GOD’S REWARD FOR THE RIGHTEOUS SATURDAY APRIL 22
TEXT: MATHEW 19:27-30
Key Verse: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your works and labour of love, which you have showed toward his name in that you have ministered to the saints and do minister” Hebrews 6:10
God rewards the good deeds done by His righteous children. It will be unrighteousness on the part of God not to reward the works of righteousness done by His righteous and faithful children. Therefore believers should not be weary in well doing, for they shall be rewarded in due time, Galatians 6:7-10. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
God rewards the righteous both in this life and in the life to come. In answer to Peter’s inquiry, Jesus said that believers who have forsaken anything (houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, wife, children or lands) for His name’s sake, shall receive faithfully from God. God is not unrighteous to forget our work and labour of love which we have showed toward His name, in ministering to the saints and attending to the work of the gospel.
The believer’s reward is not only in the present blessing material things. There is the reward of eternal life which the Lord has promised to all those who believe in His name, and follow Him faithfully to the end. This should encourage every believer to persevere in the faith and service of Christ unto the end. Even when we die physically in Christ, we will rise up again at the Rapture to live forever with the Lord, Therefore, let us persevere earnestly in the hope of eternal life, heeding the Lord’s warning that many who are first shall be last and the last first. We are to persevere in the truth in righteousness and holiness, and in laboring for the gospel, knowing that God cannot fail.
Thought for the day: Thank God my labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Song for the day: Until I reach my home (2x), I will never never stop my journey half way….
Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 4-6; Luke 18:18-43

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
