All glory to our Mega God who graced us to climb the second ladder of 2023.
In January God ministered unto us through His servant, where we were ushered into a Mega 2023 and what is required of us to fully harvest our Mega reward in Christ Jesus.
Our lives are filled with many choices of how to spend our time, energy, and resources. Some live for money and possessions, amassing as much as they can, while some invest their time in education or entertainment, hoping to find long-lasting value and enjoyment.
How do we make the best use of the choices we have in life?
Imagine that you are a stock trader at your office, researching the best stocks to invest. You feel a nudge on your shoulder and look up to see Jesus Christ himself standing beside your desk! He smiles, reaches into his pocket and gives you a sheet with the 10 best companies to invest your money in for the next 50 years. You can’t believe what just happened! God has given you the winners you were trying to predict. You are astonished at the grace of God and are excited to go “all in” with your money into those companies. Anything less than going “all in” would be the waste of a lifetime.
The truth is, as Christian, God has already given us the incredible opportunity of knowing the future so that we may be able to invest your life wisely in the light of it. The Scriptures tell us specifically about the things that Christ will reward.
God deeply desires our full commitment to His truth. Jesus said He is the truth (John 14:6), so that makes sense! Our commitment and self-examination honours God and secures the reward that we will receive.
Some reward or blessing may be given in this Earthly life, but the true reward—the far more valuable and lasting reward—will be in Heaven, and in the Millennial Kingdom of God on Earth. Doing good works with no assurance of reward in this life, but in the next, demonstrates the Believer’s true trust and faith in God.
Reward delivered beyond our current imagination is guaranteed by our God who cannot lie.
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be”.—Revelation 22:12
“Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”—Colossians 3:23-24
“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour”. —1 Corinthians 3:8-15
But what is God saying about the month of February 2023?
The scriptures is awash of several pointers to how our diligent faith in God connects us to our rewards.
…In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:6-7)
God desires that we walk by faith at all times, and keeping faith during trials is no exception. Fighting for faith during such times is tough! But pressing on will prove our faith genuine and bring promised rewards from God.
To this end, month of February 2023 is declared our Month of Mega Rewards.
The anchor scripture is Hebrew 11:6, KJV: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Looking forward to see you in all our services both on site and online. God bless you.
Shalom!
