Making Your Investment Count!
GOD does not hold the world accountable for supporting His Great Commission He gave us but rather His own people – and He even set up an eternal investment fund for them to reap eternal rewards for doing so (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, etc.).
Jesus did not tell His people not to invest. He did however tell us where to and where not to invest.
If we invest in business or retirement accounts or anything on the earth, we may or may not get our money back much less get it back with interest. In contrast, every time, without fail, that we invest in God’s kingdom, it will yield eternal reward with divine interest.
The Son of God taught us this:
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
Also, we should take close heed to the words of our LORD in verse 21 above. Here in this brief life, “WHERE” we choose to put our treasures is exactly where the affections of our heart will be. In fact, if we will take account of and consider how we have been putting our money into earthly things only and/or not putting God first when we get paid, we will see why our hearts have grown cold (Proverbs 3:9-10). I know this is not easy but it is essential in getting our lives in order and the blessing that await are untold! Though a day of rest or tithing are not requirements for salvation, the quality of our lives in Christ are greatly enhanced when we follow His wisdom. All who cut out from the very top a portion for the LORD, will testify to the exuberance of their faith. Getting our stewardship/finances in God’s order will do wonders for our life with Christ. Do you want to get on fire, perhaps where you once were? if so, begin putting your money where your mouth is. Give into the needs of those around you and into Christ’s work. Do your part. Seek first and foremost His kingdom and all those others things you are praying for will be added to your life! Did He not promise? (Matthew 6:33)
Do you desire a clear conscience without which you cannot truly enjoy this life? Read Haggai 1 and discover just why God allowed holes in the pockets and purses of His own people. “There is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9) The same sin exists today in many who claim Christ as Savior and the same divine solution is available to appropriate – if we will simply be “willing and obedient” we shall “eat the good of the land.” (Isaiah 1:19-20)
Is resting one day a week (observing a day of worship and rest) necessary for New Testament Christians? No. Is it a sin to do? No, unless one believes that somehow makes them more righteous. Does God bless those who do observe a day of rest in order worship Him unhindered and replenish? Yes. Now, turn that same logic over to giving the first portion of our income to Christ. Is tithing commanded under the New Testament? No. Does God still bless those who do put their very “firstfruits” into what glorifies Him?
“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
“Laying up in store a … a good foundation”
“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” 1 Timothy 6:17-19
It seems obvious in this passage (and others) that those who have extra in this life must give in order to prepare for judgment and to “lay hold on eternal life.” God is going to bring the rich into judgment for the way they spent those riches – to further His Gospel cause which would include feeding the poor, equity among His saints, and helping New Testament ministries.
Did you note that the “rich” are to be “ready” and “willing to communicate (give)”?
SOLID investments get no better than Christ’s kingdom! Matthew 6:19-21
HOW a Gospel outreach that is now reaching over 6k people daily (on ministry website alone) with God’s Word can go days and sometimes weeks without a single online donation, seems a bit shocking! Wow. Bibles, Christ-centered Scripture-rich books going forth, poor being fed, prisoners receiving Gospel resources, etc. Just going to keep doing HIS work and hope more others who claim Christ will participate. What’s 1 John 3:18 say?

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Goal of the Ungodly Eternal Security Teachers [podcast]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“This is AWESOME! You got all over it. It really flowed. Excellent! In the delivery, your excitement and passion for this subject are unmistakable. How can ANYONE listen to this and not want to check out the Word of God for themselves?” Debbie L.
“Thy prophets (false leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (exposed) thine iniquity (have not uncovered your sin), to turn away thy captivity (to get you set free from it); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment (ultimate termination into hell).” Lamentations 2:14
COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)
