Dear Friend, I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. I am doing very well and thankful to the Lord for His continued blessings upon this work that is founded under His name. The Lord has blessed our Ministry in many ways, but the main way the blessings are shown are in receiving the many responses from our members telling us that they are being encouraged and inspired to continue their walk with the Lord and more so to go all out in being all that God wishes for them to be. I pray that each of our dear members continues to receive the encouragement and inspiration of the Lord to believe in themselves as God believes in them and to continue on in life with a renewed and refreshed determination. To God be all the glory, honor and praise now and forevermore. The Lord has spoken to my heart to write a message on the rewards that He has promised to all those who endure and continue to live a life of righteousness for His Name's sake. If discouragement has found a way into your life, then I hope this message encourages your heart to continually look to the Lord and remember that His reward is one that will last for all eternity and promises to greatly overshadow the trials and tribulations that were brought before you on the earth. Keep strong in His promise and remember that greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 2:9, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. Imagine the greatest of mansions filled with the most beautiful of artifacts that can ever be constructed even with the most delicate of craftsmanship. Even this great achievement does not come close to the beauties of what God has prepared as a just reward for a life lived in righteousness. Think of the most beautiful sounds you have ever heard whether it be as simple as a bird singing, or as great as the music of composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin and others. Even this great company of music does not compare to the sounds that are promised to be heard in the Eternity of heaven. (John 14:1-3) (1 Peter 1:3-9) Keep your eyes and faith focused on the Lord at all times. Staying faithful to the Lord does not only preserve our life here on the earth, but also is promised to bring Joy's unspeakable in heaven. I believe the Lord promises His great rewards because He knows of our emotions, but still wants us to continue on the right path that leads to life. It is only normal for us to get discouraged at times and want to give up and give in. Many of God's great servants questioned their calling and even wondered if God had picked the right person for the job. We must remember that God is all knowing and He knows of our strengths even while we ourselves sometimes question and even doubt them. (Proverbs 3:1-8) (Exodus 4:10-12) (Jeremiah 1:4-10) Never fall into the trap of wanting to give up and do things the way the world does them. Living a life of righteousness requires us to travel on the narrow road of life. The Lord Jesus declares in Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. The Lord is always honest in that He tells us that life is not going to be simple and easy, but still His reassurance that all is well is a gift that I have relied on many times. His strengthening is what gives us strength to continue on. The road of life is hard, but the end result will lead to life and not destruction and an eternity in heaven with the Lord. (Psalm 15:1-5) (Revelation 21:1-8) (John 16:33) Let this message be an encouragement to you to stay faithful in every area that God has placed you in. You may question your life at times, but never allow the voice of discouragement to make you want to quit or give up. The Lord knows you better than you know yourself and has well-equipped you to handle every trial and tribulation that may come before you. Rejoice in the goodness of the Lord and know that His love for you reaches beyond even the greatest borders and is one that will last for all eternity. Such great Love is incomprehensible, but still thankfully exists to all who will receive. (Psalm 91:1-4) (1 Corinthians 1:26-31) (Jeremiah 31:3) Read and meditate on these scriptures: John 14:1-3 Jesus declares, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 1 John 4:4-6 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Revelation 22:12-14 Jesus declares, And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing. All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
