investment


Festival of first harvest and festival of harvest is to express gratitude to God of what He has done.
 Acknowledging it is God who did this, it is God who blessed us with our daily needs.
The festival of unleavened bread proclaims about Jehovah Nissi. The festival of first harvest and harvest proclaims about Jehovah Jireh.
When Jesus taught to pray, He taught us to trust in God for our daily needs. - Give us this day our daily bread.

We need not ask God to bless us with luxury. More than what we need.

Pro:30:8-9 Don't make me either rich or poor. Just give me enough food for each day. If I have too much I might reject you and say I don't know the Lord. if I am poor I might steal and disgrace the name of my God.

If we have luxury, our trust will be set in the money we have, about our future and about our family.
I am not against investing or insuring. But that the amount of money you reserve shouldn't even cross your mind when you think about your family's future. 
Psalm:62:10 And if your wealth increases don't make it the center of your life. 

What a powerful admonition to follow!

Remember the parable of the rich fool? He was investing wisely according to the world's standards. But God calls him a fool because he was not rich unto God.
Matt:6:24 says you cannot serve two masters. Which one do you want to be devoted to and which one do you want to despise.

Instead if we learn and teach our children to invest in God they will also be trusting in God for their lives - no matter what.

Amazed - Poem

Matt:8:9 Does your faith amaze Him or disappoint Him?  I have never ever seen faith like this - Will He tell this about you?  I have never ever seen love like this?  I have never ever seen joy like this?  How do you amaze Him?  The All Knowing; The Creator God was amazed What is it that amazes Him in you; dear one?  Your rebellion? Your inconsistency? Your disobedience?  How much should I put up with you, bard?  Time to eat solid food. Time to provide too Whilst you are still drinking; still being fed.  What amazes Him in you dear one?  Your faithlessness or your unfaithfulness?  Your lack of love to Him?  Your lack of indignation to things which He hates?  Lord, Your grace; it amazes me.  Rebellious as I was. Enemy as I was.  Sinner as I am. You still love me.  What is there that you are mindful of me?  That i would be even considered.  Even more. You made me your child.  Grateful as I am. Kn...

Whom do you listen to?

Matt:11:18-19 John didn't spend his time eating and drinking.  Whilst the Son of man feasts and drinks. Both were found fault by the society and labelled.  Whatever you do, there would be people to criticise you and point fingers at you. But as long as you are I'm the center of God's plan and you are sure that you are pleasing God, then you need not bother.  People even from your own fellowship, your own family may blame you for those decisions. Forget about the world who doesn't know your Master. But if you do, after putting in much prayer and take decisions in accordance with what God tells you to do, then why bother about what others have to say. As long as you are sure that it is from God you listen.  John was bold enough to ask the society to repent not bothering about what they told about him. So was Jesus. He kept on doing what He had come to do.  You are affected by what people say about you. Then you are some one who tries to perform before ...

Balanced equation

Everyone who acknowledges me publicly, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.  Matt:10:32-33 The equation is very simple. If you acknowledge that you follow Jesus publicly here on earth; He will also acknowledged you before the Father in Heaven. The devil might lodge a claim that you are his. But the moment the Son of God acknowledges you, His righteousness, the Father sees in you and you are justified.  But if you have denied Him in this earth. He will also deny you. Whether you accept it or not. This is the truth.  Rom:10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  Image credit:  https://www.wikihow.com/Balance-Chemical-Equations

Founded

Founded on a rock Matt:7:25 Where is your life founded on? Rock or sand? Unless you know the word of God; unless you live according to it, when storms and wind hit you straight on your face, you will fall for sure. And that too, great would be that fall.  In this world you will have much trouble, and when troubles strike you hard, this is how you stay strong. Stay rooted in the truths of the Word of God. Make your foundations right.  Not just a mere knowledge, not just an acquaintance. But living it out. This Christmas, let's make our foundations deep and strong. Let us know Him more. Let us live Him more.  Image credit: https://pathwayheart.com/the-lighthouse-in-the-storm/

Unconventional route

When Jesus does miracles and blessings in our lives, we need Him. But when He does it in a different way, when He does it in a way in which it costs us, do we still need Him?  Matt:8:34. The entire town came out to meet Jesus, but begged Him to go away and leave them alone.  Because they suffered financial loss. There, sitting before them were two men who have just been delivered from a legion of evil spirits. The hand of God is quiet obvious. But financial loss is what they blame Him with.  If God asks you to take unconventional routes, do you become uncomfortable? Routes which cost you, your time, your finances, your privacy, your reputation and name? What is more important to you determines what you do. What other things you forsake.  We are no less than the Gaderenes who closed their eyes to the miracle in front of their eyes, yet clinging on to the loss they suffered. Silly and pitiful.  Image credit:  https://beunsettled.co/blog/what-does-...

Storm

I have captained this ship for years. I have faced many a strom. But never has Captain Zadok been so helpless. What is happening? Why this outrage? The waves are higher than ten times what I have faced. There is ruckus all over this deck. The mast is broken. What is left of it is a ghost. The rudder has flewn off like a wheel. The anchor is lost. The stern is like a ploughed field. The shrouds are like harp strings, waving around and causing much damage. Shredding pieces of wood and flesh and blood everywhere it hits.There is vomit all around. The ocean water occasionally washes it into my own room and brings it back. The luggages are all floating.  All of the crew is running havoc. Captain Zadok, what should we do? Captain Zadok shall we pull down the sail? Captain Zadok shall i call on my gods? You call on your gods, I used to tell, but I have got this. But have I? Is there somebody up there laughing at the gimmicks that i have been showing althrough my life? Asking m...

Do you know your God? A prose

Who is this man? Even the winds and the waves obey Him. Matt:8:27 Have you know your God enough?  Do you know whom you follow?  Are you aware of your Father's power?  Even the winds and waves obey Him.  Is He able to calm the storm? Oh! Yes.  Even when you have so little a faith? Absolutely.  The Almighty. The All Powerful. The All Knowing God.  Is your Wonderful Counsellor. Eternal Father. Prince of Peace.  This Sovereign God is on your side.  Then who can be against you.  Is He able to sort out your life? Yes.  Is He able to organize your life? Truly.  Then why can't we trust Him?  That's because we don't know Him well enough.  Image credit:  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/image/jesus-calms-the-storm-5c4cb06?lang=eng
