Evangelism: Rewards and benefits of an evangelist

Memorise: “But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared ” (Mark 10:40)

“But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared” (Mark 10:40).

Heaven is a place of wealth, fame, power, position and greatness. If you attain any of these in this glorious planet, you are forever made. Heaven is also a place of hierarchy. Lucifer was one of the top angels in Heaven. At a point he was not satisfied with his level. He wanted to go higher. He desired to be like God but followed the path of pride and rebellion, and completely lost out of this Kingdom.

 Today, God is giving mortal men the opportunity Satan lost. You can actually desire to be like God and achieve it through His path. You are free to determine your position, glory, power and eternal rewards in Heaven. However you must be ready to meet with Heaven’s requirements.

Do you know that the reward for each soul won to the soul winner varies depending on the situation on ground? There are several countries where the laws of the land favour the Gospel. But there are countries where preaching Christ could land you in prison.

If you put your life on line to win a soul in anti-Christian communities and nations, you will get more value from the Lord than the fellow who won five souls from a nation that allows the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through this, God adequately compensates missionaries who live their home countries to distant parts of the earth – particularly Muslim, Buddhist and pagan strongholds and war ravaged nations.

Also, Heaven is a place of hierarchies and order. After the rewards -crowns and stars have been distributed according to individual’s works, several hierarchies would emerge: One crown no star, one crown one star, to one crown infinity stars are several levels. Then you have two crowns no star, two crowns one star to infinity. Up to seven crowns, no star; seven crowns one star to infinity.

Whatever level you fall, will determine the level of glory (God’s light) that will radiate through your body; the grade of mansion you will live in; the several other fringe benefits you will be given; the size of the Kingdom Jesus will appoint you to rule over during the 1000 years reign, and the dominion of your eternal reign with Christ.

You can determine where you want to be. Aim for the highest in Heaven and work for it today. Go soul crazy! That is one level of madness that will positively affect your eternal rating.

Earthly governments, politicans, and ‘king makers’ may deny you access into positions of natioanl leadership; But Heaven’s eternal leadership positions are open for you to occupy by merit.
