God Rewards the Righteous

 Moses
         
At first God made covenant relationship with Abraham in about 2000 B.C. Then He made covenant relationship with Isaac in 1900 B.C and then He made covenant relationship with Jacob in about 1800 B.C. According to the Covenant relationship, God gave the Promise Land /Canaan/ to be a country for these patriarchs to be their land for their generations.  

       
In the mean time, God became silent for four hundred thirty years. In this long time, people of Israel became slaves in Egypt. While they were slaves, they suffered a lot.
       
God saw in 1350 BC, when people of Israel suffered from slavery. Because of this, He renewed His covenant relationship with Moses. When God renewed His covenant relationship with Moses, He said, ”I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cry. I will deliver them from the land of Egypt. I will bring them to Canaan, the land of honey and milk with a strong arm and outstretched hand." See Exodus 3:7-8 and Exodus 6:1.


Gideon
       
Gideon was at first a timid person, but when filled with Holy Spirit, he became the mightiest commander and liberator of Israel.


Joshua
       
Joshua is another. While he was in Egypt he was an ordinary slave, but when Moses on their way to the Promise Land laid his hands up on him and prayed for him, he became the most ardent follower of Jesus. To be a man of God is good. When filled with Holy Spirit, the Lord speaks by you. His word will be on your tongue. See 2nd Sam. 23:1-2.


Esther

Women, besides taking the leading role in delivering babies, taking care of the household management, they also raise their kids in a proper way. On the top of that, they work hard, taking power in offices; they take care of the right job. Also, stepping forward in chaotic conditions, they bring order and peace in their countries. Some of these women are like Queen Esther of Persia and Queen Sheba of Ethiopia.
       
Esther is one of the powerful women in world history. Her story takes place in Susa, the capital of Persian Empire. After King Xerxes divorced his queen, he married her and made her the new queen of the Persian Empire. Before she married the king, Esther was raised by Medicaid, her cousin. He was working as a palace official. When Haman tried to wipe out Israel, in the Persian Empire, praying for three days, Ester saved Israel from the attempted genocide. See Esther Chap. 4.


Queen Sheba
         
Queen Sheba linked the political, social and religious relationship between Ethiopia and Israel in 960 B.C. See 1st Kings Chapter 10. Also see Luke 10:31 how she judges the wicked in Heaven. All this happens because she loves God.
