Sudden Awards, Bounties and Distinctions Are Here
““So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’”
Matthew 20:8 NKJV
All of a sudden it was over, the work day had come to an end. The length of the work day was different for each group as they had been called at different times throughout the day. (The end of the “work day” can symbolize the end of a season). Rewards for diligence were handed out. Interestingly they were not based on duration but simply on faithfulness.
Triumphantly we have entered a season of reward, promotion and attainment. Many of you will be astounded at the depth of the complex mix of giftings the Lord has generously invested in you. You will ask God “what is this?”, “what do You call this?”, “I have never seen anything like this before”.
By faith we enter the new season.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
Take a moment now and look up. Gaze higher into the Heavens. Our God holds overflowing abundance. Owning the Key of David He is The Door Opener to your future. As you past through the new doors, doors to your past are closed and no man can come along and open them again! The evidence has dissolved! The new has begun!
“How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.”
Psalms 31:19 NLT
The Lord’s generosity is bountiful, excessive and extravagant. Search for every tiny portion you see activated in your life. Celebrate it! In your process of search and celebration His goodness will multiply over your life.
“To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”
Matthew 25:29 NLT
Everything you have given to God in the past season He will multiply back to you in this one.
We serve an extravagant God who lovingly rewards faithfulness.
