Reward

Text : Mat 16:27.

 *For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.*

 *There's no one that understands and gives reward for work done like God.* 

Heb 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that *he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.* 

Unlike men, God is a just rewarder. He can't be bribed because He's  no respecter of persons, and He can't forget to repay because He is omniscient. He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

 *Once you lose sight of the reward,  you lose the zeal to fight and the motivation to win.* 

Before any rational man engages in anything, he asks himself ( albeit silently) and at times,  openly that "what's in it for me? 

 David said, "What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" 1 Sam 17:26.

Though David already knew the reward that was promised to whoever kill Goliath,  but before he embarked on this valiant mission,  he stopped to confirm on two different occasions what's in it for him. Though David had been anointed to do exploits prior to this time, and he was confident in God about his victory,  yet,  he didn't want to lose the reward attached to the winner. 

 *The reason many people are not so focused on eternal inheritance is because the devil had made them lose sight of the reward.* 

And the reason why many are ready to kill and be killed for earthly goods, fame and position is because they know what is in it for them. 

Pray to God to open your eyes of understanding so you may know the Hope of His calling. Pray that God will open your heart to see what He has in stock for you

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
