A rewarded work

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. Happy happy happy new month. May this be a month where you will experience the great grace of God, in Jesus name, amen.

Primary Text

“The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward.” 1 Corinthians 3v13-14 (AMP)

As 1 Corinthians 3v8 (AMP) says “He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor. The Bible is thus telling us that for the labor one does, there will be a reward. However, the work you do will be tested by fire to see of what sort it is. If this work is tested and it abides, the builder receives a reward. Hallelujah. What sort of work are you doing? Is it a shoddy work? I am reminded of these verses:

Supplementary Text

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly. I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9v24-27 (NIV)

Prayer

King of glory, we thank You for Your Word this day. We thank You for the work of our hands. Father, we pray for the grace to do an enduring work that can be rewarded in Jesus name, amen.
