THE KINGDOM REWARD SYSTEM

Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

 

Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.


Business is defined as exchange of goods and services for profit. Serving God is a good business and a lucrative one indeed. Romans 12:11 (Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord); But sad enough many have misplaced this issue of kingdom rewards. They can't wait for the man whom they work for to pay them, so they decided to change the law of kingdom rewards to suit their greed. In every organisation there is a reward system set in place, everyone is rewarded according to their contribution and experience. The level of your experience and personal development will determine your contribution to the success of the organisation, the same applies to the kingdom business (Acts 6:1-6). Jude 1:20 (But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost), That is, if I want promotion or financial benefit I have to contribute more to the growth of the organisation. When you are working for an organisation, you don't approach those you serve on behalf of your organisation for your rewards, no, you have to wait for the organisation to determine your pay. The same goes to the kingdom of God, you have to wait and demand your pay from God not the flocks or the followers, it is very wrong. The same way it is wrong in the world system it applies to the kingdom business too. You need to understand how the organisation works, go back to your employment contract and check it clearly and also check your performance and be sure that your appraisal is intact. In this kingdom our Father's business is very simple and self defined including the reward system. The business is to draw men to His kingdom and populate it and then He will reward you for a Job well done. John 4:34 (Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together). No work no pay (Laugh). But in this generation many want to reap without sowing, forgetting that our kingdom rules on principles including the principles of seed time and harvest (Genesis 8:22). Just like in every organisation there is some benefit that just comes to you by being a member of that particular organisation which is called fringe benefit but in this kingdom we may refer to it as mercy drops. Many have mistaken mercy drops to be the  real deal but it is not. As you give your life to Christ you are entitled to fringe benefit, that is what you gain by being a member of the kingdom. Only the active and participative members can make bold demands for their promotion or their pay. Matthew 19:27 (Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life). I pray for someone reading this message now, that shall be your portion in the name of Jesus, your labour will not be in vain. 1 Timothy 5:17 (Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward). This is just the tip of the iceberg; we will speak more on this particular topic in the forthcoming book. I believe that God has opened the eyes of someone today concerning this issue of rewards. May the Lord bless His word and the reader, in Jesus name. Friends, in case you have missed it somewhere along the way in this journey, you can always reconnect and if you are not part of His family yet, you can also join now by praying this salvation prayer below.


Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
