TEXT: MATHEW 10: 22, 29 – 42
MEMORY VERSE: Therefore, my beloved brethren are you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of Lord, for as much as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
INTRODUCTION
Discipleship has its responsibility, duties, cost and reward. However reward of a disciple is far higher than a price that can be paid. (11 Corinthians 4: 16 – 17, Hebrew 12: 2). This is reward in service, if you men who are evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him (Mathew 7: 11)
LESSON: DISCIPLES REWARDS
