The word for today is - Reward !

Good morning, 
The word for today is - Reward !
Lets start with, Matthew 6:1-8,Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.Our Heavenly Father knows everything that we need the word says, God will supply all your needs,read Philippians 4:19,But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  So, why are you asking our Heavenly Father to meet your needs? Are you calling God a lier? Read Numbers 23:19,God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? The word says God can not lie! His word says, He will meet all of your needs, if He spoke it, its done. God, will not break His covenant, read Psalm 89:34,My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. In others words,the Lord is saying,I will not violate my word. You must have faith to believe, God's word, read Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. You can not doubt His word,doubt is the opposite of faith. Read Matthew 21:21-22, this is Jesus teaching and speaking to His disciples,Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Do you hear the word speaking to your heart? Do you not know that you are a disciple of Christ? If you believe and follow Him, lets look at Abraham, read Romans 4:1-3,What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. When we believe that God is a Rewarder, then we understand that He lavishes His unlimited resources. We believe that He can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can imagine or think,read Ephesians 3:19-20,And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Its the Spirit of God dwelling in us,its His word. We must pray to our Heavenly Father everyday, you have to make a decision, do you trust God or do you trust in "man's" ways? The word says, He will reward only them that diligently seek Him, and Him along.Jesus is clear about those who profess to follow Him, He is not speaking about unbelievers, they never looked to Him for anything, read Matthew 7:21-23,Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. This means, speaking the word and not living the word or applying the word to your life is lawlessness!  So, the group that Jesus is speaking of here, those who are prophesying, casting out demons and doing miracles in the name of Christ, are the very people who profess to be believers, profess to be followers of Christ, but are transgressing the law, they are guilty of lawlessness. They are not real believers, and, in fact, they are the second Beast in the book of Revelation chapter 13 read it for yourself,it says they are like the Lamb-like beast (they appear to be believers) but they speak as a dragon (they have the character and message of Satan - the dragon) a lie or they are liers. God says, my word is truth, read Psalm 119:160,Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. God says, the Scripture cannot be broken,read John 10:35,If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken. Last thing you need to read is Revelation 22:18-19,For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. This is the sound or command of God.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
