A brother in Christ once dreamt a dream. He was in his house and an angel came in and asked him to follow him. The angel was going to show him his house in Heaven. So they both went into Heaven. They went to a place where there was a marvelous house like a palace. The brother thought "Well, this is my house". The angel as though he read his thoughts told him, " No, No, No, this house is not for you, it is for that elderly woman who sits at the back of the church. She is always praying for her brothers and sisters, day and night". The brother got a bit dissapointed. They kept walking until they reached another marvelous house. The brother thought, " Well, this time this house is definitely mine" " No, No, No, said the angel. This belongs to that humble brother who always goes unnoticed in the church. He always runs to meet his brothers needs and he is there to support everybody who is in any sort of need".' Next time the brorher was not now in any hurry to think anything, but the same thing happened. Not his house. I don't remember how many times he said the same thing was repeated but sometime later on they came to see a house which was not bad but it wasn't a villa either. "This is your house" said the angel. The brother collapsed. But he immediately got the message. It doesn't matter what your position is in the church, it doesn't matter how many talents you were given by God to work with them for Him, but it does matter how well and consistent you work for Him. In Heaven we will be surprised to find out that people who we never thought they had any significance, they will actually have a better wage than others who were the famous ones.
The above story is a real story. The brorher who confessed it to us is the pastor of one of the most significant and crowded reborn congregations in my country. A lesson to be learnt by all of us.
Today I' m going to tell you a story.
