DON'T MISS YOUR HEAVENLY REWARD.


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DON'T MISS YOUR HEAVENLY REWARD.
.....continue from yesterday

Heavenly Rewards
2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”

A. Eternal

B. Matthew 6:19 “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

C. Crowns

1. The Christians' reward is sometimes mentioned as a "prize" (I Corinthian 9:24), and sometimes as a "crown" (I Corinthians 9:25).

2. Five Crowns may be won:

(1) Incorruptible crown -
for those who discipline the body, as an athlete to achieve great things for God. I Corinthians 9:25-27. Are you one of those that will receive this for discipline your body or you have corrupt your body because of worldly things?

(2) crow of Rejoicing -
for those who win people to Christ. I Thessalonians 2:19,20. How many people have you won for the lord, remember God will reward you, some christian cause other little christian to backslide instead of win more to the fold. God will judge Us all.

(3) crow of Life - for those who love Christ enough to endure temptation. James 1:12; Revelation 2:10. A lot of Christian do not recognise temptations as what they should endure again they call it problem and war, it is better we wake up and pray for divine strength to overcome it.

(4) crow of Righteousness - for those who love Christ's second coming. II Timothy 4:8. As the world goes by, how many of us are expecting Jesus return again, even many christian are denying the fact that Jesus is coming again. Please be ready and be expectant.

(5) crow of Glory -
for pastors and teachers who faithfully feed the flock of God. I Peter 5:2-4. Brethren a lots of pastor and teachers are in our churches but are they faithful and they doing it according to Gods will. Remember there is a reward.
.....I will continue tomorrow

LET US PRAY
FATHER HELP ME TO PLEASE YOU AND NOT TO MISS MY HEAVENLY REWARD IN JESUS NAME
