REWARD


 TEXT :  Gen. 15:1  

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward

God told Abraham He is his exceeding great reward. Abraham got this response because he was expecting a child from the Lord. Every child of God must learn this important thing that God is your reward. *When you learn to see God as your reward in all that you do, you will hardly see or receive dissapointment from any man.  Often than not, we get frustrated and dissapointed when we do not receive "weldone" from man. This is because we focus on wrong person. 

If you start doing all things as unto the Lord, then all your reward shall also come from the Lord.  *And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Colossians 3:23* It may take time, but when your focus is in God for your reward  you will always have cause to Rejoice in the Lord. 
*Wether you are duly rewarded or not, always discharge your duty as if you are working for the Lord.* When you do, your reward will always come from above. 

Stop working as if you are doing someone a favour. Stop working for salary or allowance from man. Work for tangible reward from the Lord. Don't ever think that it's only Pastors or the clergy alone that are working for the Lord. You can be a Banker, Teacher, IT consultant, Doctor, Nursing mother, Student, or Security personnel and at the same time a full time worker for the Lord. When you see your work as a platform for God's glory and you see God as your employer, then you God's worker and employee, and you will surely receive your reward in full from Him and not from man. 

When you start seeing God as your employer in whatever you do, then you are God's  worker, and He will reward you adequately. Some employers are yet to understand this truth. 

As an employer don't ever see people(your workers or employees) as tools to be used to achieve your goals and ambitions,  rather see them as co-workers with you- working  for the Lord. Honour and relate with them appropriately. 


Bible Reading:  Colossians 3:22-25.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
