TOPIC: Rewards At The Second Coming Of Christ (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 18 February 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 16-18
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:31-40 (KJV)
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
MEMORY VERSE: “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” – Matthew 16:27
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
For every disciplined effort, there is a reward.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
THE VOICE OF “GET BEHIND ME, THOU WORKER OF INEQUITIES” WILL NOT BE YOUR PORTION, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
We have established the Scriptural truth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will return. The Scriptures also affirm that when the Second Coming of Christ takes place, He shall bestow rewards on believers. Revelation 22:12 says, “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Let us examine those rewards.

The first reward is that the saints will receive honour from the King (Jesus Christ). What kind of honour will the Lord bestow on His faithful servants? Luke 12:37 provides the answer, “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.”
Second, the saints will fellowship with the King. John 14:3 affirms this in these words, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
Third, every saint of God, at the return of Christ, will have likeness to the King. Philippians 3:20-21 says, “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” It is a wonderful thing to be changed to be like the Soon Coming King and to fellowship with Him.
Another reward that Christ will bestow on the saints when He returns is that they will glory with Him. The Holy Spirit, giving this blessed assurance to believers wrote through Paul that, “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:4).
In addition, the Bible assures that when Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd shall appear, the saints shall receive fadeless crowns (1 Peter 5:4). Finally, when Jesus Christ returns, believers will have the grace to have the beatific vision of God. The “beatific vision” means the eternal and direct visual perception of God. It means seeing God face to face. 1 John 3:2 affirms this, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
My prayer is that you will not miss any of these rewards, in the mighty name of Jesus.
