We must stand rejoicing in the Lord to take delivery of our rewards in Christ.
God has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain
I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 44:19
Habakkuk 3:17-19. By standing in the place of rejoicing in the Lord, you are guaranteed to enjoy the rewards God has made available for you in Christ.
(Philippians 4:4, I Thessalonians 5:16)
To rejoice means a call to joy. In bible days, rejoice was a salutation. It simply means, choose joy in all things, instead of hopelessness.
Joy is a choice. If you will choose joy, God has no choice but to release your reward.
Deuteronomy 28:48. The harvest of rewards will be lost, if joy is out of place.
There is nothing you are going through that somebody else has not gone through and overcome.
Choose joy. Keep your spirit high in rejoicing. Joel 1:12.
Our rewards will only meet us rejoicing and not complaining.
(1 Corinthians 10:10) Murmuring is risk to our rewards, and to our existence.
We must encourage others to serve God effectively for their establishment. (Psalm 11:3) In the establishment of other believers around us lies our reward. Amen
