Hello Steemians, today i will be talking about 'REWARDS'.
First of all, what is a reward?
Something of value given in return for an act.
Example, for catching the thief, you'll get a nice reward.
A prize promised for a certain deed or catch
Example, the rewards for bringing in badly wanted criminals are printed on 'dead or alive' posters.
The result of an action, whether good or bad.
Another example of such action, Is this the reward I get for telling the truth: to be put in jail?
I hope with the above definition of rewards we all understand what It is.
Biblically, Rewards we see rewards in
Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit.
The story of the pounds told by the Lord Jesus Christ is a representation of corresponding prize for adherents' work on earth before their passing. For example, the worker who got ten pounds and increased another ten pounds was compensated with power to control more than ten urban areas while the man with five pound and who increased extra five pounds had specialist to run more than five urban areas.
This position of proportional reward is supported in Luke 19:11-19
He therefore said, A certain nobleman went into a distant country to obtain for himself a kingdom and then to return.>
. Calling ten of his [own] bond servants, he gave them ten minas [each equal to about one hundred days’ wages or nearly twenty dollars] and said to them, Buy and sell with these while I go and then return.>
But his citizens detested him and sent an embassy after him to say, We do not want this man to become ruler over us. When he returned after having received the kingdom, he ordered these bond servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know how much each one had made by buying and selling.>
The first one came before him, and he said, Lord, your mina has made ten [additional] minas. And he said to him, Well done, excellent bond servant! Because you have been faithful and trustworthy in a very little [thing], you shall have authority over ten cities. The second one also came and said, Lord, your mina has made five more minas.>
And he said also to him, And you will take charge over five cities.
