Being honored by God

If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. John 12:26

When a person truly serves God, they take pleasure in what they do. No matter where they are or what has been given to them to be done. They  know that it is not enough just to say that  they are  servants, much less wear a uniform, above all they  keep their word, and  the vow that was made to the Most High God to serve Him throughout their lives.

However, there are many who start well and were giving their best, but as the time went by they changed their focus. They failed to serve God and begun to serve and to please the man or themselves. To these the Lord Jesus says,

'Bondservants, be obedient to Those Who are your masters According to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, to the Christ; not with eyeservice, the men-pleasers, but the bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, the to the Lord, and not to men, Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, Whether he is a slave or free. Ephesians 6.5-8

When the Lord Jesus promised to honor someone, He was very clear when he said, "one who serves me, follows me …there are two fundamental conditions. Serve, or do the work of God, helping the needy, evangelizing, caring for people, coaching, healing, preaching the gospel. And following me, that's exactly to obey his word, it is to manifest his character before the people and give good testimonies especially to outsiders. 

It is useless to do a lot, but still having a bad character. living in lies, falsehood and deceiving people. those who proceed in this way are those who are serving themselves and not God, they are those who are more worried  with the title they have and the position they occupy. These are exactly the ones that cause divisions, gossip and sow strife among the servants, pastors and even among members of the Church. They will never be honored, on the contrary, sooner or later will be put into shame by the devil. 

But those who serve God and continue to live a life according to the Scriptures, these certainly at the right time, will be honored
