Beloved even at a time like this, you can be enlisted for honor. God in deed shall honour you till you meet Jesus in the sky in Jesus name.
One biblical pathway to God’s honour is to serve Jesus. Please engage in living for Him and advancing His kingdom henceforth.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30
But then only sanctified vessels can serve the Lord acceptably and be rewarded. I am persuaded that this can never pose any difficulty for you.
2 Timothy 2:19-21 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Colossians 3:23-4 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
It is noteworthy that both in the old and new testaments, the conditions for acceptable service to the Lord are still the same and unchanged
Exodus 18:19-22 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
Isaiah 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Acts 6:2-3 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30
This was the exact thing that was put in place during the days of Nehemiah for acceptable service for the Levites and others.
Nehemiah 12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Interestingly, the Bible reveals saints in Bible days that God engaged in rewardable service, because they willingly and submissively meet the conditions.

Isaiah
Isa 6:1 — Isa 6:8 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30
Paul apostle and his team.
1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
I am persuaded that you are set for God:s enviable honour for rewardable service. So join the throng and consecrate yourself, till Jesus comes.
Psalms 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
1 Chronicles 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
May the good Lord depend on you in Jesus name.
