331st -- Message On God's Rewards

  

I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. I am doing very
well and thankful to the Lord for His continued blessings upon this work 
that is founded under His name. The Lord has blessed our Ministry in many
ways, but the main way the blessings are shown are in receiving the many 
responses from our members telling us that they are being encouraged and 
inspired to continue their walk with the Lord and more so to go all out in
being all that God wishes for them to be. I pray that each of our dear 
members continues to receive the encouragement and inspiration of the Lord
to believe in themselves as God believes in them and to continue on in life
with a renewed and refreshed determination. To God be all the glory, honor
and praise now and forevermore.

The Lord has spoken to my heart to write a message on the rewards that He
has promised to all those who endure and continue to live a life of 
righteousness for His Name's sake. If discouragement has found a way into
your life, then I hope this message encourages your heart to continually 
look to the Lord and remember that His reward is one that will last for 
all eternity and promises to greatly overshadow the trials and tribulations
that were brought before you on the earth. Keep strong in His promise and
remember that greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 2:9, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath 
prepared for them that love Him." Imagine the greatest of mansions filled
with the most beautiful of artifacts that can ever be constructed even with
the most delicate of craftsmanship. Even this great achievement does not
come close to the beauties of what God has prepared as a just reward for a
life lived in righteousness. Think of the most beautiful sounds you have
ever heard whether it be as simple as a bird singing, or as great as the 
music of composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin and others. 
Even this great company of music does not compare to the sounds that are
promised to be heard in the Eternity of heaven. (John 14:1-3) (1 Peter 1:3-9)

Keep your eyes and faith focused on the Lord at all times. Staying faithful
to the Lord does not only preserve our life here on the earth, but also is
promised to bring Joy's unspeakable in heaven. I believe the Lord promises
His great rewards because He knows of our emotions, but still wants us to
continue on the right path that leads to life. It is only normal for us to
get discouraged at times and want to give up and give in. Many of God's 
great servants questioned their calling and even wondered if God had picked
the right person for the job. We must remember that God is all knowing and
He knows of our strengths even while we ourselves sometimes question and 
even doubt them. (Proverbs 3:1-8) (Exodus 4:10-12) (Jeremiah 1:4-10)

Never fall into the trap of wanting to give up and do things the way the 
world does them. Living a life of righteousness requires us to travel on
the narrow road of life. The Lord Jesus declares in Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow
is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are 
few who find it." The Lord is always honest in that He tells us that life
is not going to be simple and easy, but still His reassurance that all is
well is a gift that I have relied on many times. His strengthening is what
gives us strength to continue on. The road of life is hard, but the end 
result will lead to life and not destruction and an eternity in heaven 
with the Lord. (Psalm 15:1-5) (Revelation 21:1-8) (John 16:33)

Let this message be an encouragement to you to stay faithful in every area
that God has placed you in. You may question your life at times, but never
allow the voice of discouragement to make you want to quit or give up. The
Lord knows you better than you know yourself and has well-equipped you to 
handle every trial and tribulation that may come before you. Rejoice in 
the goodness of the Lord and know that His love for you reaches beyond 
even the greatest borders and is one that will last for all eternity. Such
great Love is incomprehensible, but still thankfully exists to all who 
will receive. (Psalm 91:1-4) (1 Corinthians 1:26-31) (Jeremiah 31:3)


Read and meditate on these scriptures:

John 14:1-3 Jesus declares,
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in
God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it 
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you 
unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."


1 John 4:4-6 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: 
because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They
are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth
them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."

Revelation 22:12-14 Jesus declares, "
And, behold, I come quickly; and My 
reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed
are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I
have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of 
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that
day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing."

All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
