God Will Pay for Your Good Deeds

“Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.” —Ephesians 6:8.

This verse serves as a powerful reminder to extend goodness to others, regardless of how big or small the gesture may seem. Pay attention to the keywords: “whatever,” “anyone,” and “slave or free.” These terms emphasize the universal application of this principle. There are no conditions, limits, or restrictions. This promise applies to all people and all acts of goodness, irrespective of their social or spiritual status.

God operates on a kingdom principle: what you do for others, He will do for you. When you serve someone else, you are not just fulfilling an obligation—you are sowing seeds into God's divine reward system. The good you do for others is credited to your heavenly account, independent of their ability to repay you.

The Heart of Giving

When we perform good deeds, it’s crucial to maintain the right mindset. Our acts of kindness are offerings to God, not obligations to others. Therefore, we should not expect repayment from people but trust that God will reward us in His own time and way. This mindset prevents discouragement when our kindness seems unappreciated or unreturned.

Withholding goodness due to societal expectations, fear of rejection, or negative self-perception only limits the blessings God desires to pour into your life. You are a child of God, and He is eager to elevate you to new levels of His goodness. Embrace this promise and observe the transformation in your life.

The Principle of Giving and Receiving

The age-old saying, “The hand that gives is the hand that gathers,” agrees perfectly with God’s Word. Luke 6:38 affirms this truth:

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

This scripture teaches that receiving is always preceded by giving. However, giving should never be about keeping score. True generosity flows freely, expecting nothing in return from people, knowing that God, the ultimate rewarder, sees and rewards every act of kindness.

A Call to Action

Make kindness and good deeds the hallmark of your interactions with others. Remember, when you give, you are opening the door for God’s blessings to flow abundantly into your life. Trust in His promises, and let His goodness inspire you to do good.

Apostle Paul admonishes us:

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." — Galatians 6:9.

God is faithful to repay every good deed you do, regardless of how insignificant it may seem. As you pour into others, He will pour into you—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Stay faithful, and witness the fulfilment of His Word in your life.

Understand Your Identity in Christ

We live in a world that often seems confusing. Identity—once rooted in truth, community, and divine design—has become fragmented. Many today feel like they are drowning in society’s expectations, chasing after titles, images, and affirmations as if they were lifelines in a storm. But the world is fickle. Its validation is fleeting, and its approval often comes at a cost. As a result, we find ourselves lost, doubting who we are, questioning our worth, and searching for something that already exists within us but remains hidden. This identity crisis is not accidental; it’s one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective tactics. If he can confuse who you are, he can also confuse what you do. And if he can confuse what you do, he can derail why you’re here. That's why so many today are redefining their identities based on whatever the world currently applauds—appearance, fame, even gender. This shift is not born out of rebellion but from despair. When you don’t know who you are in...

The Devil Has No Permission Over Your Life Unless You Give It to Him

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8 . Many people live in fear of the enemy, believing he has free rein to wreak havoc in their lives. Yet, the truth is that the devil does not have free access to your peace, health, or family. He cannot simply impose disease, destruction, or despair upon you. If the devil truly could attack anyone at will, 1 Peter 5:8 would state that he devours whomever he chooses. The fact that he must seek indicates that some individuals are "undevourable". What Makes You "Undevourable"? The devil operates like a roaring lion, attempting to intimidate and instil fear. But he is not the true Lion. The true Lion is Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5), who has already defeated the devil. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus rendered powerless the one who held the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). When you understand that Jesus r...

The Discipline of Perception: We Receive People the Way We Perceive Them

Perception isn’t just how we see the world—it’s how we engage with it. It’s how we interpret people, situations, opportunities, and setbacks. And here's the uncomfortable truth: most of us are walking around misperceiving what matters most. In John 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well. To her, He appears to be just another thirsty traveller. An ordinary Jew. Nothing special. Then Jesus speaks. “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” — John 4:10 (NKJV) That’s the pivot point. If she had known—if she had seen rightly—she would have responded differently. Eventually, her perception shifts. After Jesus reveals her past, she says: “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.” — John 4:19 (NKJV) She saw more clearly—and her future was changed. Perception is power. The ability to see rightly, without distortion, gives us clarity in chaos, wisdom in uncertainty, and access to...
