Title: The Reward
By: Daniel Peter
Date: July 16, 2024
Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:24 KJV
Yesterday, I wrote about receiving the reward, where I mentioned several rules of engagement we have to imbibe so we will be qualified to receive the reward. Today, I am going to reveal the reward.
Just like in the natural, the children of the household do not necessarily serve for rewards. A hired servant may serve for their wages (reward), but the children serve simply in honor of their parents and because it’s their responsibility. Though the parents may reward their children, they don’t have to before the children are required to serve.
However, children are the heirs of their parents. This means all that the parents have is theirs, though they have to grow to maturity before they can access it. Therefore, the reward of one who serves their parents is the right of heirship. A child who doesn’t serve his or her parents may lose this right, as a parent can disown a child and refuse to make him or her their heir. Such ones who are rejected are called reprobates.
As it is in the natural, so it is in the spirit. As children of God, we are heirs of God (Rom. 8:17). The reward of our service to God is the right of access to the inheritance, as stated in Colossians 3:24 (our opening verse of scripture). This means that service brings us to a place where we can fully access all that God is and all that God has (the fullness of the glory: His character, His Power and His Prosperity).
Consequently, not everyone in God’s household receives this reward. Scripture mentions those who are rejected (reprobates) and those who are illegitimate (see Hebrews 6:4-6, 12:8). By serving and yielding to the discipline of the Father, we prove ourselves as legitimate sons and heirs of Him. This is the reward of our service.
Prayer Point:
Let’s thank God for His word today. Let’s ask Him to help us receive the reward.
