REWARDING SERVICE

September 26, 2013

The scripture says in 1 Cor 3:8 that, “Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.” For every labor and service rendered, there is always a reward. Someone said money is a reward for a service rendered. Some organizations have some packages, asides the normal salary package, which is always being given to their employees at the end of the year to show appreciation for their services rendered.

One thing I have discovered however is that, no matter how great and rewarding your employer may be, their reward can never be compared to the reward you get serving God. Exo 23:25 says, “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” What a rewarding service. Your employer can reward you with free medical treatment, but the Lord God rewards by taking sickness away.

Serving God is the most rewarding service on earth and the only service that has a heavenly reward. Pharaoh was destroyed because he refused to allow the people of God serve Him. God is committed to defending only His people.

Deut 11:13-14 says, “And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.”

Friends, serve God with everything on the inside of you; your talent; your time; your money and even your entire body. Be enlisted into God’s workforce and your reward shall be massive here on earth and when we get to heaven.
