It
pleases God when we believe that He is the giver, the blesser and that “He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Such was the faith of Ruth the
Moabitess. When she decided to make the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob her
God, she found Him to be her rewarder, who lovingly provided for her, divinely
guided her, jealously protected her, gloriously redeemed her from her hopeless
situation and richly restored her life.
Today,
this same God says to you that He is your rewarder. And when He is involved in
your life, you will be amply rewarded. Peter, the fisherman, would testify to
that. His fishing boat, which represented his life, caught nothing the whole
night. But in the morning, when the boat was returned to him after he had
loaned it to Jesus, it was no longer the same boat. It was anointed, blessed
and so magnetized that a great number of fish was attracted to it. In fact, he
received a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish (Luke 5:1–11)!
Beloved,
because God is your rewarder, if He borrows your “boat” even for a while, be
assured that He will surely return it to you with a supernatural increase. Even
if what you give Him is little, when placed in His hands, it will return to you
blessed, anointed and multiplied.
This
happened to the little boy who gave Jesus his lunch of five barley loaves and
two fish. It must have thrilled the boy to see his small lunch supernaturally
multiplied and satisfying not just him, but 5,000 men, not counting the women
and children, and even leaving behind 12 baskets full of leftovers (see John
6:1–13).
Beloved, believe that God is a rewarder. When you give Him your finances, time, possessions and abilities, know for sure that He will return them to you blessed, anointed and multiplied! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
