Where the Reward Lies

For I tell you a secret, son. I give you a key to my kingdom this day. I tell you a secret in the spirit. Does not the Word say that the secret things belong unto the Lord our God and that He reveals them unto His Prophets? I give you a key. I give you a secret, son.

And this is the secret that I have for you: people are not rewarded in Heaven for the positions that they hold on earth. I want you to remember this. I want you to remember this and meditated upon this. People are not rewarded in Heaven for the positions that they hold on earth, but they are rewarded in Heaven for how well they fulfill whatever it is I've called them to fulfill. That is where the reward lies.

The widow who gave two mites will receive a greater reward than many pastors, elders, deacons, and leaders and prophets. I have said, I have said, I have said that her story shall never be forgotten. Think on it. Think on it, my son. I said the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Think on it, son.

I am a fair God. I give equal opportunity to all my children whether they realize it or not to prosper and grow in my kingdom and in the eternal kingdom of God. I am a fair father. If you have been given just one talent and another brother has been given ten, then how can I require more reward for him than for you if he is given more to start with? I tell you, it is not based upon what you see accumulated either in the church realm or in the natural realm, but it is based upon how my servants fulfill that which I have called them to fulfill.

Every time I speak to you, son. Every time my spirit deals with you, I will judge you according to how you respond to the Spirit of God. If you respond correctly, my full power and blessing will come upon you regardless of what anyone else says. If you back off and if you delay or it you are slow in doing as I show you, then my blessings will be according to that. And all of these things shall be added up at the end of your time here on earth and I will determine you reward in Heaven according to your obedience to Me. So fear not. You have not lost a bit of ground with Me.

And never, never compare yourself with another ministry, son. Never compare yourself with another man of God, whether he be greater or lesser. If you compare yourself to the greater man, you're going to feel inferior. If you compare yourself to the lesser man, you're going to feel superior. Son, I've not called you to compare yourself to people. I've called you to fulfill my will. Now, get your eyes off of men, get your eyes off of ministries, and get your eyes on the thing I've called you to do and do it with all of your might and please God to the fullest.

For though you were the lowest, I had my eyes on you. I've called you and ordained you and you've pleased me. You've had a rough existence, son, but you shall go to your grave in peace and joy. I've already ordained that; that will not change. You have pleased Me as Abraham has. You have kept your faith and marched through your trials and covered yourself with the Blood and picked yourself up and walked with Me. I love you and I will be with you to the end of your life.
