Price and Reward

TEXT: Dan. 10:1-7, MORE LESSONS: Ps. 128:2.

There is no revival in history without a price; even when we can't tell how it came, someone somewhere past or present, laboured for it. Just as there is no smoke without fire or a baby without pregnancy, revival is always a product of someone's labour. If you want revival, seek for the price and pay it. Daniel's need was not personal, it was for the entire nation of Israel in captivity, yet he paid the price, In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled Dan. 10:2-3.

In addition, Daniel spent many hours in long intercessory prayers, then the answer came (v5). However, when the revelation came, he noted something significant in v7, And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

The lesson is simple: only those who pay the price get the reward. The reason why many have not experienced the spectacular is not because God is partial, but they have not paid the price. God is just, He will give to you that which you have paid for, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap Gal. 6:7.

If you sow to your life fasting and prayer, you will reap miracles and blessings, just for you, it won't be harvested by another person. If you sow financially, you'll reap back financially, good measure, pressed down together, it goes only to your account. If you sow a seed of sin, nobody will harvest your punishment, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him Ezek. 18:20.

God is just, He will pay every man according to his work, Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings Isa. 3:10. Watch what you do in life, the harvest will come directly to you.
