WAGES OF LABOR

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
--------------------------------------------
    One problem that we have is the reality that we serve a kingdom and God we have never seen face to face. And that we rely on belief that we know He exists. It is a problem because many faint in their service to God just because they don't see Him and the rewards.
If it was that someone saw another receive gold and silver physically from their service to God, everyone would run to serve Him. And since jobs in such a kingdom are not limited to positions, we could have everyone doing that job to earn the silver and gold.

But that is not the case...I mean a place where we collect our rewards after service. The rewards are given in one way or the other.

The nature and amount of rewards varies from one person to the other. The amount and kind of rewards I may receive from my service may not be the same amount and kind that another person in the same service may receive.
A determinant of such is with the heart. The amount of "heart energy" you put into the service; I mean the devotion you put, determines what you receive and how much you receive. 

These rewards are not only heavenly, they are also earthly. When you serve God, you will be blessed both in heaven and on earth. Testing and seeing these blessings come to life is another devotion within scripture. God is faithful and He rewards all who come to him.
If you think you need the blessing of God pouring out so much into your life, give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

                 GOD BLESS YOU

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

IN-TOUCH

IN-TOUCH   Ephesians 6:18  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. -------------------------------------------- If you had a friend of yours, and it comes to your attention that you have spent 5 years without seeing them nor hearing from them, yet you know where they stay; would you still be friends? Christ rightly said it; "the things of the earth are a reflection of the things of the spirit". The same way you will lose the friendship just by the detouch, is the same way you could lose the relationship you have with your heavenly father if you are not in-touch.  One very important element that links us to the spiritual bodies in higher realms is prayer. Prayer is a way we communicate to God. It is a way through which we reveal ourselves to Jehovah. The true self that you are is best revealed through speaking to the unseen. As I was walking my own...

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...
