READ ME….I CARRY WHAT CAN TURN YOUR LIFE INTO GREATNESS!!! THE BENEFITS OR REWARD OF KNOWING GOD AT YOUTHFUL LEVEL. David as a spiritual man, with spiritual education and insight, cry out in psalm 103:2 saying ‘’my soul…forget not all His [God Almighty] benefits’’. But many folks don’t know that there are unthinkable benefits in knowing and serving the LORD. And with this divine awareness of God’s benefits, he gave the most vital and highest parental charged to Solomon his son: saying my ‘’sons know thou the God of thy father” 1chro 28:9. Actually, not all parents have this spiritual insight, to charge their children with this great instruction of life and greatness. And Solomon did not really grasp the impact of that divinely inspired instruction of life. It was that inspired instruction of the Holy Spirit, through David that brought Solomon the great benefits and reward of God Almighty. David also had the testimony of God’s reward in his life but in Solomon, it was something out of this world. In 2chron 1:12, the Lord God declared His benefits or reward He granted Solomon: by saying ‘’Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like”. This is what i wants youths and many out there to know; an instruction to know God Almighty, brings you to a place of the unimaginable benefits of God’s greatness and life eternal. THE BENEFIT OF EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD The benefit of exceeding great reward, is one of the benefit of God Almighty. So let look into that! When the LORD of Hosts called Abraham: He educated him of the kind of things he should expect and will see in his life, as a result of his walk with Him. He upgraded his mindset into His class of thinking and doing think. So in Genesis 15:1, God Almighty declared to Abraham by saying: ‘’ I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward’’. And with this, Abraham had an understanding of who Lord God is, and what He’s capable of doing with his life. Sadly, many don’t have a proper understanding of who God Almighty actually is! Due to the senses of man, there try to equate Him with some other things, which Himself created and is greater than them all. And this low understanding of many about God Almighty causes lack of inspiration for some folks, in walking with the LORD and to serve Him. There have this wrong notion, that those who walk with God and serve Him, are poor people: who are jobless. Even parents debunks their children sharply with any attempt of saying there wants to serve God with the rest of their lives. And this are some of the instruments satan uses to keep many from their glorious destiny in God Almighty, and bringing them to a place of confusion, sickness, darkness, sin, and death etc. No wonder Lord God, said in Hosea 4:6 ‘’people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’’. This is the knowledge that comes by the illumination of a man’s spirit through the Holy Spirit. And many lacked this revelational knowledge – who are walks on in darkness. Genesis 1:1 declares ‘’God created the heaven and the earth’’. So the owner of the heaven and earth is the LORD GOD of hosts. The heaven and earth does not belong to satan, demons, man and the rest. Psalm 24:1 further clarify its by saying…’’ The earth is the LORDS, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein’’. This also means that nothing in this world that belong to a man – including man himself. Even satan and all the demons belong to God Almighty. Also in Isaiah 44:24, LORD confirmed this in a more authoritative and sovereign truth: saying…’’ I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spread abroad the earth by myself’’. Not even angels, satan nor man assisted God Almighty in creating anything we see, feel and touch in the whole creations. God created all things alone! But, man like others created beings has his own responsibilities, given to him by God. The Almighty God created man and saddled him with the duty of taking care of all He created on earth. So therefore, man is just a custodian of God’s earth - not an owner. For example genesis 2:15 says God ‘’put him{Adam} into the garden of Eden to dress[work] it and to keep it’’. So again, man is just a custodian of God’s earth. So the LORD GOD of hosts, reward or grants men His benefits according to man’s obedient to Him. Heb 11:6 declares ‘’He[God] is a rewarder’’! God Almighty is a rewarder of all men, whether you are good or bad - or you are engineer or doctor or teacher or artist or politician or pastor or evangelist or young or old or student or sinner or believer in God or unbeliever in GOD etc. We all will give account to Him according to our works on earth. So don’t be deceive to say because you are not a believer in God, in Christ Jesus: He got nothing to do with you. That is a lie - you are His creature! The Almighty God is rewarding your actions – which are accumulating to His final judgment. For example, to him who says he/she does not care about the Lord God. Ecclesiastes 12:26, gives a clear scenario of the lives of those who say there don’t care about the LORD, indicating that…’’ to the sinner he[God] giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good[believer] before God’’. That is why some don’t understand the way their lives are going – always emptiness at the end of every toiling. So God wanted Abraham to get it straight into his head, that He is his reward! That is, He’s Abraham protection, prosperity, blessings, power, wealth etc. That means whatsoever belong to Him as the LORD GOD of Hosts, belong to Abraham. No wonder He willed the whole world to Abraham by a simple obedient of faith unto Him. This is the picture, God wants every youth to have – including all men. Our simple act of obedient of faith unto LORD creates an undeniable impact of generational blessings. This is one of the greatest thing no one should afford to let down or take likely – especially youth. The reason is because a simple walk with God, gives birth to what human being can’t described! That is why in every generations, those who are beneficiary of God’s reward are amazement to men. In genesis 26:2-3, LORD appeared to Isaac in the land of the philistine and gave him an instruction, which He said…’’Dwell in this land and I will be you and I bless you’’. And Isaac obeyed God…and “dwelt Gerar’’ Genesis 26:6. So the outcome of his obedient to God, was brought into perspective, as genesis 26:13 declared ‘’The man[Isaac] began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous’’. That is wealth and greatness that is unthinkable and out of this world. And the impact of Isaac’s great causes men of his days to be amazed – which ‘’the Philistines envied him’’ Gene 26:14. And the reason for their action is because Isaac had ‘’ possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants’’. There did not understand his way of life and mode of operations. And there finally said ‘’you are much mightier than we’’….Gene 26:16. This is what happen to those who obediently walk and serve the LORD GOD of hosts, He made them mightier and greater than men in all things. And Abraham greatness is still a talk of many! In the same line of thought, the same scenario takes place in all generations. Today men get amazes of the wealth and greatness, of those who obediently walk and serve the LORD GOD of hosts. That is men and women of God. There don’t understand their ways of life and mode of operations. In their obedient of faith, like Abraham, Isaac etc: God has made them mightier and greater than men of their time. And Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 made its more clearer by saying…’’ for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart’’. And those who criticize men and women of God, who are lifted by the LORD GOD of hosts: into places of power and affluent with greatness and wealth untold, don’t know that …’’Both riches and honor come from You[God], And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all’’…2chro 29:10. No wonder the LORD GOD of Hosts, said ...Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possessionpsalm 2:8. Glory to His Name! All things are possible with Him alone. And He does whatsoever He wants and gives the world to who ever He wants. There think is their head and fellow men! So there envied and criticize those who are doing exploits with the LORD OF HOSTS, across the globe. Finally, a walk with the LORD, is a not mere walk but a walk into the exceeding greatness of God.
