Divine Economics

Divine Economics:

Beloved brethren, today I want us to understand the major fundamental principle of Divine Economics. Which is the Principle of Divine Multiplication. 

As we sow, so shall we reap.

And the reaping will always be a multiple of what is sown.

This principle is not just a nice idea, but a fundamental spiritual truth backed by the very Word of God.

In Luke 6:38 KJV, reads:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; 
good measure, 
pressed down, 
and shaken together, 
and running over, 
shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

When we are generous with Our Time, Our Talents and Our Treasures, God honours our generosity and returns it to us in abundance. 

The more we "Pour Out", the more He "Pours In". 

The principle of sowing and reaping, unlocks the principle of multiplication. It opens the floodgates of Heaven for divine provision. 

Let us learn to give joyfully and faithfully, trusting in the unfailing promise of our Heavenly Father. 

I am not only talking about giving in church. No, No, No, this principle applies across the board. 

Generosity will always result in multiplication. 

A generous man will always abound with blessings. 

In Proverbs 11:25 KJV the Bible says:

"The liberal soul shall be made fat: 
and he that watereth shall be watered also himself"

In NIV the verse reads,

"A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed"

When we embrace a lifestyle of generosity, we will keep reaping harvests of blessings beyond our wildest dreams.

Be generous: It is for your good.

Love and Hospitality

Love and Hospitality:

Beloved brethren, today I want us to go back to some basic principles of real Christianity. 

I want us to talk about love and hospitality. 

We will draw our inspiration from, 1 Peter 4:8-9 NIV, which reads,

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling."

When we lead with love, we cover over a multitude of sins. 

Love is patient, 
Love is kind, 
And love is forgiving. 

Love sees the good in each person, even when it's difficult to locate such.

Love empowers us to relate with people and tolerate them without stress. 

We are also called to offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 

It means welcoming others into our lives and our homes warmly: making them feel at peace, at home, and appreciated.

This kind of love and hospitality has the power to heal, restore and unite people in ways beyond our imagination. 

Love and hospitality will minister to people about our God, in ways our words can never do.

People can forget your words, but not your love and hospitality.

Christ The Bishop of Our Souls

Christ The Bishop of Our Souls:

Beloved brethren, today I want to emphasis on the need to know Christ as the Bishop of our Souls.

Apostle Peter makes it so plain for us in 1 Peter 2:25 KJV,

"For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."

In New Living Translation (NLT), this scripture reads:

"Once you were like sheep who wandered away. 
But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls".

New International Version (NIV) reads,

"For you were like sheep going astray,
but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."

We were once lost, wandering aimlessly like wayward sheep. 

But the Good Shepherd found us and brought us back to the fold. (John 10:12)

We are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls.

May we always follow His voice and keep our eyes fixed upon Him: (John 10:27)

He is the Guardian, the Overseer and the Bishop who watches over our souls.

Your Miracles Are in Your Hands

Your Miracles Are in Your Hands:

Beloved brethren, today I want to encourage someone who may be hearing voices of insufficiency and inadequacy in their inside.

Those voices are from the enemy. From the pit of hell.

God has already put seeds of greatness in your hand. He has loaded great potentials in the ordinary tools you already possess. 

When Moses stood before the burning bush, in Exodus 4:2, God asked him a simple question:- 

"What is that in thine hand?"

Moses replied, "A rod." 

This was the same rod Moses had used to shepherd sheep for decades. 

He didn't know that God had already packaged this humble stick with the power to work miracles.

In Exodus  4:17 KJV, God told Moses:, 

"Thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs" 

That same rod would be used to part the Red Sea, bring plagues upon Egypt, and manifest the power of God in Egypt and in the Wilderness. 

You may be feeling your talents, resources, or opportunities are insignificant, insufficient, small, little, finito, etc.

But, if you put what is in your hands: your gifts, your passions, and your experiences, into the hands of God: He can use them to do extraordinary things for you and many others. 

The world may be seeing only a simple "Old Rod" in your hands. But God is seeing the potential for many miracles. 

Have faith that whatever is in your hands is more than enough, when placed in the hands of God. 

Don't let people despise your talents, your gifts, your skills, your integrity etc.

Use these "rods" faithfully, and watch God work wonders through you.

Ask For Help On Time

Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help:

Beloved brethren, today I want to encourage someone to ask for help, and ask for it without delay, and without shame.

A song writer wrote a song titled:

"Closed mouth don't get fed." 

This reminds us that we need to speak up, and ask for help when we need it.

In Psalms 81:10 KJV, the Bible says:

"......open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it".

Too often, we try to struggle through life on our own, unwilling to admit when we need help. 

But that is a good recipe for burn-out and missed opportunities.

Asking for help is a sign of wisdom and not weakness. 

We all need support from others, from time to time. No human being is self-sufficient.

Tapping for help from others can make a lot of difference.

Matthew 7:7 KJV says: 

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." 

Don't delay. 
Reach out. 
Don't die in silence. 

Ask for what you need, and watch how doors start to open.

Living Right in A Wrong World.

Living Right, In A Wrong World.

Beloved brethren, today I want us to be encouraged and empowered to "Live Right in a Wrong World". 

Two Scriptures in New Living Translation (NLT) Bible version pricked my heart this morning. 

1 Peter 2:12, 15 NLT reads:

12. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.

15. It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you.

As followers of Christ, we are called to live with purpose, intention and integrity: 
even among those who do not share our faith. 

When we conduct ourselves with integrity, honour and respect, even those who may make evil or foolish accusations against us will ultimately glorify God.

When we face wrong accumulations, rather than retaliate or defend ourselves, we can trust that our honourable character will speak volumes on our behalf. 

In a world full of negativity, envy and conflict, let us shine the light of Christ through our lifestyles of grace, kindness, and steadfast faith.

May your honourable character silence your critics.

May you be a shining example in a dark world. 

Live Right in a Wrong world.

Divine Economics

Divine Economics:

Beloved brethren, today I want us to examine one of the foundational principle of Divine Economics. The principle of divine multiplication. 

As we sow, so shall we reap. The more we give, the more we receive. 

This principle is not just a nice idea, but a profound spiritual truth backed by the very Word of God.

In Luke 6:38 KJV, reads:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; 
good measure, 
pressed down, 
and shaken together, 
and running over, 
shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

When we are generous and freely give of our time, talents and treasures, God honours that and returns it to us in abundance. 

The more we "pour out", the more He "pours in". 

The principle of sowing and reaping, unlocks the floodgates of Heaven for divine provision. 

Let us learn to give joyfully, trusting in the unfailing promise of our Heavenly Father. 

When we do, we will reap a harvest of blessing beyond our wildest dreams.
