UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE DIVINE REWARDS

For religious, the only reward we can expect is spiritual, in the hereafter; But the reality is that our faith has to have results on this earth. There is no real inspiration or motivation to do something, if we do not understand that on this earth we will have results. The psalmist said: I would have fainted if I did not believe that I would see Jehovah's salvation in the land of the living. You faint, you get discouraged, if you do not believe that, on this earth, you will see good results from your actions.

When Jesus Christ went to the cross of Calvary, the Bible says that, at a certain moment, he hesitated in his mind, he thought about what was going to happen, and he says to the Father: If possible, this cup passes from me. But, in a matter of moments, we see him reflect: Do not be my will, but yours. The word tells us that because of the joy before him, he went to the cross. In other words, at that crucial moment of his sacrifice, where he was going to suffer, the Lord presented him with joy, the result of what he would get by going through that sacrifice. Looking at the joy, looking at the result, the reward, it took strength to complete that mission.

Without rewards, we can not move in this life by faith.

Hebrews 11 tells us that, without faith, it is impossible to please God, and that it is necessary that whoever approaches God, believes that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Therefore, to approach God, you have to know that there is reward, that there are results. And those results are not only spiritual, but also natural. Jesus Christ, when he spoke with his disciples, once found a rich young man. And the word says that the young man refused to follow the Master; And the disciples were confronted with an expression of Jesus: How difficult it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven! That caused the disciples to question what they were doing. They went to the Lord and asked what would happen to them then; Which lets you know that the disciples had an economic level different from the others, that they considered themselves prosperous, rich people; And that phrase of the Lord - they thought - excluded them from certain rewards. But the Lord said to them: There is no one who has left home, father, mother and children, who does not receive a hundred times more here and now, and in the hereafter, eternal life. Here we see that the reward that God has for you, is not only in the spiritual world, but also in the earthly one.

When you are aware of the rewards of your decisions, of your actions, and you realize that the Almighty God, whom you serve, wants the best for you, you begin to make the decisions to be able to achieve those results that He has promised you.

In Matthew 25, we see the parable of the talents. The Lord gave talents to three servants, each according to his ability, and left. Two of them doubled the talents, and to both of them he said: Well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you much; enter into the joy of your lord. But he who received only one, was afraid, and hid it. He was more afraid of a negative result, than the inspiration of a possible reward. When you have no reward consciousness, you allow fear to paralyze you. The word says that the Lord took that talent from the evil servant, and gave it to the one who had more; So, the one who multiplied five talents, finished with eleven: The five that had been given to him, the five that were the result of his multiplication, and still more was added. The one who, unfortunately, did not understand the importance of pursuing a reward, a result, let fear fill his heart, and not only did he not have a reward, but even what he had in his hand, he lost.

To walk in economic freedom, you have to be aware that there is a reward for your life. Fear should not paralyze you. You must pursue a reward, a result. There is reward for you, if you are able to move in faith, regardless of what you are going through.

In Matthew it says, specifically, that the Lord gave them their goods, so we are told about material, natural things. For those who multiplied the goods, there were three things that are the reward of believing God for the resources you hold in your hand, losing the fear and believing that He can use the talents and abilities He has given you:

God is going to bring prosperity and multiplication to your life.
You enter the joy of your Lord. God rejoices when you prosper. Proverbs 10:22 says that the blessing of Jehovah is the one that enriches and does not add sadness with it. When God prospers you, blesses you, comes accompanied with joy, with joy, with enjoyment. Nothing that God gives you produces sadness in your life. If there is something you pursue, if you reach certain goals but there is really no joy within you, it is because you have not yet obtained the true reward of God, which is not only multiplication, but joy within multiplication, learning to live that life of fulfillment and satisfaction; And only God can give you that.
God brings spiritual and natural rewards to your life. Religiosity wants to make you feel condemned, guilty for having positive results; God adds joy in multiplication. Your work is not going to bring more suffering, pain; The reward that God has for you is not only multiplication, it is also joy.

You enter a level of intimacy, of a different relationship with God. You can understand things that you did not understand before, you have a degree of relationship that you could not see before. The man who did not multiply his talent could never see his Lord in another dimension, because of the limitation he had in his mind; His perception of his lord, caused fear, and never came to have a special relationship to this new dimension.
God wants you to prosper, to progress; There must be multiplication in your life; He wants you to experience the joy of the results; And that you have an intimate relationship with Him, that otherwise you would not have, because you will not be able to understand things that He has for you and that He wants to do with you, until you enter into that new dimension.

One of the things that I love, is not money, it is not material, but to see and know who gives it to me, there is nothing more spectacular that gives you fullness, like having the assurance that God honors your faith, your actions. Then we know that we are his children in whom he has pleasure.
