LABOR IN THE LORD ISN'T IN VAIN
📓1 Corinthians 15:58
_Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (KJV)_
Christianity is a self-denial journey. To further explain, as Christians, we take actions that sacrifice our own benefits for the good of eternity. Jesus said, "...If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" - Matthew 16:24. Obviously, Christians deny the world and its desires and do the will of God through Jesus Christ. Anyone who cannot give up his or her pleasure for the sake of Christ is not worthy to be a Christian. Jesus again said, "Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me" - Matthew 10:38 (niv).
Apparently, following Christ requires a total sacrifice. However, whatever we give up or sacrifice for the sake of Christ is not in vain. From our opening verse, God through Apostle Paul says we should not be discouraged, instead, we should work enthusiastically for the Lord, for nothing we do in the Lord is useless. Peter one day asked Jesus, "We have given up everything to follow you. What will we get?" Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, no one who has given up house or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life" (Matthew 19:27-29, Luke 18:28-30).
Beloved, don't hesitate giving up your pleasure for the sake of Christ, for you will surely gain. Whatever you do in the Lord, do well, for your labor will not be in vain. Regardless of the suffering, persecution, insults, etc. you are going through, stand and work for the Lord, for He will reward you according to your works. "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up" - Galatians 6:9 (nlt).

🔔REMEMBER, ONE DAY, THE LORD WILL REWARD OUR EVERY WORK.
