Benefits of service

"There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil." Exodus 23:26

As you serve the Lord faithfully expect these benefits of service to be evident in your life.

The Bible says nothing shall cast their young. This means that nothing shall lose her young by miscarriage; both man and animals belonging to those serving the Lord. A dear minister of God in our country spoke about a time when his wife just got pregnant with their first child. He said he came home one day and his wife told him that she saw blood. She was thinking she had a miscarriage because of how heavy the flow of blood was. He said he told her that what she had in her womb was a child not blood, therefore, the child was still in her womb. He demanded for his food, he ate and that settled it. He was confident his wife could not have a miscarriage because he was serving God and the scriptures could not be broken. According to the time of life, his wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.

Abraham was serving the Lord and his wife Sarah was barren according to the scriptures (Genesis 11:30). His faithful service to the Lord and faith broke barrenness and Sarah gave birth to Isaac (Genesis 21:2-3).

Premature death is not the heritage of those who serve the Lord. Nobody can kill you. The Bible says in Psalm 91:16, "With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." This is your heritage for serving the Lord. Do not settle for anything less.
