If we dey serve God na wetin we gain?

Many times :
Those who don't serve God would take a glimpse on some of those who do ,and what they WERE ABLE to see sometimes encourages them to keep following the path they've been threading
which is to trust in themselves ,live according to their own wisdom ,and carry out actions in the way they deem fit .
Because to them "godliness should be a means to gain something for themselves without considering the laws or desires of god . (1Timothy.6:5)

While some of those who do serve God too
Would sometimes check on those who don't have time for god or believe in god ,and compare their progress ,success, worth ,or personality with them ,
And many times they felt discouraged by the result they saw these people have but they don't have .
They are tempted to backslide, change a little ,or compromise in one way or another in order to fit into the kind of class or status they desire to be .

Yesterday was the end of an old season
Today is the beginning of a new season .

So folk were talking about their progress ,and their loses ,their efforts and their rewards.
But for some peoples nothing seems to be working ,nothing seems to change.
-it is as if they are under a curse or an unknown force is working against them .

Some believed that others made it by diabolic means and are now thinking of giving up on God to also go diabolic or crime .
If I dey serve god but I no get money wetin I gain ?
People wey no know god dey prosper pass me ,a beg who god help ?
Man no come life come look bridge
I no go carry last ,we go follow make am.!

It is a good thing to be disturbed by your lack of progress ,but much more it is a better thing to find out and know the reason for your delay or backset .
It could be for a blessing .
it could be because of a curse ,or because of your own action or because it not yet time or because you slacked in taking the right actions .

God has his own time for each one of us
so let's not be jealous of the success of others or allow their progress to force us to seek promotion in an ungodly way before our time .

People of God!
Do not envy the evil doers or those who chose not to acknowledge their creator .
but wait upon the lord and pray that he renew your strength .
,and you shall mount up with wings like the eagle above all the swan of the waters,above the fowls of the field ,and above birds of the air ,and the glory of your later days shall be greater than the former .

Back to the question:if we dey serve God na wetin we gain ?
Answer
1 Timothy 6:6
[6]Now godliness with contentment is great gain.


The prayer.
Isaiah 33:2
[2]O Lord, be gracious to us; We have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

Amen in Jesus name .
Happy new year to you all .

Blessed days ahead

When Jesus started this movement his friends never thought there could be anything special not until they started to recount their loss:

©They have to follow Jesus going preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all the land of Israel while others are busy struggling to make money. They only rely on whatever the people gives them as gifts for their uninvited visits.

©Their rulers who are teachers of the law view themselves as God's representatives, Jesus did not pass through their rabbinic school so they felt Jesus is not qualified to teach God's word therefore they expel anyone who profess to believe (trust) in Jesus from their synagogues. Meaning such a person will be treated as an infidel in his own community! John 9:22

© Since Jesus' teachings is totally strange to everyone unlike the ones they're used to, Jesus was viewed as a madman by majority {John 10:20} even by his own family {Mark 3:21} this makes it more difficult for anyone to identify himself with Jesus.

But despite all these Jesus' closest confidants strongly believe that only Jesus' teaching can lead anyone to everlasting life! John 6:66-68

So back to your question:

Out of curiosity Peter and other friends of Jesus looked at him and asked this same question you're asking today:

“Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27

Will you like to know the answer Jesus gave him and how you can be sure that you're also part of those putting faith in Jesus today?

May you have PEACE!

What you wrote were well written
And the answer Jesus gave him was
Mark 10:29-31
[29]So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,
[30]who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
[31]But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Now I think you should ask yourself wether it is truly Jesus you are following or another Jesus who was created out of the imagination of a certain man .

Make sure it is the kingdom that you will inherit at the end and not that place you claimed a loving god can't send a human to .

Don't end up there be for you realize you were heading there all this days .

Do you have the assurance that you're for Jesus or it's just some emotional feelings that all other religionists do have?
Because Jesus said something that's very very crucial there that i want you to note.
But if you feel you don't need it it's OK!

My own assurance is beyond the tradition and philosophies of men concorted by Satan in womb of hell .

John said
"We declare unto you things we have seen ,things we have heard ,and things we have handled of the word of live .
That is my testimony.

Whereby some chose to argure with indoctrinated knowledge that they foolishly believed because of parental or ancestral line .

I have seen him who has the word of eternal life .
But a bird wants to tell a fish how the belly of the deep looks like .
It's a great contradiction.

It might just be to late before you realize the truth .

If you discern the truth now that you are alive you will have someone to blame
But if it's the other way
You will blame yourself for refusing to be free from the bondage they tag for you as freedom .

Obviously the emotional feelings is causing a big problem, but for the benefit of followers on the thread i'll substantiate further on Jesus' reply to Peter!

Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. Mark 10:29-30

Back then in the first century there was lots of contradictions throughout the land of Israel regarding who is on the side of the true God.
Everyone was claiming they have the truth, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Scribes and many other Rabbis in Israel apart from John's disciples who were also envious of Jesus' group.
So what did Jesus say will be the proof of assurance that it's Jesus' disciples that are on the side of the true God?
Note that they will receive power when God's Holy Spirit land on them and they will become preachers and teachers of what Jesus taught them {Act 1:8} but it's not all of them that will receive such gifts. so Jesus' promise to all of them is a hundred fold of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
Of course Peter and the others knew very well that what Jesus is saying can't be possible within Israel where 80% of the populace hated Jesus and his group so they need to know how it's going to work after all Jesus' promise never fail.
Well they're the ones that's going to work for the fulfilment of that promise to become their own.
How?
Through their preaching and teaching they will gather people from all races throughout the earth and they will become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4 1-3} due to the understanding among them they will speak as if the same language {Zephaniah 3:9} then what Jesus prayed for which is oneness in thought will become possible no matter how many his disciples become on this planet! John 17:20-23

So whoever finds himself in such a group producing these FRUIT {Matthew 7:16-18} only need to do one thing: keep his faith strong because the assurance is certain.

May you have PEACE!

May you also not receive condemnation in the place of peace

There is no condemnation in the midst of God's people!
That's why ancient servants of God always love to be in the midst of the Holy Ones {Daniel 7:27} i already have the assurance, it as certain as the rising of the sun!
They have gathered people in millions from all races under the earth and brought them to their God, and all those under their supervision have beaten their swords into plowshares and vowed never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Just as Jesus foretold millions of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES throughout the earth have the same line of thought with their God! John 17:22

And they are treating one another like one big family! Matthew 12:46-50

If you have anything better just tell me instead of all these your emotional trauma that's not based on accurate knowledge of God's word! Romans 10:2-3

I'm back!

you don't call the conviction of the holy spirit within your heart trauma,
it felt like a trauma because it has been denied you for long so that you can have it where it doesn't matters weather your are willing to make amendments or not .


you already have an assurance of a thing you denied ?
you say there is no condemnation to a people who are holy ,but you denied the same spirit who makes one holy

you denied him !

how then where you able to arrive at this assurance of yours ?

because it is written
Romans 1:3-4
[3]concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
[4]and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, by the resurrection from the dead.

HISSCRIBE1995:

By their FRUIT {Matthew 7:16-18} this means visible WORKS! James 2:18
Where are the visible WORKS of your so called spirit?

I'm back ooo

For us to live is Christ
To die is gain

HMMM

Happy new year me people

TO LIVE IS CHRIST TO DIE IS GAIN

WE WAIT ON YOU
