*Study scripture:* _3 John 1:3-4 – It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth. – I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.*(NIV)*_
*FAITHFULNESS TO THE TRUTH*
Apostle John testified of the primary ground of faithfulness in the life of a Christian. Faithfulness starts with a personal yielding, testimony and experience of the truth.
To be faithful to the truth means to get a hold of the true testimony of Christ concerning everything. The world has ideas about many things but that does not make them truth, truth is what Jesus has spoken.
For example, the bible says that by his stripes you were healed. *_(1 Peter 2:24)._* To be faithful to the truth means you holdfast that testimony regardless of what pain is in your body. You stay convinced and proclaim that am healed by the stripes of Jesus.
If the bible says that Jesus was rich but became poor to make you rich,*_(2 Corinthians 8:9)._* Faithfulness to that truth means you fully believe that which has been spoken by Christ that you are rich regardless of your financial stand.
Jesus has testified in *_2 Corinthians 5:21_* that you have been made the righteousness of God in him. To stay faithful to truth is to fully walk in that regardless of what weaknesses of sin you are experiencing.
Remember God rewards Faithfulness. When you stay consistent to what has been spoken concerning your life,you will receive the full reward of everything God has said about you. To walk in truth means to walk in the testimony of God about Christ.
The greatest joy any man of God ought to have is not because the church has money, or the church has cars or the church members are getting married. The greatest joy that satisfies should be that the children are walking in Truth, the testimony of Jesus.
*_Praise be to God!!_*

John 14:6
John 1:17
*Nugget:*
To walk in truth is to fully embrace the ministry of Jesus Christ. Faithfulness and loyalty to a Christian starts when you celebrate and choose to receive what God has appointed to you through Christ Jesus.
*Glory to God!!*
*Prayer*
I choose to walk in the truth of God concerning my life. I am full of victory and glory. I carry a testimony of everything God has spoken about me in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen

*Study scripture:* _Acts.17.26 – And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;_
*NO ACCIDENT IN YOUR LIFE*
Many times we sit in conversations with men and they have a lot of regret concerning their circumstances of birth. Some regret where they were born. Some regret the continents they were born in.
There are many who say the worst mistake was to be born a muganda or a musoga or a mugisu. Some say the worst mistake was to be born in Uganda and it was by accident that I was born in Africa.
Listen to this,the circumstances of your birth have nothing to do with your destiny. Your skin color has nothing to do with your destiny. Many people have changed their identities,tribes, families, skin color in pursuit of a future.
The bible says God himself determined the boundaries of your habitation. He determined who your father should be. He determined where you should be born. He determined your tribe, skin color, continent and country. He determined your brothers and sisters before.
*_John.9.3 – Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him._* Regardless of how, where and place of birth, God intended you there that his power might be made manifest. You were born among the baganda that through you he may demonstrate his power among the baganda.
You were born in Africa that through the circumstance of your birth he may demonstrate his power to the Africans. You were born in Uganda that he may show his power through you among the Ugandans.
Be bold and thank God for your color, height, ethnicity, tribe, continent, country etc. There is no accident in where God placed you. He never made an error. All you need is to know why you were born there.
*Thanks be to God.*
*Further study:*
John 3:1-9
1 John 5:4
*Nugget*
Before you regret as to why you were born there, have you inquired of the Lord as to why you were born in such a place,at such time with such men?. Do not rush to change your identity. The life of God you have received in your spirit is enough to make you a champion and superstar in all things.The time and inquire of God as to why you were born there.
*_Hallelujah!!_*
*Prayer*
I thank you Lord for my life. I come to realize that there is no accident in my birth, place and origin. I live to manifest your in whichever place you have positioned me in the name of Jesus.
Amen
