A man becomes a victim if he is not exposed to the truth guiding that which can be detrimental to him or when he decided on his own will not follow that which has been laid down.
Rewards can be a return for evil or good. This tells us that not all rewards are worthy of reception.
The outcome can be a reward for something which is initiated by someone.
Rewards that are not worthy of reception are birth from faulty labour.
They are birth from Handicap labour.
Handicap reward is a disabled reward whose foundation has been faulty from the outset of its labour.
The disabled outcome is a rewarding birth from greed and other unwelcoming deeds.
Gehazi allows greed to be his Labour and the "leprosy of Naaman" become his reward.
Please note that "Leprosy of Naaman"
2 Kings 5:27 Says" The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
The above tells us that you can't work for the devil and expect to receive a return from God.
Apart from greed, other things birth the Handicap reward/Disabled outcome.
Other things catalyzed someone into receiving such disastrous rewards.
Follow me as we treat few examples of those things that can birth the Handicap reward and biblical personalities linking them.
✔️ IMPATIENCE: This is another catalyst of the handicap rewards.
Allow people to make a mockery of you now because without this there will be no catalyzing agent that will quicken you for Success.
Joseph who was laughed at when he told his dream was later laughed with when his patience launched him into the relevant reward.
Even though his life was full of temptations and trials, he endured into his greatness.
He refused the handicap reward of Portipars wife and he received the full reward the Lord has prepared for him.
He feared God and that was why he didn't get himself engaged in things that an ordinary man would call fun.
Beloved, stop comparing your accomplishments with that man who has started long before you.
If God could make Joseph become a Father to Pharaoh in a strange land, then he is set to do something great with you and for you too.
God would never say he will if he would not. Joseph knew he dreamt, though it wasn't even looking like the one that would be achieved due to so great troubles he passed through, yet he later behold the expected end which God has thought for him.
Time and Season happeneth to everything.
Brother when it is your time I quote "no man can stop you" I repeat "no man can stop you".
Check the history of any great man/woman that has genuinely acquired his/her wealth. You will discover that they have been mocked, laughed at, penniless or wanting in life before they get to that desirable position they are today.
With their patience, they got experienced and through their experience, they continually hope in God for better days which they finally got.
Do not take 100 today in exchange for the hundreds of millions that have been set in place for you by God tomorrow.
Immediate Satisfaction is a handicap reward.
Aunty if he said you should prove that love to satisfy his lustful desire boldly tell him
"Jesus already prove his love to us all several years ago".
If that lady is too demanding to the point of pushing you into something else, beware, for the outcome will be a handicap reward.
Many people have rushed into handicapped marriages due to impatience.
Do not rush into a handicap journey due to pressure from relatives and friends because No one is going to carry that cross for you.
Many people have chosen the handicap career due to impatience.
Wait upon the Lord, be patient for there is a great reward for waiting upon the Lord.
✔️ LAZINESS: This is another catalyst for the handicap reward.
Something single Esther out among all the Virgins that were in a contest with her at the palace.
WHAT WAS THAT?.
That which single her out was "Diligence".
Before you can stand before King and not mere men you must go for that extra.
The Ten Virgins were in no doubt all virgins but what single the wise from the foolish is the Extra oil.
We live in a generation where many go about looking for fast and cheap money. They want to live a life of luxury without paying the price. They are no longer ready to task their brain or cause their flesh to be torture. The fact however is that laziness birth poverty as firstborn. Proverb 6:11.
God is the rewarder of those that diligently seek him and consult him. Backwardness is for the laggard.
You can be rich and yet be godly do not allow men to deceive you with the general saying "All is Vanity".
Many have used the above to stay comfortably in hardship as they wallow in the ocean of Laziness all in the name of "Life is Vanity".
Yes, all is vanity but being rich or being poor is not a ticket into that Everlasting inheritance.
It is not a bad thing to be rich but it becomes worse when the money or riches start taking the place of God.
Poverty is a disease work diligently to get that comfortable life for yourself while you exist.
