God’s Word for Today - 30 Apr 2025
1 Corinthians 9:18 KJV — What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 30 Apr 2025
The rhetorical question raised by Apostle Paul in today’s scripture is one that many faithful followers of Christ often ask themselves, but one wonders if they come to the same conclusion as the apostle regarding what they consider to be a due reward. Namely, that the right and great reward is to make Christ known without personal gains and to never misuse or abuse the power conferred on them by the gospel of Christ as His ambassadors. Such faithful ones are sometimes distracted by the fact that many who cut corners and even abuse their position in Christ seem to be reaping much reward. But they forget that what they count as reward is temporary and of no eternal value, hence not worthy to be desired.
Pray: Gracious Jehovah, let the reward of being Your child be enough for me. #Mok
