THE GATE HAMMIPHKAD

THE GATE HAMMIPHKAD 💂‍♀

Nehemiah 3:31 After him Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs as far as the house of the Nethinim and of the merchants, in front of the Miphkad Gate, and as far as the upper room at the corner.

 The Miphkad Gate was located at the northeast corner of the city. The Hebrew word has a military connotation and refers to the mustering of the troops for numbering and inspection. When our Lord returns, He will gather His people together and review their works in preparation for giving out rewards for faithful service.

🔆For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Each of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans 14:10-12🔆

Every believer has the opportunity to serve the Lord. When Jesus comes back He will review our lives and reward faithful service.  Although believers cannot lose their salvation they can lose their reward. This will result in grief and shame for them.

🔆Application🔆

Will you receive a reward for faithful service at Christ's judgment?

Or will you be ashamed?
