THE REWARD WILL COME

Post date: Apr 30, 2015 4:00:46 AM

Whether people have given you the recognition you deserved or have blindly denied you in that which you are doing: whether they have rewarded you adequately or partially, God has a desire to give you the glory that rightly follows your sincere services, your dedication, your humility, your submission, your tolerance, your patience, your faith, your faithfulness, your acceptance of His ways, His thoughts, His actions in your life and the pains you are being subjected to. But before you wear the designated crown from God, you must pass through the test or the pains of testing. Note that God will never test you in order to destroy or to fail you, He will never test you because you are weak and needy; He will never test you if He had not made provisions for your passing the test gloriously. He will not test you in order to expose your ignorance or lack of strength. The devil does all of the above; God will only test you in order to prove you capable, acceptable and qualified; He will only test you in order to justify you to wear the crown and not to deny you the crown. In every test that you will ever face from God, He will be there to ensure you are successful. He will not test you if He has no intent of glorifying Himself in you.

The reason most of us fail in such test is not because of what the devil is doing or because God has no intent in blessing us in it, it is because of where and what we put our focus on when we are tested. Our focus matters, it rewards, it tell of what we will do thereafter and what we will say thereafter. Never give up when you are tested and tempted, something good is about to come; never give up when you start praying, the result will surely come; never give up when you face great oppositions each day on that which is good, right and acceptable by God, something good will come out of it soon; never give up when you desire a change in your life, that of you children, that of your spouse, in your work, in your business and in your home, something good will surely come out of it. The devil cannot hold down indefinitely; his powers and authorities are temporal  

Never loss your focus when the test comes, never loss your direction, never think that God is absent, never think that you will perish in it, never be discouraged, never loss hope of the coming glory. When the crown comes, the number of years you have spent in the pains will never be remembered. I pray that God will take you to a time and a place that you will never remember the evil past but will give all you have in thanksgiving and in praises to Him alone who did it beyond all odds.

“Therefore, since we are justified, acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God through faith, let us grasp the fact that we have the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy, peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One. Through Him also we have our access, entrance, introduction by faith into this grace, state of God’s favor in which we firmly and safely stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. Moreover let us also be full of joy now, let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance, fortitude develops maturity of character, approved faith and tried integrity. And character of this sort produces the habit of joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5. For prayers Click here