✔️PROCRASTINATION: This is another catalyst to receiving the handicap reward.
The King business requires haste.
Did Jesus ever come across anyone with a problem and then give the lame excuse "Let me pray about it" before he gives them transformation?
Why then will you give that excuse and pray for two weeks before you can help that brother that needs that help that same day? Why???
If you refuse to help that soul that has humbly come to you for help, he may seek help from the axis of the rulers of this world.
The King's business required haste, the evil days are already here. Failure to do this will create room for the enemies to establish different forms of religious fanaticism that plague the world and even among the brethren.
The Kingdom business has long been in waste in the hands of sleeping elect it is time to wake up and make haste.
This haste we talked about is not that you heard that you are to become a voice to the world today and then tomorrow you already build a house. No this is not haste.
For you can be a voice to the world without Setting a building for the King's business.
Reinhard Bonnke didn't work with structures yet he obtained countless structures of men for the Kingdom of God before he left.
Take up that abandoned project today it is not too late.
Go for that mission today, generations await your manifestation.
✔️ DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE: This can also birth the Handicap reward.
Brother, you are not in that church for Competition you are there to build yourself and build others.
Mr Daniel dropped Ten thousand Naira for the church project you that don't even have up to that amount in your account dropped more than that. Within you, you know that is for an eye service.
Ananias and Sapphira wanted to be accepted at all costs and this landed them into receiving a handicap reward.
Be who you are and there won't be a need for strive or competition.
✔️INGRATITUDE: You are never satisfied with that which you have. When you even received you see it as not worthy to be thankful for.
Ask the Nine other Lepers in Luke 17.
What did their ingratitude nature cost them? It cost them divine health.
They don't know there is a difference between being heal and being made whole.
How grateful are you? To God and even to those around you.
How well do you appreciate the gifts of God over your life and in your life?
✔️SELFISHNESS: Judah one of the disciples of Sold his master for thirty pieces of silver and what was his reward?
Shame which eventually led to suicide.
That money is pleasant to the eyes.
Those promises are so enticing but the question is will they not bring you a bad reward?
✔️ANGER: This can bring you a Handicap reward. Ask Moses. His Labour of so many years was contaminated by the little labour of anger.
Don't receive danger due to your anger.
Self-control is there for you. Ask for that fruit of the Spirit today.
A man who can control himself would be able to resist so many things that would be of detriment to him.
✔️ DISOBEDIENCE: This can bring a man a Handicap reward. Lot wife, Jonah among others fell into this category.
If God asks you do to something do it so that you don't land in the belly of the Fish just like Jonah.
Obedient is better than sacrifice. If they asked you to beware of dogs it is for the safety of your flesh.
If they asked you not to Overspeed. It is for your safety.
Break yourself from the league of "I know what I am doing". You can't know what you are doing until you do that which you must not do and by then, it might be too late!
✔️LUST: Ask Samson. Lust is another catalyst that has made countless souls receive the handicap reward. Lust can make you release the secret of your life into the hands of those that are seeking after it.
Flee!!! Only those that flee will be free.
Delilah is roaring about seeking who to devour. Beware!
✔️ PRIDE: Yes "Mr I know all", "No one is like me".
You have even missed so many opportunities due to your pride.
God cannot lift a man who already set himself to the top.
You won't know the danger it poses until you end up like Lucifer the pride Initiator.
Negligence, Carefree attitude among others can make a man receive a faulty reward.
If the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do?
What have you been planting?
You can't plant pineapple in expectation of harvesting plantain. That is not possible!
Even if all the trees in the Vineyard looks alike, the harvest will separate the good ones from the bad ones.
By their fruit, ye shall know them.
If you want to See a castle start building it right from the foundation.
Your rewards are directly proportional to your labour of love.
Check yourself today. The past cannot be erased but you can make a lot for the future from the present.
Allow God to be your Consultant today.
For there is a great reward for those that work and walk with him.
#You are a Godly Vessel#
