Rewards come from God

"The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness..."

1 Samuel 26:23

When you walk in, follow, and pursue righteousness and faithfulness, the rewards from God will be many; full of Life and filled with Light. 

Lend to many...rule over many

”However, there should be no poor among you, for the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if you only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands... For the Lord your God will bless you as he promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.  You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.”

Deuteronomy 15:4-6

Follow God, obey his commands, give openly and with a happy heart to the poor and needy.  In turn, you will be the lender to many, never being the one needing the lend; you will rule over many, never being the one to be ruled over.  

Friends, be generous with one another, for you cannot go wrong when you do -  it guarantees the attention and affection and blessing and prosperity of God - 

OH, he is so, so good!!

Want to be blessed abundantly? Then, obey God - do what he says

"If you fully obey the Lord you God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.  All these blessings will com upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord you God:

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

the fruit of your womb will be blessed, and crop of your land and the young of your livestock...

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you.  They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to.  The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

The Lord will establish you as his holy people... all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.  The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity...

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.  You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.  The Lord will make you the head and not the tail... You will always be at the top, never at the bottom.  Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them."

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

The blessings of God come when you look to him, listen to him, and follow him, and him alone!

Finding purpose tip of the day: Persevere!!

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 NIV

Verse copies from Bible.com

Keep moving forward towards your victories and purposes God has planned for your life. 

Let nothing and no one hold you back!

Persevere!!! 

Many are called...

“For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14 AMP

To find out if you’ve been called on by God, all you have to do is analyze your intentions.  Do you have intentions of joy, peace, abundance, love, prosperity, giving, forgiveness, mercy, grace, and faith for your future?  Or, are you thinking thoughts of dread, worry, selfish desire, guilt, sin, resentment, pain, and sickness?  If you are finding yourself thinking the latter of the intentions, then it is time to re-analyze.

Sadly, some of us have filled our minds with so much darkness, and ungodly intentions that we’ve become blind to the call of God.  So, it’s time to let the Light come in – it is time to push the darkness out.  Friend, you are His chosen child and you can start fresh; ask God to come into your heart and forgive you your sins - He will - He wants to!

Yes, God forgives you, He loves you, He wants what is the best for you, and He has an amazing call for you.  So, answer Him and hang up on the world, because your life now, and in eternity, depend on it.

Strive to enter through the narrow gate

“Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:24 AMP

The narrow door is the gateway to Heaven, to God’s heart, and to eternal salvation; those who enter through it leave legacies of blessings to many a people.  

So strive, every day, to be a blessing to everyone around you – give them a glimpse of God, so that when you are called, you will be one of the few who get to walk through the beautiful, narrow gates to Heaven.

Although your sins are many...

“Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her ...”

Luke 7:47 AMP

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, who you are, or who you know - when you are ready to follow Christ, He lovingly accepts and approves of you just the way you are. So, be who He has created you to be, and stop being what the world wants you to be.

My friend, God adores you and He is patiently waiting for you to let Him love you, bless you, heal you, and set you free… so, run to Him.
