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.

    God gives to us gifts according to our ability, so He does not call us to do the thigs we are not able to. If God has asked you to do something, it is only because He knows you are able to do it. He won’t give you more than you are able to bear. Simply use what you have.I once read a story about a woman who built a school for the needy. Before she began this, a desire was born in her heart to do it. It became her dream that she was thinking of consistently. At that moment she did not have a thing: no textbooks, no teachers, no building, and no money. But she did have a tremendous desire to fulfil her dream.

    «Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!» (Psalms, 32:1-2) David says that after repentance God’s forgiveness comes into person’s life, his transgressions are forgiven, his iniquities are not imputed to him and his sins are covered. David says this person to be blessed. One who does not hide an iniquity in his heart is open before God. But there is no forgiveness for the one who does not repent and does not confess his sins to God.

    A responsible person is organized, disciplined and diligent even when nobody watches him or her. Such a person determines what he needs to do, when he needs to do it and makes the necessary effort to accomplish it. A responsible person submits to what he needs to do. Since he understands the importance of being responsible, he cannot be idle or inert. A responsible person effectively uses his time, his energy and his resources.

    As a base we will use a passage from Mark chapter 4, where Jesus Himself was speaking in parables. In this chapter there are three parables, through which Jesus explains the power and the potential hidden in a small seed. First I would like to simply recount these parables, but later we will look at each of them in more detail. The first parable that Jesus talked about is the parable of the sower. This parable shows that there is a whole list of obstacles that make it difficult for seeds to grow and bear fruit. In this parable, Jesus went ahead to show us three types of obstacles which can impede the growth of the seeds that we sow. (Mark 4:3-20)
