Unfeigned Love Series

“Who does God’s Work will get God’s pay. However long may be the day, however weary be the way. Though powers and kings thunder at will, who does God’s work will get God’s pay.

He does not pay as others pay… But God in His wisdom knows the way, and that is sure, let come what may. Who does God’s work gets God’s pay. (Knights Treasury of 2,000 Illustrations)

Many a child of God has learned that the Lord never rewards us for our labors unto Him and for Him as we think He will. Payment does come when we choose to wait upon Him and just do what we are called to do.

In Closing: The Apostle Paul presents a sobering truth that produces a reverent fear of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:10 says,

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

Unfeigned love finds its foundation in a reverent fear of the Lord. Christians who exercise it regularly seek the whole counsel of God’s Word, not wanting to be labeled with Judas Iscariot, having a heart that only has a form of Godliness.

Unfeigned love enables Christians seeing other Christians who in need as opportunities to minister to Christ. Christians see those who do not know Christ personally as opportunities to present the love of God in practical ways. This enables everyone to grasp the whole picture of true worship unto the Lord.

Unfeigned love moves the Body of Christ to become very active in looking for people to serve, doing all they can, by any means, in all ways, in all places, at all times, to all people, and for as long as they can.

Unfeigned love birth’s an awareness of accountability – thus preparing the heart for God’s rewards.

Unfeigned love causes the child of God to examine the motives for which he enters into service to the Lord. Doctor Howard H. Hamlin wrote in an article titled, “What Motivates Your Service?”

“It is said that Wendell Wilkie asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt, ‘Mr. President why do you keep that frail, sickly man, Harry Hokins, at your elbow.’ The President replied, ‘Through that door flows daily a constant stream of people who almost always wants something from me, all Harry wants to do is serve me.” That is unfeigned love!!!!!

The church is full of activities, programs and projects, all being blanketed in prayer to God, in Christ’s name for Holy Spirit anointing. The Lord is not looking for people who are always petitioning Him. He places at His elbow, Christians who want to serve Him. Jesus said, “The greatest among you will be your servant. (Matthew 23:11)

Let us pray!!!!
