I recently met with man who is a huge success in the investment world. He attributes much of his success to God's leading and to learning the skills of sharing the process and going in the right direction.
Ecclesiastes 5:14 (NLT) --- Money is put into risky investments that turn sour, and everything is lost. In the end, there is nothing left to pass on to one's children.
Whether you are thinking of NASDAQ and Wall Street or your Christian life, investments are something we need to think about.
What are we investing our money in? How long will it last? What will the returns be? Can I support my family or live through retirement?
What am I investing my life in? Does this stuff last? Am I making a difference?
Fact is, both of those sets of questions ought to lead us to seeing ourselves using what God has given us to invest in His kingdom. The people that invest the most end up with the largest dividends. The results are worth the sacrifice. Think about Jesus. How did He invest His life in us? He gave everything?
What are the investments that you are hanging your hat on or watching all the time? That answer will tell you and others about your priority of God's kingdom and His plan. Everything we do must be about investing in God and investing God's way.
A gentleman asked me a question last night about people who give or tithe off their tax return. Great thought and great investment. I've been doing that for years.
At The Community Fellowship we know that God guided us to this place and will be providing for us along the way. What we do is serve Him, manage what we have well and believe Him for what it takes. The people willing to invest in His kingdom here are going to see huge results. Those are not only investments in giving but investments in time and energy.
Matthew 6:19-21 (NLT) --- " Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
God wants us to invest in what makes a difference for eternity. How is your investment portfolio looking?
