TOPIC: Your Labour Is Not In Vain (Rhapsody of Realities 15 November 2023)
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister (Hebrews 6:10).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today's MESSAGE:
The Bible says in Proverbs 14:23 that there's profit in all labor. Everything you do or sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel is recorded (Malachi 3:16), and the Lord also rewards you for it. This gave me immense joy decades ago when the Lord showed me that He's not unrighteous to forget my work or labor of love.
I was told I was wasting my time and life by preaching the Gospel and holding crusades in remote villages. But then I saw our opening verse and wept for joy. I praised, screamed, and worshipped the Lord.

Sometimes, you're about the Lord's work, and there seem to be persecutions from all angles. And it's as though you're wasting your time and life; at such times, always remember that God isn't unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love.
He'll reward you for all you do and have done in the propagation of the Gospel. He'll reward you for all your prayers for souls to be saved, your financial contributions to the spread of the Gospel, your personal evangelical efforts to win souls to Christ, and all your sacrifices.
Remember the words of Jesus: "…Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life" (Mark 10:29-30). Your blessing isn't deferred until you reach heaven; it begins here.
Whatever you're doing for the Lord, keep at it. Keep spreading His Word. Keep spreading His righteousness. Keep impacting your world with His glory. Remain steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).
PRAYER
Dear Father, my heart is filled with joy to know that my labor and sacrifices in and for the Kingdom are not in vain! I remain steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that there's a great reward for my labor in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior is one of the best decisions one can take, especially you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus' Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
