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.
Ev.Evard.
