1 Corinthians 9:24 Life can be likened to a race, after the race comes the reward. God is not a user or abuser, God doesn't use and dump people. God is a rewarder, God is in the business of rewarding people. God rewards us in this lifetime. Matthew 19:29 God also rewards us in eternity. James 1:12 God's rewards manifest in our physical realm, His rewards start from the spirit dimension. The kingdom of God which the believer has been translated to, has a reward system. Matthew 6:33 Throughout the scriptures we see God rewarding people. God rewards our endurance towards Him and towards His cause. Matthew 24:13 God rewards our honoring His kingdom and righteousness. Matthew 6:33 God rewards our respecting His presence. 2 Samuel 6:11-15 God is not a commander or task master who sends his soldiers or servants out into battle without giving them from the spoils of war.

The enemy is a manipulator. He will manipulate situations, circumstances, and inspire people to mistreat you so that you'll blame God for it. The enemy wants you to murmur and complain. He played such a game with the Israelites as they journeyed to the promised land.  Unfortunately the Israelites took the bait, God got angry with the Israelites and many of them fell. We have

  Matthew 24:13 Enduring for the right reason, the right person, or the right cause, brings about great rewards. It takes courage and endurance to keep going when you have every reason to give up.
