““He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’” (Luke 19:17 WEB)
Fellow brethren, if you think that the temporal glitz and glamour of this world is great, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Jesus counts everything in this lifetime as “very little”. When you’re faithful in serving God with the very little He has entrusted with, He rewards you with disproportionately MUCH—talk about unfairly good!
Salvation is by Grace through faith, apart from our works.
On the other hand, eternal rewards are measured out by our good works done in faith, using the Grace we’ve received from God.
If you serve in a very little capacity in the household of God, don’t despise it. This tiny area that you’re stewarding (managing something you don’t own) for God, will cause you to be richly rewarded with something you do permanently own.
“He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?” (Luke 16:10-12 WEB)
You can’t take anything physical in this lifetime with you when you depart from your body to be in Heaven.
Everything material that is with you in this lifetime will cease to be under your stewardship when your mortal lifetime is up—they don’t really belong to you.
However the way you handled the things that don’t really belong to you will determine your role in Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom on earth and beyond.
Your mortal lifetime is sort of like a probation period, to assess what position you’re suitable for in eternity.
Will you allow the Grace you’ve received to be in vain, ensnared by the cares of this world and made unfruitful, or will you use your gifts wisely for Jesus’ sake to further God’s kingdom during your lifetime?
As mentioned in Jesus’ parable of the minas, the servant gained authority over ten cities for his faithful service in “very little”.
We can take it to mean that one of the eternal rewards a believer can receive is authority over cities in Jesus’ future Millennial kingdom on earth which will last for 1000 years before ushering in eternity.
You have a choice: to hustle for temporal power, riches and fame and enjoy for at most a few decades, or do you want to live a life that glorifies Jesus and be rewarded with a permanent, glorious position of honor and authority for 1000 years and beyond, in a much greater Kingdom?
Logically, the choice is clear. But will you allow the flesh to drive you to live for instant gratification, or will you rely on the Holy Spirit to lead you to true abundance and happiness in Christ?
“But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”” (1 Corinthians 2:9 WEB)
When it’s rewards receiving day, we’ll stand before Jesus’ throne and probably gasp in pleasant shock at the amazing rewards we’ll receive.
“Really, Lord? You’re giving all this to me when I did so little? Thank You!!!” We’ll beam with joy.
If you think the world knows what prosperity is, you’ve seen nothing yet—don’t give up on following the promptings of Holy Spirit inside you.
If you keep doing good, you will surely reap amazing rewards on that Day.
