TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 6: Your Reward Is On The Way
Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”
Bible Reading: Luke 15:31-32
“31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”
Yesterday, we saw how committed servant felt when an uncommitted fellow (the Prodigal Son) was welcomed with the fatted calf. He made his anger known. He felt he wasn’t appreciated with all his commitment since the prodigal son left with his Inheritance. Many believed he refuse to ask his father what he deserve and that was why he was complaining, but I want to draw our attention to what the father said,
“31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.”
“Son, You are always with me” simply means, “You have been serving me”, I recognise your services, so, therefore, “All I have is yours”, you still own all I have as a reward of your service.
What l like us to know is that, service can’t go unrewarded,
Rev. 22:12, says,
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.”
“His Work” here stands for “His Service”: Your Service, My service, Our service. Mind you, the prodigal son has no service yet, he was only welcomed back. With the experience he has acquired, he also will resume to full time service just as His elder brother.
Are you discouraged that your services are not appreciated or recognised? Remember, God is the rewarder and not the man/woman you are serving. He will pay you your reward in due time. Don’t be discourage. Don’t relent. Keep serving, your reward is on the way. I pray for someone going through this devotional today, that the drop in your zeal for God, will be restored back in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Morning.
