INVEST WISELY

Text : Mark  8:36  

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Every single person on  earth has been given a life time opportunity to invest his or her life. You must therefore have it at the back of your mind that, your life is an investment. The question now is: 

1. How do I invest my life?
2. In what do I invest my life?

Having asked yourself these critical questions, it is important to know that every investment could either result in a profit or loss.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, having this investment sense asked the question: What will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Jesus was simply asking his followers about the profit they would make if they gain the whole world. 

For your your soul to be compared to the whole world, it means that it must be an inestimable and priceless _"possession "_ 

 To lose your soul, is to gain the world; and to gain your soul is to lose the world- You surely cannot gain the two To gain the whole world does not necessarily mean  that you  have all the goods of  this world; but that you have the "things" of the Prince of this world in you. 
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.John  14:30

Wether you know it or not, you are investing your life. When you invest your life(soul) on this world, then you wiil eventually lose your soul.(Mathew 16:25).


Bible Reading : Luke 16:19-31.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
