THE MESSAGE
GOD’S COMPENSATION : GOD IS NOT A DEBTOR TO ANY MAN
1.REJOICING
Psalms 126:4-6
God gives us rejoicing for all our tears. He turns our sorrows into joy. Whatever we sow in tears we will reap with joy. Our tears are not wasted in the sight of God. He will replace them with abundant joy and happiness.Let us give our sorrows and tears to God and receive His joy in return.
2.REDEMPTION
Job 42:12 Psalms 66:11
God gives us deliverance and redemption from our difficulties . Job experienced terrible loss and tragedy in his life.But God blessed his latter end more than his beginning.God compensated everything that Job suffered for his faithfulness to God.We may go through fire and water. People may ride over our heads. But God will bring us into a wealthy place.
3.REWARD
Romans 8:17-18 Matthew 5:10-12
God gives us great reward for everything we suffer for his sake.Our present suffering cannot be compared with the glory that will be revealed.God is not a debtor to any man. His compensation will be infinitely greater than all our sufferings.There is great reward for all the persecution and false accusations that we endure.
4.RECOMPENSE
Mark 10:28-30
God gives us a hundredfold recompense for all that we sacrifice for His sake.All who have left houses and land and relationships for God’s sake can expect a hundred fold recompense from God.
5.RESTORATION
Joel 2:25-26
God gives us a restoration of all the years that have been wasted.Whatever we lost during wasted years can be restored by God even in a short time.He will give us His abundance to enjoy.
6.REVENGE
Romans 12:19 I Peter 2:23
God gives us an assurance of justice and revenge for all the evil and injustice we have endured.We should not avenge ourselves but practise love and forgiveness even to our enemies.Jesus did not avenge
Himself but commited all things to the one who judges righteously.He prayed for forgiveness for his enemies on the cross.But the history of the Jewish people can reveal the judgement of God.Let us commit our unjust sufferings to the God who ensures justice.
7.RENOWN
Isaiah 61:7
God gives us honour and renown for all the humiliation and shame we have endured.We can see how God compensated Joseph , Daniel ,David and many others for all the humiliation they faced in their lives. He
brought great glory and honour to them.Hannah who faced humiliation because she was barren became the proud mother of prophet Samuel.God is not a debtor to any man. He will compensate abundantly for all the
shame and humilation we face in our life.Let us receive God’s compensation in every area of our life for our God is not a debtor to any man.
