are you a faithful employer? It cuts across the different strata of our societies, it cuts across different phases of our lives. Are you faithful? Are you true to your duties? Are you true to your obligations?
I want us to also see another picture of unfaithfulness in Malachi 1:7-8. God was capturing here, the picture of the unfaithfulness of people. And it says: “You offer defiled food on My altar, but say, ‘In what way have we defiled You? You offer things that are not acceptable, you are not faithful to your duty and your obligations, and you still say “in what way have we defiled you?” At least we have offered something. But what you offer is defiled “By saying, ‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’” Any time you contempt the table of the Lord, the table of your employer or employee, the table of your spouse, the table of your children, you say it is contemptable, I can treat them anyhow, I can treat them the way I like, I can treat them like trash, then you are unfaithful.
Verse 8: “And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that is not acceptable; is it not evil? So, unfaithfulness is evil. And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil? When you decide to give the crumbs, when you decide not to give your best; it is unfaithfulness. Yes! That’s what the Bible is saying here. When you decide not to give your best, it is unfaithfulness, when you decide to give less than your best, it is unfaithfulness, because you are not been faithful, you are not being true to your duty and obligation. Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? This thing you are offering to God, this thing you are offering to your spouse, your employer, or your employee; can you offer it to your governor? Can you offer it to your president? Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably? Says the Lord of hosts” Anything that cannot be accepted favorably is a sign of unfaithfulness.
Are you faithful at your place of business? Are you faithful at your place of work? Are you faithful in your marriage? Are you faithful as a mother over your children? Are you faithful as a father over your children? Are you faithful as a son and as a child of God? Are you faithful as a son and as a daughter to your parents? These are underlining issues; these are issues we have to treat. Faithfulness is key, you can’t be unfaithful, you can’t be false to your duty and obligation and still expect to walk in your prophetic destiny. Faithfulness is a call and a life that is expected of everyone and every life that would want to walk in a glorious and a prosperous life.
So, I just want to enjoin you; quit the unfaithfulness, treat unfaithfulness with faithfulness, in every area you have been unfaithful, replace them with faithfulness which means you are true and you are faithful to your duty and your obligation and you will see that your life will take a dramatic turnaround for good, and you will start seeing the beauty and the glory of your life will be radiating right before you.
I believe you have been able to glean wisdom on this episode of Life Treatment™. Stay faithful, stay leading, and enjoy a beautiful and glorious life in Jesus name.
