My assignment in the Earth is to create Kingdom Rulers – people who will help Christ bear His eternal assignment as King of The World. In order to get to that place, a distinct difference must be made between salvation and works. The vast majority of believers live “saved” but they don’t have a resume of Kingdom Works. Others, that are on the battlefield for the Lord, have learned to enterprise their gifts and talents into a career that earns them great wealth. Jesus is clear as to standard of this judgment, as it requires total abandonment of personal pleasures; those people who won’t minister unless they are paid for it have their reward already. You should know that it is normal for us to do those things that are to His benefit alone. For such actions, He will reward us with an eternal Kingdom Assignment of ruling His People. Listen to this episode with an open mind and listen for your call as a Kingdom Ruler of Christ. (Scripture References: Eph. 2:8, Numbers 11:16 & 17, Rev. 22:12, Luke 19:11-27)
We are looking at the words of our Lord, Savior, and soon coming King - Jesus Christ - as He communicates to us the things that will hinder our rewards; possibly to the degree of losing everything that we would have worked for while on Earth. We also look at the revelations given to the apostle Paul to help us understand "suffer loss." There are many bad practices that have been introduced to the Body of Christ that will rob us of our eternal rewards. Let's take a listen and make the necessary changes!
We conclude last week's episode answering the questions: Are there people that are not earth-bound? And, will the earth-bound people love Jesus. Having this information is critical for believers as we will serve these natural humans and knowing we will forever live in a "state-of-the-art-body" - that will never grow old, get sick, or rebel against our precious Jesus. What a reward!
There will be people that come through the Tribulation Period not having taken the mark of the beast. It is this people that will make up a class of individuals call "The Earth-bound." They will enter into the joy of the Lord, but they will never experience the glory of the New Jerusalem. Learn today who they are and why they are earth-bound.
As we continue expounding on the EJIM mandate, we discuss the awesome privilege of the reward of reign. Each believer that has sufficiently worked for the Kingdom during their earthly lives will be given cities to govern, helping Christ remove the Earth of all enemies of God. You will reign with Jesus in His Divine Government!
Scriptures: Revelation 20:4; I Corinthians 15: 24-28; Isaiah 2:1-4; 2 Timothy 2:12a
We are looking at our mandate: Preparing you for the world to come. Most Christians have no clue what to expect when this life is over and how important the current life is to their eternal assignments. We take a look at St. Matthew 25 and St. Luke 19 to better understand what both require of us in service to Jesus Christ and our intangible and tangible rewards if we get it right!
