Hi, Jesus said, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus never said being a christain would be easy, but He has promised that He will be with us always, even in Good times and bad times, right up until the end of the world...
We should be focusing on the things that are above not on the things of the earth, if you have a Job, a home, food, clothes, or whatever, these are all blessings from God..
Jesus promises those who endure to the end wil be saved..Thats a promise...

All the promises are in the Word, God's tender mercies to us. The biggest pay-off of course is after death, we get to be with Jesus for eternity, and receive a reward if we have progressed well in our faith.
Here are some of the earthly rewards:
1. Guidance and strength through the Holy Spirit.
2. Gods Love of course. Joy. Peace. "Sharing in the divine nature". Developed through faith, and fellowship.
3. Some measure of persecution unfortunately, since there is a Devil at work in people's lives ("the god of this world") as well as people pursuing distorted and at times oppressive agendas.
4. Fellowship with other believers and compensation in them if we lose human friends and family through faith choice.
5. Healing, but this is dependent on faith, or through the anointing and Gods glorious presence (the "Glory")
6. Being made rich in wisdom, capability, virtue so we are "blessed to be a blessing." Again need to build faith to get the blessing.
7. Spiritual gifts that may be received through prayer or impartation
8. God can bless us financially if we have a heart for His Kingdom purposes, and won't get corrupted.

God does not promise anything in life. His promise is in the afterlife. If you believe in Jesus with your heart not just your head you are promised eternal life after your mortal body dies. God does not promise you a bed of roses in life nor should any Christian tell you that if you accept Jesus in your life that it will be all sunshine and puppy dogs. lol

God promised to the good Christain the advent of new order and return of the Christ to installing thesupreacy of God.

He promised a lot, life and life abundantly, now and eternally. He promised trouble and persecution and more. He promised to send His Spirit as a comforter. All this and more. Try reading one of the Gospels. Take it from me it's worth it.

Seems like you have a deal going with God! You worship - He provides .... sorry hon, God's gift to you is LIFE, YOUR gift to God is what you do with that life! You appear to want some sort of payback for your workship... 10 bucks for an hour of worship?... hmmm...?

Your question sounds like you want God to give you something back for worshipping Him...which isn't what worship is for.
We worship Him cos He's given us life, eternal life, He's given us everything and is everlasting. Isn't that something to worhsip him for?
It's like you doing a MASSIVE favour for your best friend but then, when they praise you for it, the also say 'so what are you going to give me for doing that favour for me?'. Doesn't really work like that!
God bless.

His heart if you want. His free mind. Not a stupid robot like many religions make with their humans.
