HEAVENLY HONOUR
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:4)
Dearly beloved, Lord Jesus will honor us by giving us rewards for the things we do for Him. How will He honour us? “He will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them” (Luke 12:37). That is the gift awaiting us in heaven. So let us rejoice! The Scripture exclaims, “For great is your reward in heaven…” (Matthew 5:12).
My father used to speak often about my uncle, the late Brother George. While he was struggling for life in the hospital, my father was also in great agony due to his heart ailment. We were in great fear as to what would happen.
One day, my father had a vision while he was lying in his bed. My uncle was climbing upstairs very elegantly dressed. An angel of the Lord was leading him. When my father asked him: “Annan, where are you going?” he replied: “I hear a lovely song above. I go there.” When my father said: “Annan, there is a lot of work for you here. Please do it,” he answered: “Yes, I will come.” But within two days, my uncle entered into the presence of God.
My father saw in the vision an angel of God waiting to receive him. He was introducing everyone who was entering heaven while Lord Jesus was seated on a golden throne. When my uncle’s turn came he was introduced: “King George Everlasting is here.” Lord Jesus stood up and embraced him saying: “My son! How much have you suffered for Me! What impressed Me most in you is how much you have suffered in arranging the ‘Jesus Calls’ Good News meetings. You must know that through you, several lakhs have come into heaven.”
The Lord then escorted my uncle to the place that had been prepared for him saying: “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!” (Matthew 25:21).
Friend! If we have done anything for Lord Jesus, we will greatly rejoice. The blessings we enjoy are not meant for this world alone. Lord Jesus has prepared greater blessings for us in heaven. "He will reward each person according to what he has done" (Matthew 16:27). So let us be exceedingly glad.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
You have created me with a purpose. I fully surrender my life to You. Help me to know your will and give me your grace to lead my life according to your will. Accomplish your will in my life. Help me to lead countless people towards You. Enable me to live for your glory. Crown me with your reward in eternity. Give me the grace to inherit the greater blessings which You have in store for me in heaven.
In Your matchless name I pray.
Amen.
