For those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service. So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don’t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don’t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen. So, as we read this, every part is good. But, you won’t to stay in, stay aware on what is going on because you don’t wanna stay on one place and this is what coming up next, Amen. So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don’t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.

Alright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Verse 17, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Amen.

We are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let’s go to Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.

Let’s continue, let’s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let’s continue. Verse 2, “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Verse 3, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.

Now, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let’s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.

Alright, let’s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Of course Jesus is talking. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, ” There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:” Verse 43, “It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:” Verse 44, “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We’re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let’s continue, let’s jump down on verse 51, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, (Amen, do you know when you’re in Heaven, you’re not gonna sleep? You’ll be wake all the time, you’ll never get tired, you’ll never get worry, you always have strength, you’ll be glad, you don’t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” Amen. “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen) then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.

Now, let’s go to Revelations chapter 21, let’s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Isn’t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We’ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Verse 6, “And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.

Let’s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let’s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don’t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let’s continue) than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:”

Let’s go to Matthew chapter 13, we’re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we’re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone’s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” That is something that you don’t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let’s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let’s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don’t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there’s no other place for you, there’s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don’t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let’s talk about who you are right now, Amen.

Again, let’s stay on Matthew, let’s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What’s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, 18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. 19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we’re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let’s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, 21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.” We are all know the story, now let’s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, 33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.” Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that’s a question. Now, let’s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that’s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let’s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay 44Again, (and again this is a parable) the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it’s great, but you can’t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can’t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we’ll you can’t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it’s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it’s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you’re trusting in. If you can’t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That’s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we’re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.

Now, let’s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we’re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, 29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,(of course Jesus is talking) There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake” Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God’s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, 30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.” Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i’m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it’s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let’s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you’re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, 40He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me (of course Jesus is talking) receiveth him that sent me.” (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it’s elegant, it’s amazing, and He’ll say, well son or daughter, we’ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you’ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we’re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.

Alright, now, let’s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;” Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That’s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.

Now, let’s go to some examples. Let’s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Amen. So, let’s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He’s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It’s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.

Now, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who’s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen.

Because of messing with you because they didn’t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.

So, it’s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God’s Word, God use you, now I’m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don’t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it’s not like their name, it’s great because they didn’t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He’s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you’re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That’s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen.

Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.

Let’s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Amen.

And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.” So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he’s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don’t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen. And with a great calling it will be, Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward, Amen. Amen, So, let’s turn to Ephesians, Amen. So, who knows some examples, let’s talk about you and me, of course we talk about your little bit because whatever calling you in, you gonna retain that calling in Heaven, Amen.

Praise God. And verse 7, that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us, what age he is talking about? He’s talking about eternity, Amen. So, as we on eternity with Christ,  we are gonna be people of his grace because we are all sinners, remember every we do is right, but Jesus came and die for us and because He came and die for us we receive Him as our Lord and Savior but we didn’t deserve it but once it wow we are representatives of the grace of God, Amen. In heaven, so, when people see us when an angel see us, they say wow we are evidence of His grace and His mercy and His kindness because we didn’t deserve to be here but we are right here in Heaven and have this eternal reward because of who, not because of ourselves but because of Jesus Christ, Amen.

You’re not just here strong and true no you’re working out yourself cause you’re doing eternally, Amen. For your sacrifice for Jesus, Amen. Glory to God.

Alright, now, let’s go back to Revelation. Revelation chapter 1 verse 5, “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Amen, amen and amen. So, God has made you a king you know has made you a priest, Amen. Right now you’re a king and you’re a priest, Amen. Right now, Amen. Now you’re kings and priests.

No. He gives it and it’s yours forever. Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward.

Alright, let’s go to Genesis, so going back and forth, let’s go to Genesis chapter 15, wow and is now the things we talk about is about all great cause this is all wonderful, this is all good, Amen. Is all worth it? Or we save the best thing for last, Amen. Genesis chapter 15 verse 1, “After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Amen. So, guess what?
