DIVINE PAYMENT



READ: JOHN 14:1-14
Time equals life. Time wasted means life wasted. Every time you waste a day of your life, your life gets wasted. Any day that is not usefully spent for the Lord is a fraction of your life wasted. You cannot bring back the days you have wasted, no matter your anointing and holiness. So do any assignment given to you with all your strength. Let there be no more wasted time and opportunities. Remember, God is a rewarder. We cannot find a better partner than the Lord Jesus Christ. He rewards with money, divine health, strength, wisdom; and, if you really want it, He can reward you with popularity. The fact that the Lord is a rewarder is stated several times in the Scriptures. Psalm 34:10 says: “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.” Psalm 84:11 says: “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Psalm37:25 says: “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.”He will not only pay you but also pay your children. He will take care of your future. The Bible says: “Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” (2 Kings 2:11). When the time comes for you to retire, He will send His chariots to bring you home. John 14:1-3 says, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were no so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” He has provided a beautiful retirement home for you. It is worthwhile to be in partnership with Jesus Christ; it is a tremendous privilege. Today, the lord is calling you to invest your life and time in His work. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Any divine investment you get into will yield you great dividends.
MEMORIZE: JOHN 5:17 –But Jesus answered them, My Father has been working until now, and have been working.
