Receive healing wherever you are hurting now by the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good-Life Devotional: NOT FOR MONEY OR REWARD: THE TRUE MISSION OF GOD’S SERVANTS
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
The mission of God’s servants is not to seek wealth or personal gain but to proclaim the gospel of righteousness and bring deliverance to those bound by sin. Isaiah 45:13 declares, “I have stirred up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways smooth; he will build My city and let My exiles go, without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of hosts (AMP). This scripture emphasizes that divine assignments are not for financial profit but for fulfilling God’s purpose.
Unfortunately, many preachers today are tempted to pursue wealth and recognition rather than staying committed to their sacred calling. Like Gehazi in 2 Kings 5:20-26, who sought material gain from Naaman’s healing, some ministers prioritize financial rewards over the true gospel. This shift compromises the message of righteousness, leading to spiritual decline in many churches.
Jesus Christ provided a clear directive in Matthew 6:33, “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also” (AMP). This means that as believers focus on God’s kingdom and His righteousness, their needs will be met by divine provision, not by manipulating the gospel for financial gain.
True servants of God are called to preach the gospel freely, trusting in God’s provision rather than seeking personal rewards. The liberation of souls must remain the highest priority, not wealth or worldly success.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to preach the gospel.
