The Presiding Bishop of The Life International Church, Bishop Dr Gordon Kisseh, has described faithfulness as a powerful spiritual force that sustains the Christian life and reflects the very nature of God, urging believers to remain steadfast even when progress appears slow.
Speaking on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at the 2026 Heads of Churches and Organisations Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Bishop Kisseh delivered a message on the topic “The Force of Faithfulness.” He likened the Christian life to a long-distance race, noting that spiritual growth is achieved through endurance, patience, and consistent obedience rather than instant results. He indicated that nothing of lasting value is attained suddenly and emphasised that believers must remain committed over time.
Bishop Kisseh explained that faithfulness is an active expression of God’s glory, reflecting His holiness, righteousness, and faithfulness. He noted that God often entrusts people with small responsibilities before assigning greater ones, and encouraged Christians to embrace humble beginnings while keeping a vision for greater impact.
He also cautioned that betrayal, greed, and distractions can undermine faithfulness. Even when wronged, believers are called to continue being faithful, because faithfulness is ultimately directed toward God and not men.
Drawing from Hebrews 3:1–6, Bishop Kisseh described faithfulness as a process, a fruit of the Spirit cultivated over time, and not a gift received overnight. He reminded participants that setbacks do not cancel God’s work and urged them to trust that, in His timing, God will accomplish His purposes through them.
Bishop Kisseh underscored the responsibility of obedience, noting that God does not perform by miracle what He expects believers to do through faithful action. He encouraged Christians to remain steadfast as they partner with God in fulfilling His purposes.
