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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
