READ:
MATTHEW 19:16-30
God expects
every one of us to wisely husband the resources that are graciously given to
us. We must use earthly resources to prepare for our heavenly home. The best
way to use our resources is to channel them into the work of God. If you have
all the money in the world but fail to use it to reach out to lost souls, you
are pauper in heaven’s estimation. One soul is worth more than all the money in
the world. The Bible says, “Jesus said to him, if you want to be
perfect, go sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure
in heaven; and come, follow Me.” (Matthew 19:21). You should spend
money to win souls. Again, the Bible says, “And I will very gladly spend and
be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am
loved.” 2 Corinthians 12:15. You must spend and be spent to make sure
that your converts get to Heaven. The best way to get abundant blessings in
Heaven is not only to spend money and win souls here; you must also make sure
that the souls get to heaven. If your convert do not get to heaven, there will
be no record of them. You better cling to all your converts. They are your
greatest treasures. The number of people you get to Heaven will determine
whether you will be part of the overcomers or you will be among the others. Why
lay your treasures in Heaven, if you are born again? If you are not born again,
do not spend money for God. If you claim to be born again while you are not
holy, do not worry about winning souls. Do not worry about giving money to God.
Do not worry about laying treasures in Heaven because, without holiness, no man
shall see God. If you want God to accept your gift, just give HIM your heart
before giving Him your gift. Are you laying your treasures in Heaven?
MEMORIZE:
2 CORINTHIANS 12:15 - And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls;
though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
