Topic — Count On It; It’s Sure! [Our Daily Manna ODM Saturday, March 31, 2018]
Basic Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:1-8
Oswald Sanders once wrote: “The crown is awarded to those who have completed the Christian race with integrity, with eye fixed on the coming Lord. It is the reward for fulfilling the mystery entrusted to one.” Welcome to Today’s devotion, an encouragement concerning your labour for the Lord! Paul boldly declared in vs. 8 of today’s scripture:” there is laid up for me.”
Not, there might be” Or there is a silent chance,” but, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only but to all those who love his appearing.” The word ‘IS’ can also be “SO SURE or VERY SURE.” Hallelujah call this the sure prize and I also call it the BLESSED ASSURANCE. Sometimes we ask, “Is there really a heaven?” But never, never forget the experience many years ago of the global, financial services firm, Lehman Brothers.
It is an example of shaky reporting (to put it kindly). It hides more than $50 billion in cash. When the subprime mortgage crisis hit the world 2007, Lehman Brothers was forced into bankruptcy and was acquire by Barclays (BCS) and Nomura Holdings (NMR). Just like when other banks or popular PONZI investment failed in the past, customers that were promised good results (dividends) on investments were disappointed and some committed suicide. That is the prize of man!
As you and your family do this work of the Lord, the prize that awaited Paul is also your portion. GOD IS NOT A MAN! Peter, James, Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Smith Wiggles worth, Kenneth Hag in, Oral Roberts, IDAHOSA, Ayo BABALOLA, etc, got it and you too will. Count on it, plan on it. Wait for it. It is sure! Your labour shall not be in vain. Be watchful, because: Our present choice, determines our future rewards. Pray now!
