You Are A Reward to Someone
Somebody needs you. I bet you didn’t really know that and believe that. But, it’s true. A lot of somebodies need you. But better yet they need what you possess. They need your call and gift.
Moses was needed as a leader to the children of Israel. He was their reward.
David was needed by the Israelites to defeat Goliath. He was a reward to King Saul as well, when he defeated Goliath and routed the Philistines.
Naomi needed a caretaker. Ruth was a reward for her, and so loyal that her devotion was recorded in the Scriptures for people to read of throughout generations.
The Jews would have been destroyed except for Esther. Esther was their answer, their solution, their reward.
Pharaoh desperately needed someone to interpret his dream. Joseph was a reward to him and subsequently to the people of Egypt. Are you getting the picture now. You are a reward to someone also.
Famine would have destroyed the Egyptians. Joseph was their reward because he interpreted the message from God thru the dream of Pharaoh.
You see, everything God created is a reward to somebody.
Think about this. It is very important that you grasp your significance and value.
Your patience is a reward for somebody that others would not tolerate. Your words will motivate someone incapable of seeing what you see. It may be the mental, emotional, or spiritual qualities God had developed within you, but somebody desperately needs you today.
God planned you. Nobody else can be like you. Nobody else can do what you do. You are unlike anyone else on earth. Grasp this thought and embrace it.
God is not a duplicator. He is a creator. You are absolutely perfect and genetically accurate for solving a specific problem for somebody on the earth.
Somebody needs exactly what you have been given by God. Somebody is hungry and thirsty for your presence. Somebody will starve without you to come along and rescue them. Somebody has been lying awake at night praying that God would send you into their life. We need this truth in the body of Christ. Every need we have is sitting in the body itself. It’s in each of us for someone else.
You are their reward. I am their reward. We are their reward. It’s such a powerful truth.
But it is also important that you recognize that some people do not really need you. You are not their answer. You are not their solution. Do not take offense at this. God has somebody else planned for them.
You are not needed everywhere. You are only needed at a specific place, at a specific time and for a specific person.
Now, this person or people qualifies for your entrance into their life. They may not initially see you as being their reward, but you really are. You are exactly what God has ordered for their life.
There are 3 important keys to remember here:
1. God has qualified you to be a perfect solution to someone
2. It is the responsibility of the others to discern your assignment to them. You must have spiritual perception to know who someone is to your life. If they can help you or not.
The Pharisees did not discern that Jesus was assigned to them, but Zacchaeus did, and the relationship was born. Even pharaoh of Egypt an unbeliever, discerned that Joseph was the answer to his dream and dilemma. Thousands were sick and blind but one cried out Jesus thou Son of David have mercy on me.
3. When you discover to whom you have been assigned, you will experience great peace, fulfillment, and provision for your own life. You must determine and know well the anointing and calling on your own life.
Stand strong, and with holy spirit in total dependency and God will direct you. Look for opportunities to heal , strengthen, and bless others. Do good every time it is possible. You are truly a gift and reward to those to whom you are assigned.
