📖 Mark 10:28-30
Introduction
Our God is a rewarder of diligent seekers and faithful stewards. Kingdom service is never in vain!
🔹 God does not ask the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain – Isaiah 45:19
🔹 God is not looking for who to use but who to bless – Exodus 23:25-26
🔹 Kingdom stewardship is the covenant platform for the promotion of believers – Luke 19:12-13, 17-19
This week, we have been exploring: Kingdom Advancement Endeavour is for Our Profiting – Mark 10:28-30
Kingdom service is not just about making efforts but about producing results. In the natural world, a farmer who only plants seeds but never harvests any crops will not enjoy the benefits of his labour. Likewise, in the Kingdom, fruitfulness is what brings honour to God and not just activity.
The Fruit-Bearing Commandment
Jesus commands us to be fruitful, not just busy. Productivity is what brings rewards in both the physical and spiritual realms.
1️⃣ It is Bearing Fruits that Glorifies God, Not Just Making Effort 📖 John 15:1-2, 8
🔹 John 15:8 says, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”
🔹 Just as a tree is not valuable because it has many branches but because it produces fruits, our spiritual labour must bring tangible results—souls saved, lives transformed, and God’s kingdom expanded.
🔹 Many people work hard in church but without tangible impact. The real question is, “Where are the souls to show for my labour?”
📌 Are you truly fruitful, or just busy?
2️⃣ Every Marketer is Paid Commission on Sales, Not Just Effort 📖 Luke 19:13-19; Daniel 12:3
🔹 Luke 19:13-19 shows the parable of the servants given talents. Those who multiplied their talents were rewarded, but the one who hid his talent was rebuked and stripped of his portion.
🔹 Daniel 12:3 tells us that soul winners will shine like the brightness of the firmament. This means that our eternal rewards are tied to how many souls we bring into the Kingdom.
🔹 Imagine a salesperson who works very hard but never makes a single sale—will the company pay him? No! Similarly, our Kingdom rewards are based on results, not just activity.
📌 Are you producing spiritual results, or just making efforts?
3️⃣ We Must Be Result-Oriented Both on the Prayer Altar and in the Harvest Field 📖 Matthew 6:6; John 15:16
🔹 Matthew 6:6 teaches us the importance of praying in secret and receiving open rewards.
🔹 John 15:16 says, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”
🔹 This means that God expects us to be intentional and result-driven in both our prayers and evangelism. It is not just about praying but seeing answers; not just about going out but bringing in souls and establishing them.
📌 Are your prayers producing results? Are the people you bring to church staying and growing?
