The reward of faithful service in the Kingdom of God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Dear friends, you are welcome to our daily word for spiritual strength.

 

I hope you are enjoying these daily encouragements from the word of God. Today I want to emphasise the reward of faithful service in the Kingdom of God.

 

One of the rewards of faithful service in the Kingdom of God is prosperity. The Bible says God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrew 11: 6). Jesus also said those who seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness will be rewarded with the necessities of life.

 

Our God is a God who sees in secret and who rewards us openly, so others can see it. God will never forget your work and the labour of love you showed towards His Name (Hebrew 6:10).

 

If you mind God’s business, He will mind your business (Matthew 6:33). His business is to seek and save that which is lost, to spread the values and influence of His Kingdom through the earth. It is profitable to put God and His business first in our lives, because that is one of the sure ways to a prosperous life.

 

Prosperity in the Kingdom of God is not just a function of hard work, planning, strategies and prayer. Prosperity is also a reward for kingdom service. God will make a difference between those who serve Him and those who do not (Malachi 3:14-18).

 

If you desire a prosperous life, please take some time today and check your dedication to kingdom service as you meditate on the following Scriptures: Exodus 23:25–26; Hebrews 6:10; 11:6; Matthew 6:4; 6:33.

 

Remember,

 

 There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for Christ’s sake, and the gospel’s, but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life (Mark 10: 30-31).

 

May God bless your bread and your water as you continue to serve Him with your strength!

 

See you tomorrow.

    Let’s look at the steps that Solomon took in order to find the meaning of life. We will see what conclusions Solomon came to. The first thing Solomon turned to was acquiring of wisdom and knowledge. «I communed with my heart, saying, „Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow» (Ecclesiastes, 1:16-18).

    The first thing God did to Abram was that He took him out of the tent, out of his comfort zone. While we stay within our comfort zone where we feel at ease, where we do not need to make an effort, where everything goes according to the habitual scenario, we are not able to see what God wants to show us. For this reason God often desires us to get out of our comfort zone, out of our routine lifestyle and for us to put forth some effort to expand our knowledge of the will of God for our life.

    We have established that God only comes when we have prepared the way for Him. We can do that by ministering to Him and fulfilling His calling in our lives. We pointed out that we have to use all possible means to preach the Gospel of Kingdom in this world, because that is the necessary prerequisite for the Coming of the Lord in glory and power. Let’s look at one more verse from the Scripture that talk about preparing the way of the Lord.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.

  • Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life

    AutorsMācītājs Rufus Adžiboije Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Reading the Bible we see how Jesus was growing and being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life, in order to set a good example for us. If Jesus had got to know God´s will using His divine nature instead, He wouldn´t have set a role model to us nor we wouldn´t be able to follow his steps today. Jesus stayed longer in the Temple after the feast of Passover in Jerusalem while other people had already left for home (see Luke 2:41-51). What was Jesus doing there and why did He stay longer in the Temple? He stayed there to listen to the scribes and to question them. That´s one of His secrets where His wisdom came from. Jesus studied the Scriptures. He attended the Temple and asked questions, prayed and leaned closer to God, His Father.
