Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving greetings to Jesus in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Today let us see something about the diligent
person and their reward. The bible says the one who do not labor
should not eat. Also the bible says the lazy will not get anything
in times of his need. But the one who is diligent will be rewarded.
Jesus said behold when I come I will reward as per your work.
As the desires of the righteous will be granted the desires of
the diligent are fully satisfied.
The bible talks about the sluggard that he craves and gets nothing
at the same time the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Like wise in the spiritual life also if we are diligent we are
sure to have many souls for the kingdom of God. If one soul truly
repents the heaven will rejoice. The bible also says the one who
wins souls is wise in the sight of God. Jesus said follow me I
will make you fishers of men. Today God is also seeking a diligent
person who can work diligently for his kingdom, for his kingdom
is not of earthly kingdom but heavenly kingdom. He will reward
as per our deed when he comes back in the second coming. How many
of us can say with assurance that we will be receiving a reward
when Christ comes. Jesus said do not treasure up in this world
but in heaven so your reward will be greater in heaven.
First of all, The lazy man will certainly become poor but the
diligent hands bring wealth as in Prov 10:4, “Lazy hands
make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Secondly,
the outcome of the diligent is they will be ruling whereas the
lazy will end in slave labor as in Prov 12:24 diligent hands will
rule, but laziness ends in slave labor. Thirdly, if we are a diligent
person the out come of it is surely we will be progressing as
in 1 Tim 4:15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly
to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
We ought to be content in our life since the diligent will be
always content or satisfied fully. The bible itself says one who
is diligent will be satisfied or content Paul writes like this
Phil 4:11 & 12, “I am not saying this because I am in
need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have
plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and
every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in
plenty or in want.”
May the Lord bless each one of us today, as we follow Him diligently
on this earth. Because the desires of the diligent is fully satisfied
by our almighty God. Amen.
