Yesterday morning I walked to church, btw the weather was great after almost 2 weeks of spring rain. I love my prayer walk time to church; I always have a great time with Jesus while walking to church. I got this revelation that morning. We can only honor God with our sufferings/persecution while we are living on earth, because once we are in heaven there is no tears, no sufferings and no sorrow. There will not be any opportunity to honor God with hardship in heaven! We can only get rewards while we are on earth; there is no rewards given in heaven!
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:1-5)
Hope in Christ is the end picture!
Rewards from the Lord is my end goal!
Who runs a race doesn't expect for a reward? Stop being religious or hypocritical!
I will exchange my persecutions with crowns and rewards. Only through sufferings I can honor God, only when I honor God I get my rewards. I don't welcome sufferings but I do love God's mercy and His goodness when I am in one. Whenever a trial hits, I get to see God's goodness and His unfailing love. I am encouraged to face any trials when I get to see His glory over my hardship, which is something I won't be able to experience once I am in heaven. In heaven, I believe that I will remember every trials I go through; and Jesus will celebrate my victory with me and angels.
I live to be faithful in honoring God during my tribulation.
That's my revelation while walking to church. Not sure if the reader can get it.
