Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has reminded Christians that God takes notice of everything done for Him and rewards each person’s actions accordingly.
Drawing from the dialogue between the Lord Jesus and Peter in Mark 10:28-30, Apostle Obuobi outlined two kinds of rewards Christians receive for their good deeds in Christ: earthly rewards and eternal rewards.
He further emphasized that while salvation is free, rewards are not—they are earned through effort and activity.
Apostle Obuobi made this poignant assertion during his presentation on the topic, “Living for Eternal Rewards,” on the morning of the third day of the Volta-Oti RCC session of the Ministers and Wives Conference held at PIWC, Ho.
Explaining Colossians 3:24, he encouraged the ministers and their wives to serve in ministry as unto the Lord, rather than unto their respective Area Heads.
He also advised ministers not to become discouraged when their good deeds seem unnoticed or unappreciated.
Drawing inspiration from Kevin Halloran, Apostle Obuobi reminded the participants that they will be duly rewarded when they endure pressures in ministry, give generously, bear insults, and offer excellent service to their employers.
“When we serve the Lord faithfully, we will earn different kinds of crowns, including the crown of life, the imperishable crown, the crown of righteousness, the crown of glory, and the crown of rejoicing,” he stated.
The General Secretary further explained that faithfulness is expected of Christians in three areas: unto the Lord, to the calling they have received, and to the church or institution (The Church of Pentecost) that provides the platform for their service.
Apostle Obuobi concluded by urging ministers and their wives to remain obedient to God and their calling, so they can successfully earn the rewards promised by the One who called them.
