Bible Reading :Hebrews 10:34-35,37 KJV. Key Verse : v35.
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
God desires to do grear and wonderful things in the lives of those who love and serve him. Everything he does goes through his own personal due process. Men who desires to get the best of him need to understand his mode of operation as to key into it till they have the results or proofs to show. In the first place, we need to understand that our walk with God must cost us something before we can make any meaningful gains. The cost varies from individuals. To some, it can be some relationship that doesn’t glorify God they must do away with. To another person it may be persecution sometimes from even close and loved ones who feel uncomfortable with our stand with Christ Jesus, all kinds of losses, mockery of men, etc. The enemy does all these looking for a way to weaken our resolve to follow Jesus unconditionally. “May the thought of this cause you to jump for joy, even though lately you’ve had to put up with the grief of many trials. But these only reveal the sterling core of your faith, which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Your authentic faith will result in even more praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the Anointed One is revealed.” 1 Peter 1:6-7 TPT.
One factor that will help anyone stand strong when our faith in Christ is being tried is to focus of the reward or crown just like the master himself and our early father’s in the faith. Our text rightly said that one reason we must not give up in the face of trials is because there’s always a recompense (compensation) for every price you pay in him and also a reward for every work done in his name and to his glory. Some of these we receive here on earth while the most important and greater part is reserved for eternity. “But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.” Isaiah 45:17-19.
One important key that will always be useful to get us to our destination in him is patience. Note the fact that after we have done God’s will or what the Lord commanded or expects of us, we still need to wait patiently for our expected compensation which most time happens here on earth and reward which we receive mainly after our earthly walk him is over and we return to be with him forever. Reward is that we receive at the end as a result of our good works on earth, done to the glory of his name. “And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
Revelation 11:16-18.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you have not called me to seek and serve you in vain. Today and always, help me to stay focused on the price of the high calling. Help me to overcome in every trials that comes my way. I must finish strong in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Psalms 51:1-19.
