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

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
