YOUR REWARD IS COMING SOON

Praise God my brothers and sisters in Christ!

After some time I have come with a message that the Lord has put on my heart to share with you to encourage you that your gift is on its way, coming to you no matter what. And am titling it “YOUR REWARD IS COMING SOON”

As we all know is that every work done must be followed by the reward.  I hope that we see it happen in some places mostly on the place of work. I have seen many people struggling to study and their main purpose is that after finishing their study they may get a job and be paid well.  And also there are some people here who are not well educated, but they too get jobs of using their power and get paid. So allow me to say that the reward is the payment of the work done.

You may be knowing it in another way, but for me I will say it like that according to the word of God in the book of Revelation 22:12 …

And behold l am coming quickly, and My rewards is with me, to give to every one according to his work.

So when we read this scripture we see that Jesus is saying that He is coming soon with His reward/salary to pay each one according to the work/job done.  I have mentioned about people who try hard in all means and get jobs so that they can be paid well.  The truth is that here (in Uganda) they don’t pay according to how you work. Here some people work hard and get paid little, and some work little and get paid much and this is mostly based on how educated you are.  Take the example of the primary teacher and university teacher. The primary teacher stays at school teaching from morning to evening and gets paid about $100 a month. Whereas a lecturer at the university comes to the school for only one-two hours, but get paid $500 a month.  When you look at this it seems not right.

That is how things are here, but with God it is not like that. He is a man of His words and He fulfills His words/promises.  He means what He says. As He said that He is coming with His reward to pay every one according to His deeds/work He mean it.  So I encourage you that you keep on doing the work that you are doing for your reward is near.

Now, who is to be rewarded?

Every one of us will be rewarded according to our deeds whether good or bad. If your work is well appreciated you will receive a reward appreciation.  If you deeds were wrong you will receive rewards of punishment. We can see again on Isaiah 40:10 that He will come with His reward.

So I want to encourage you my brother to keep on doing that work you are doing for your reward is near.

There are many challenges we face when working in any part and that is being despised, disappointed and discouraged by people near you.  But I tell you that those people have their rewards so you too have to keep on working for your reward.

You may work and get tired and feel to leave and go because your reward has delayed, but I want to encourage you that your reward must come if you stay in your position. And when you feel like getting tired, know that your gift is near and by the time you leave and get out of your position, you will lose your reward near.

A short story here:

There was a man and he liked cleaning the road. This man used to clean the road in morning and evening and no one was to pay him. So when he was cleaning the road someone saw him and thought this old man was getting much money of cleaning the road. So this other man started to ask himself how he can get that job of cleaning the road so that he can be paid too, but he feared to ask.

So he said that I will keep on checking on this man till I will see him not present. So when he was thinking of that, the other one that was cleaning started to ask himself, “Why am I cleaning this road? Who is going to pay me? By the way what am I gaining in this?”

All the answers he could get were telling him negative and so he felt to leave the work of cleaning. But when he was cleaning, a rich man passed on that road and saw him cleaning for some days.  So he went home and said that I will need to go and thank this man that cleans this road, because he has done a great work and I don’t get problems driving my car through this road. He got a big box and packet many gifts and got an envelope and put millions of money to come and thank the cleaner.

When the cleaner  got negative answers, he decided to leave the cleaning job.  Then when the other man that admired the cleaner was passing by, he  found that the cleaner left the job, so he said to himself, “Let me  clean this road and get the payment that this man has been getting.” So he started cleaning.

When he had just started, the rich man came with a big package to thank the cleaner, he found this new cleaner on the work. He called him and said, “Thank you for that good work that you are doing. Here is your reward, go and celebrate”.

So this man went home celebrating for the reward but the real cleaner went home crying.

What can you get in this story? Mine is that where you feel like getting tired is where your reward is coming.

So I encourage you my brother, my sister, to keep doing that good work that you are doing, and know that your reward is near, no matter what the situation is saying.

