Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
As a Believer, you can have predictable results by engaging the laws of The Spirit.
Our excelling in life is based on:
1. Our knowledge of Jesus Christ
2. Our knowledge of the Laws of The Kingdom or The Spirit.
Faith is not based on emotions. It rests on the revelation of the mysteries of The Kingdom
The only basis of The Believer’s faith is on what is written (in the Scriptures), not on mere assumptions.
The outcome and the quality of your life depends on your access to light (illumination from the Scriptures.
The foundation of faith must be what God has said.
There is no confusion as to the fact that God rewards.
It is important to know that :
1. God is a Rewarder
2. He gives rewards to certain people
As Believers, we seek God and pursue the things of The Kingdom primarily because of our love for God.
However, it is important to note that there is a possibility for The Believer to get rewarded for certain feats.
What does it mean to reward?
To reward means to give something to someone, in recognition of service, effort, contribution, or achievement.
It is in the heart and character of God to reward a Believer.
Mathew 19:27-30 (KJV)
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 everyone 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 a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life.
30. But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 (KJV)
7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith:
8. henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
God’s reward principle is both a human principle and a divine principle.
According to Scripture, there are three main things God rewards:
1. Diligent pursuit.
(Hebrews 11:6, Jeremiah 29:13)
Any and every kind of diligent pursuit is rewarded by God.
2. Faithfulness.
(Matthew 29: 14-30, Galatians 6:9, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2)
Well-doing is a seed and there is a harvest attached to it. Just as God rewards faithfulness, men also reward faithfulness.
3. The works of men, particularly the purity and the motive behind the things they do as well as the degree of compliance to patterns. (Revelation 22:12, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15)
It is important for Believers to be aware of God’s reward system; ignorance of this system will make God look unjust.
God designed the reward system of the Kingdom to function based on the discovery, development, refining, and the deployment of your gift.
Proverbs 18:16 (KJV)
A man’s gift maketh room for him And bringeth him before great men.
The word ‘Gift’ does not only mean a presentation; it also means your value, skill, potential, and ability.
Everything in your life that constitutes an advantage to your life and can be deployed to serve the purposes of God and can be a blessing to humanity is considered a gift.
Your value (skill, potential, and ability) determines who seeks you and the extent of your reward.
The proof that you have not developed your value is that people are unaffected by your absence.
The reward system of The Kingdom is connected to value.
Knowing you are gifted is not enough, you must pay the price to refine and develop your gifts.
Your reward and honour lies in the refinement and deployment of your gifting.
What do you do with the gift of God in your life?
1. Discover it
2. Develop it
Sacrifice is the language of Champions. You must be prepared to go through the furnace of affliction in order to develop your gift.
You will need to devote a lot of time and energy, spiritually and mentally to develop your gift.
There is a great need for ample time of prayer and capacity building in the Spirit realm when developing your gift.
A mediocre’s excuse is to transfer blames to the realm of the spirit.
As long as you continue to justify mediocrity, you’ll grow in anger, jealousy, envy, and bitterness toward those who are rising and paying the price of growth in secret.
As a believer, there are things God will never say to you in public. You must painstakingly learn to seek Him alone in order to hear from Him.
If you do not know God as The Rewarder, compromise becomes inevitable.
God can decide to schedule a season of reward for you through what He has placed in your hand. (Exodus 4:2)
He uses what you possess for your influence.
Exodus 4:17 (KJV)
And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
The value of the anointing is evident when it comes on a prepared vessel.
What God has put in your hand, is enough to open the gates of your destiny.
Anything can lift you if you refine it!
When going through your season of training, do not be ashamed of your tears. Go through it with gallantry and honour, there is a reward awaiting you!
When it has to do with refining your value, do not stop until you’re competent enough to serve kings.
Pray: Lord, I hand over my passion, value, skills, and abilities to you. I obtain the grace to refine, discover and develop them.
The reward system of the Kingdom is based on God’s ability to anoint your value, skill, and ability.
Rewards are received when the anointing comes upon an ability that’s developed, refined, and ready to be deployed.
The union between the supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit coming upon your value, skill, ability, and gifting that has been discovered developed, and refined with pain, patience, and sacrifice, that’s what schedules seasons of rewards in the Kingdom.
