Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation 22:12 NIV
Hello Friends, We all look forward to receiving that pay check/salary at the end of every work week, or pay cycle. Getting a fanancial return on the work we have put out is what we look forward to. We count, and sometimes anxiously wait on that payment because we have bills to pay and responsibilities to uphold. The principle of sowing and reaping is definite, and we expect it to work on our behalf. According to this principle; whatever you sow/plant you will reap (whatever that may be). Whatever you work towards, you expect to see a result, or a return on what you have invested in. Whatever your lifestyle is based on is the life you are going to be living.
Friends, when pay day comes around for you, you look to your boss or employer to give you just payment based on the worked you have done. You know if your boss refuses to pay you, or give you less than what you’ve worked for all hell would break lose. However, if you receive a bonus, or increase in salary you would rejoice and thank heaven for such a reward. The joy that you feel knowing that you have worked hard, pushed through, got the job done, and now you have been rewarded gererously. Friends, God is Faithful, and the heart of the master is generous toward a faithful servant.
Your creator is faithful Friends. You don’t have to be discouraged. Don’t give up. Continue in serving God and others. Be reminded, that just as you work toward earthly rewards, and material things, and thriving financially, and living the best life, you must also, and most importantly, work for the rewards that are eternal. Therefore, friends, think on the rewards you will receive as a result of the way you have lived your life. What will you life living get you at your end? What do you hope to receive from the Omega and your end? Remember now also, that the one who created you, knitted you together, and sowed you into the earth, who was there from your beginning, will also be at the end. He is the Eternal, and a faithful stewart and husbandman. NO MATTER WHAT. What you receive is according to what you have worked towards.
God loves us friends, and only wants us to reap the blessings He has set up for us. Good and not evil. Therefore we must do good and not evil in this world. Your reward can only match your lifestyle. Jesus Christ is reminding us once again that when He comes, that it will be quick/unexpected. He also says in the verse of scripture that when He comes He is going to give every person according to what they have done. WHAT WILL YOUR REWARD BE? IF YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU, THEN YOU KNOW you have changes to make. If you know He is coming quickly, then make the decision to change quickly. The next minute is not promised.
Peace and Love!