People near you may despise you, but God will always encourage you. And if you see that there is nothing you are doing there, try and do something for the Lord so that on the day of rewarding you get a reward too. And it is up to you now to decide of which reward to receive. Good deeds you get a good reward. Wrong deeds you get a reward of punishment. We can read this in the book of Hosea 4:9.

So which reward are you waiting for?

You who are doing good, keep on doing good.  You who have not been doing good, you can change today and start to do good and hope for the reward.

Allow me to stop here for now, but I will be sharing more messages later as the Lord leads.  Your comment on this message will mean a lot, as we advice each other in this journey of salvation.

Stay strong in the lord and keep doing good to all as you wait for your reward.

By your brother and friend.

2011 is a New Bundle!

Hello my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ!

I hope you have a blessed new year in Jesus name.

When I was entering this year I was blessed to get this message that blessed my heart and felt to share it with you saying “THIS IS A NEW BEGINING” meaning that the past is over and now is a new begining with much hope to succeed in this year 2011.

When I was still thinking about this, I was reminded that 11 means a starting of a new bundle like the first ten then the second ten so we have started a new bundle of second ten, and I feel to encourage you that this bundle we have started is to be successful for you in all.

Believe this word and you will see it coming to pass.

At this time you don’t need to see or think of or on your past, but only your tomorrows.  To that God is saying that all will be well for you in Jesus name.

Someone say Amen!

From reading Jeremiah 29:11-13, it shows that He is having a good plan for you this year, and that He is waiting to answer your prayers if you pray with all your heart. So this year your prayers are to be heard and answered not matter what has been your last situations. So it is now up to you to accept this to happen or hinder it, but for Him, He is saying that I am waiting for you to pray and willing to answer your prayer.

So my brother and sister I am encouraging you to go on now and tell your loving father whatever is your need this year. He is willing to make you happy and make you laugh this year, in Jesus name. Take it and you will see it fulfilled in Jesus name.

When the enemy try to tell you that you are going to fail, tell him that the one protected you through 2010 will help you succeed in 2011, in Jesus name.

I take this message in Jesus name. Take it and believed it too, you will see it happening in Jesus name.

That’s a short message for the New Year 2011 and am coming soon with another message to encourage you go on.

Be blessed in all you are doing this year 2011.

Yours brother, friend in Christ

Ev.Evard.

IT IS NOT YOUR POWER THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS

Praise God my brothers and sisters in Christ!

Here am back with another message which I hope will minister to someone because God has put it on my heart for the reason and I know his word comes for the purpose to some one. I am sharing my today’s message titled “IT IS NOT YOUR POWER THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS”.

You may be asking yourself what I mean by this title, but I request you to take time and read on this message and by the time you finish it you will understand what I mean, and if you don’t, feel free to ask.

One time I was asking myself why some people fight hard and struggle a lot, but do not succeed, and some do not struggle much or work hard but succeed. This spent some days in my thoughts and minds trying to look for the answer, so one time I went in my praying time and God gave me this message.  That it is not someone’s power, education, hard working, big family, many relatives or friends that will help him/her to succeed, but only the belief and trust that that person has in the lord.  And on this I remembered some people that I have seen struggling and trying hard, but not succeeding and I also remembered some people who did not hardly fight but succeeded.  So this confirmed to me that it is not someone’s power or knowledge that helps to succeed.

Everybody on this earth wants to be strong, well known, succeed in life, and be rich and this has made many people mad, fighting each other to gain honor.  That’s where we see nations fighting, presidents fighting, families fighting and even churches fighting.  The reason is because they want to succeed in life, but don’t know how to do so and so they try according to their knowledge.

I don’t like to speak my own words basing nowhere, but like to base on the word of God so we are going to see one well known young man that succeeded and this man is none other than David. We are reading from the book of 1 Samuel 17.  (I can’t type the all chapter here because the message will be too long but you can read on the chapter yourself.)

When we are reading in this chapter, we see that these people of two groups were in the war and both of them wanted to succeed in their battle and these people were all having soldiers well tried to fight. And in the two groups, there is one group (Philistines) that was seen as stronger than the other and the other group (Israelites) was seen to be a bit weak at first.

