MFM Daily Devotional Message Monday, 20th October, 2025.
What readily comes to mind while considering this topic is the statement that "without the cross, there may be no crown." In other words, if a man does not venture, he may have no gain. Similarly, as sowing proceeds harvesting, so is rest sweet after labour. No wonder a Yoruba adage says, "A pot must have witnessed a lot of heat to carry edible and sweet soup."
Economists, on the other hand, say the opportunity cost of a product is the price that is forgone. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in His mission, affirmed this great truth when he said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn or cereal fall into the ground and dies, it brings much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal" (John 2: 24-25).
The Bible itself is full of numerous issues of having great reward after much sacrifice. To drum home this great truth, two examples of sacrifices will suffice. King Solomon (the richest man that ever traversed this earth) offered a thousand burnt offering (great price) before he received the gift of vision and understanding and later got riches and honour he never asked for (great reward) from God (1 King 3:4, 9-13). Similarly, our Creator, the Almighty and all- knowing God, exemplified this truth when He gave His only begotten son (Jesus) as a ransom, in order for Him to gain the whole world (John 3:16).
Therefore, for one to gain eternal life, one is expected to give his or her life to Christ (be born again genuinely). To go to heaven is a great reward we should all seek. Similarly, to be successful in this world and fulfil our destinies, we must abide by the truth (great price) in the midst of all persecution and discouragement. So, rise up, take your cross and follow Him to seek the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62). The ultimate reward of our service to God here on earth is heaven. I pray you will not miss it.
