HANG TOUGH MATTHIAS

(In honour of the greatest man in KNUST, Fritz Quaye... Happy Birthday)

Acts 1:
21  "...Thus one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with us,
 22  beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us."

These were the requirements for choosing a new apostle, the highest office in the New Testament, and all that they were searching for was Faithfulness: who stuck with us from beginning to end?
Not, who preaches best or dresses best or gives most. Who has been faithful?

Verse 23: And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
(They didn't even tell us this dude's nickname mpo na his surname like the other guy).

But see this, they found 2 faithful guys in a room of 120 people, and verse 24 says God decided based on their hearts.
 
We never heard of Matthias till this point, but what was his secret to rising? Simple: HE WAS THERE. Any place Jesus went, anything he ever did, from raising Lazarus to pushing over tables in the market, he was there... And the rest was the state of his heart, which only God saw.

This one is longer than usual, but just to say, there is a reward for faithfulness with your heart in the right state. So hang tough Matthias, your time's coming. You will be announced by the Father Himself.