From verse 4-10 shows how the first group had a champion, strong and hard working man and well trained to fight, and himself speaking that he is strong enough to kill and destroy. And on verse 11 we see that the second side was scared and terrified because no one among them looked like the other champion.  Now it means that in their hearts they were already defeated, because they didn’t know how to succeed though they wanted. This is also to some people in this world. They are defeated before starting the battle, but thanks to God that there is some that know what to do and how to succeed.

On which side are you?

When we continue reading we see that from 12-15 shows the family with some guys old enough and seemed trained to fight going with the army, but one (David) seemed weak and useless, left behind because he was not strong enough to fight, and not well known as a fighter. This happened on that time and till now it is still happening.  We see with our usual eyes and see some people as useless, but God is seeing them as bold and strong enough to fight, and he believes in them more than these we choose on our own.

Continue reading, verse 16 shows that the strong side (Philistines) continued challenging the weak seemed side (Israelites) for some good long time for many days more than a month because none of these people (groups) knew how to succeed.

Then from verse 17-21 shows the other young man (David) that was seen as useless on the battle is now getting an opportunity of coming to see what was going on.  This was God’s plan to show his power to the Philistines, that he is the Lord God, and to the Israelites that he needed them to trust him.

And from 22-24 shows the young man (David) reaching the battle ground and shows the champion keep intimidating the Israelites and shows Israelites scared of the strong man, yet they came knowing themselves as well trained too.

From verse 25-29 shows the young boy coming near some people on the battle ground and he tried to ask what was taking place.  But when his brother heard him he was burned up with anger, because he knew that this one was to die in the battle because he was too young to fight. He talked to him badly, but this boy was humble and knew that his coming there was God’s plan.

My brother and sister I want to encourage you never to fight for yourself when you left out, but knowing the one you believe that is able.

Read on verse 32, the one seemed weak, useless and too young to fight is now encouraging the commander not to loose heart and not to encouraging him only, but promising to fight the battle and win.  But still on 33 shows the commander is despising this young man because he knew that they are to overcome the battle on their own and so he saw this man was not old to fight, and not trained to fight.

Verses 34-37 shows the young man explaining how God used him to fight animals and showing that the same God can help him to overcome this battle.  Here shows that David knew that his killing the other animals was not by his power on his own, but was God that used to help him.  So he believed that the same God will help him again, not his own power to help him.

From 38-44 shows the young man now accepted to fight and they dressed him the battle garments, but he could not fit them because he was not used of them.  So he refused them and went with miner things compared to the biggest of the battle. And here we continue seeing the champion seemed stronger cursing the young man and intimidating him, but the young man never got scared.

I like 45, 46 and 47 make sure you read on them. They show well that David knew that he was not to succeed on this battle on his own, but he was to overcome because of the Lord and he was to attack in the name of the Lord God.

It is not by the spear or sword that Lord serves, the battle is the Lords.  He knew how to succeed and who to help him succeed!

Whom do you think to fight your battle?

48-58 shows how the champion was put to shame by a despised young boy by the help of Father God in heaven. This young man defeated the champion with only a stone.  Imagine a stone! It was not a stone that killed this man! … not David that killed the champion!.. but it was the power of God, through David’s faith and his believing in the Lord.

Now I want to tell you that all people despised David, and none of his brothers or fellow Israelites that hoped him to fight and overcome, but he knew that there was some one to help him overcome and fight on his behalf.

I know that there are some battles you are fighting in your ministry, life, family, business and you want to succeed and you have really tried a lot.  But let me discourage you that you will not overcome that battle if you continue fighting for yourself, unless you allow God in to fight for you that battle.

And I want to encourage you that the moment you trust him(God) to fight for you, he will fight and overcome the battle, and you won’t remain the same, because from this day David was known to many nations, and till now we are reading on him.  But if he tried to fight for himself, we would be reading on him as a loser.  Instead, he put his hope and trust in the lord to help him succeed in the battle.

Which battles are you fighting or lay before you? Do you want to overcome? Trust unto the Lord and let him fight it for you for the battle is his.

Do you want to succeed in life? Let him be your number one in everything.

