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. Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    «Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.» (Hebrew 11:6). As we mentioned earlier, faith means acting in accordance to the word of God. Quite often God calls us to do impossible things, those only God Himself can accomplish. God is not inviting us to demonstrate our own capabilities, but what He is able to do through us. That´s why God often gives us the tasks we cannot accomplish without Him.

    In the Gospel of Mathew Jesus told a parable about Master giving his servants different talents. «For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey» (Mathew, 25: 14-15).Jesus shows us here that the criterion of His assessment is not quantity, but faithfulness. God know that every one of us has different abilities, so the quantitative result will be different for different people. Numbers are not important to Jesus; He cares about how faithful you have been with what God has given you. He cares about your attitude towards His work.

    Our ministry is to be the salt and light to our society. God has granted us this ministry, but not because we are better than others. God gave us this ministry because of His mercy. Now as the recipients of God’s mercy we do not have any right to condemn those that do not know God and live under the power of the prince of darkness. God is sending us – His children — into the world to spread the light and reconciliation. While doing this ministry, we should not lose heart; we should not allow anything to stop us. We must be courageous and go forward enduring sorrows as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.

  • Changes always come from praying! II

    If you desire to see and experience a miracle from God in your life, then you must forget about what other people think of your prayer style. At the period of seeking God, you must be concerned about one thing only, – how sincere your heart is during praying and how big your desire is to experience His intervention. Keep trusting and crying out to God even when everybody else have grown weak and lost faith in any possibilities for your life to change. God loves consistent and faithful people. He always has a reward for that type of people.

  • Changes mean working hard persistently II

    While growing up and changing we will see how we become more patient. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit God wants to be visible in your life. Therefore, God sometimes permits conflicts in your life, to help you with developing the fruit of patience. God desires to trample our pride thus transforming us into likeness of loving, persevere Christ. You are still arrogant if you show resentment at nonsense. God desires to help you to get rid of this arrogance. That´s why He allows people to do wrong to us. God is trying to teach us how to handle such situations, so that we are able to build relationships with people as His representatives on this Earth. Everything God permits in our life works together for good if we let Him mould us.
