Day 7: Be Ready by Considering Your Eternal Rewards 0:00 Welcome to this pray dot com series from Kingdom Voices brought to you by w publishing. In this series, John Bevere unpacks key aspects of spiritual readiness for the return of Christ, helping you live with0:11 clarity, urgency, and hope as you anticipate the coming king. If you enjoy this series, we invite you to go deeper with John's New York Times best selling book, The King is Coming. It's0:23 time to prepare for the return of Christ.0:27 Day 7. Be ready by considering your eternal rewards. The greatest award ceremony of all time is rapidly approaching for believers, where eternal0:38 prizes will be handed out that far exceed anything that Earth could give you, such as medals, plaques, trophies. They will be accompanied by eternal positions that carry0:50 responsibility and authority. This event is referred to as the judgment seat of Christ. Paul wrote, don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but1:02 only 1 person gets a prize? So run to win. All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal1:14 prize. So I run with purpose in every step. First Corinthians 9 24 through 26. We cannot do anything to make God love1:26 us any more than he already does. However, we are responsible for how pleased he is with us. We will give an account of how we steward life and the gifts God entrusted to1:38 us to build his kingdom, and we will answer for every life we impacted in either a positive or a negative way. Matthew 25 verse 40. If we live
1:49 for self gain, our impact, well, it's temporary. If we live selflessly, what he builds through us is purified and eternal. The word of God is the fire
2:01 that will examine our life and reveal what is behind our motives, our words, and our behavior. James tells us our life is a vapor, a blimp on
2:13 the screen, or in reality, even quicker. 4 14. So how should we live? With purpose and focus. The Lord desires to reward you with abundance, power, authority, and
2:25 blessing. This is his heart for you. He longs for you to take the call to holiness seriously, setting yourself apart for him until he returns for us. He deeply
2:37 loves you, desires you, and is full of hope for you. How can we not respond to such love, desire, and hope? In part, by rejoicing that he's
2:49 coming. Soon, he'll catch away his beloved bride, and we'll celebrate like never before. Our faithful Lord, savior, and bridegroom leaves us with these words,
3:00 yes. I am coming soon. And our response is, amen. Come, Lord Jesus Christ. Dear Father, I open my heart and life to your word to
3:12 discern the thoughts and intentions of my heart. May my thoughts and my motives be pleasing in your sight. And it's in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