There are some of you who are like David, but denied a chance to reach the battle ground because you are seen to be weak, too young to fight, not trained to fight, and even not used of fight.  But I want to encourage you that God is planning for you, and you will one day get a chance to that place may be in the ministry, or anywhere, and the Lord will show himself through you in Jesus name.

Don’t fight for yourself, but let God fight that battle for you. Don’t look at your education, money, relatives or wealth, and see that you can do all things on your own, or look on you power and see that you are powerful enough to overcome everything.  It is not your power that will help you overcome.

I encourage you all that the Lord God is a loving father, and he wants to see you winning.  The moment you lift your trust in him, you will win all battles laid before you, and you will see God’s power more and more. If you fight or struggle on your own you will struggle for nothing and will be defeated, but if you let him fight for you, he will lead you to success in Jesus name.  Can someone there say amen?

A prayer: Father God in heaven, Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for your love to all of us who believe and trust in you, and I thank you for this opportunity to speak to this person reading this message. I pray Lord that you put this word in our hearts that we may always remember that you are the one to fight for us. And whenever you stand to fight for us, we overcome. Fight for that lady in struggle to keep her family, fight for those parents in struggle for their children and families and fight for those business people struggling for their businesses, and fight for your servants struggling for ministries, Lord.  I believe that you are fighting for them and I pray you forgive us where we have not trusted you and help us to keep on trusting you in all corners, because when we trust you, you can not leave us, but will help us succeed in Jesus name. I believe that you are doing this and am praying through Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, Amen and amen.  (You there can say amen too.)

Be blessed my brothers and sisters in all your doing, I remain your brother and friend.

ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPING IDOLS?

Hello my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

Hope you are doing well in Christ whether by faith or by sight. After a long time not posting some notes or blogs here, I have come with this one now which I felt that I should share with you. I don’t know why but I believe God want to talk to some one and I pray it be useful.

Am titling this message a “ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPING IDOLS?” IDOLATRY.

As I was reading the bible in the book of Romans 1:18 -25, I found/discovered that these days people do worship idols unknowingly and others do knowing that they are worshiping idols, which is not good before God. I request you to read those verses from your bible,  there because I have not put them all here, but you can read there yourself, as I pick on some to make the message short for readers.

From verse 18 to 23 shows well that God’s ways and his mighty and power was shown to people through what he was doing.  But though he shown them all signs, they never thanked him but they claimed to be wise.

And this is seen more these days here in my country. I don’t know there? Whoever God tries to use in amazing ways for his glory, one starts to boast and be proud of oneself and at the end one ends up being worshiped as god.  So at the end of verse 20, it says that people will have no excuse, because He used them and they knew whom He was, but they only glorified themselves.  And the passage continues to show in 21 that though they knew Him, but they never glorified Him, but they glorified themselves and they started to worship other gods.  Verse 23 shows that they started worshiping other gods.

Here is a question:  Are you worshiping Him or is His glory given to something else?

I know the answer may be “Yes, I am worshiping Him,” but if you can research well you are not. Today many things are worshiped instead of God and you there can tell the truth if you see what is happening all over the world. People are fighting one another because of money, wealth, titles and great name and many other things.

Here we have seen a problem and sometimes it has become difficult to preach the gospel to the non-believers because of the battles between the church.  If you try to find out why these churches are fighting, you end up finding that the problem is MONEY!!

You can find two churches in one building and when the time to worship come, they both start and people wonder what is going on.  Here is ask myself, are they really worshiping God or something else?  Here the next step must be how you can have the one go away and you stay alone in this place. So how do you think that one will do that to win the other?

I ask you also to ask yourself there, is there someone you feel you are not happy with or not well with, and is there something that happened between you two, but was it Godly or it was money, business matter or something else? Then if its Godly, look for the answer from Him, but if it is not, repent in your heart for worshiping idols.

I also want to ask you as I ask my self, what is on your mind all times or what are you thinking of most times? Being a great business person, known preacher in the all world, is it to be a rich man in your country, or to know God more and be near him? After answering that then check yourself, are you really worshiping Him or something else?

On verse 25 shows that instead of worshiping God the creator, we worship and serve His creations. I want to tell you this is true, because these days we think about our wealth more than God, on our children more than God, our ministries more than God, our Churches more than God.  But it should God more than all these other things.

So my bro or Sis I request you to bend down your head there on your computer and ask yourself, am I serving God or some thing else?  Then pray in your heart for forgiveness and pray He help you to worship Him in truth and spirit.

Here we pray:

My beloved Father God in heaven, I thank You for Your love to me and I pray You forgive me wherever I have worshiped anything else not You.  Help me to put You as my number one in all things, so that I glorify Your name forever till I overcome this world. I pray and believe this in Jesus name. Amen.

It’s a short prayer, but you can do more than that. And I will be happy to see your comment or any question and may God bless you as you contribute on this message.

Your brother and friend in Christ,

Ev.Evard K.

JESUS LOVES POOR FOLK!

While Evard is away, I want to share this post with you.  The photos are of a crusade before Christmas.  And this message lines up with what Evard is doing right now… PREACHING TO THE POOR.

SCRIPTURE: (Luke 4:18-19, NKJ)

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

TEXT: (v.18)
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor.”

As I read this passage that phrase jumped out at me. Didn’t Jesus come to preach the good news to everyone? Why does the prophet Isaiah only mention the poor? Don’t we all need good news?

And then another question. Who are these poor that Jesus preached to?

Well, I learned that there are two types of poverty mentioned in the New Testament. In the Greek they are:

• Penes – those poor who can help themselves through their own labour; and
• Ptochos – those in abject poverty, who have no other means of support than to beg – the ones who need someone else to lift them.

And it is interesting that it was to this second group that this prophecy was addressed. These are the poor that we see images of in third world countries. These are those who do not seem to have any hope. This is to whom Jesus came to preach good news. Oh, how He loves poor people, and how He wants to deliver them! Our natural reaction would be to turn a blind eye as those images we see are far too disturbing. But let us stop and look. See them as Jesus did.

So what is it that causes one to be in this sorry state? If we look at the following verses and we notice four different groups of people.  They are the abused, the prisoners, the blind, and the oppressed.

And what did Jesus come to do for these people? Did He come with government hand-outs and relief aid? Did He come with oodles of money to pay their debts? No!! Those are only band-aid solutions.

INSTEAD, Jesus came with ANSWERS!! He came to heal broken hearts, to proclaim liberty from bondage, to bring recovery of sight, and to set the oppressed free.

Here is how He did it:

“Though He was rich, He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”  (2 Cor. 8:9, NKJ)

Yes!! He became destitute, as poor as a beggar, so that we might become rich. This is the GOOD NEWS!! Jesus went to the cross, stripped of all so that He would be OUR ALL.

So that is why He came with good news for the poor beggars. They were desperate. They are the ones who recognized their need and most willing to receive.

For those of us who have some wealth or substance, and even for the battlers, we can depend on our own resources. We do not have the same desperate need of a Saviour. Well, we don’t see it. But all that outward wealth can camouflage our real need, and that is, without Christ we are in dire need spiritually. That is why Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Each one of us needs to come to the point of recognizing that spiritually we are like a poor beggar. We need to cast aside our independence and call on Him for mercy and favour.

So now can we understand why the gospel is flourishing in poor countries, while in the west we are in spiritual famine? Really, who are the rich and who are the poor?

“Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?” (James 2:5, NKJ)

“The blessing of the Lord make one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22, NKJ)

So let us come to His feet and sing with the hymn writer:

Jesus see me at Your feet,
Nothing but the blood can save me;
You alone my need shall meet,
Nothing but the blood can save me.

No, no, nothing do I bring,
But by faith I’m clinging
To the cross, O, Lamb of God,
Nothing but the blood can save me.

The photos are from a crusade in Uganda that Evangelist Evard was involved in just before Christmas.  He preached about Jesus who came as the Light of the World, and that people no longer need to grope in the darkness of despair.  Many received Christ!  We thank God!!
