"The Best Investment You’ll Ever Make"

“Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven — it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well.” (1 Timothy 6:18-19 TLB)

 Generosity is an investment. Luke 16:9 says, “Use your worldly resources to benefit others” (NLT, second edition). I’ve said many times that you can’t take it with you. Did you know that mortuaries sell burial suits? They’re for people who want to be buried in a suit but don’t have one. Do you know what the difference is in a burial suit? There are no pockets in them! It’s true! You don’t need them, because you can’t take it with you. But you can send it on ahead.

How do you do that? By investing in people who are going there.
The Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:18-19, “Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven — it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well” (TLB).
Every time you are generous with the poor, a friend, or a neighbor, God says you’re storing up treasure in the bank of Heaven. Your time on Earth is only about 80 and at the most 100 years. You’ll spend trillions of years in eternity. Where do you need to have the biggest account?
There’s no greater investment than the Kingdom of God. When you help other people with your time, your money, your resources — whatever you’ve got — you are actually making an investment in Heaven. Your investment is protected in Heaven. It pays good rates. It’s proven. There are great dividends and no risks.
You’re not going to get that kind of investment anywhere else!

God you want me to learn to invest with show generous to the people I came in contact. I know that's the calling. I will willing to obey, please do help me oh Lord. Praise Lord!

“The congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul … all things were common property to them.” (Acts 4:32 NASB)

When we’re generous with each other, we draw closer to each other, and that creates community.

Someone from my church sent me a letter once that read: “My neighbor asked if he could borrow my ladder, and I said of course. I later learned that he already had one of his own. He didn’t need to borrow my ladder; he just used it as a way to build our relationship. When he borrowed my stuff, it made me feel that I was needed, and I liked that feeling. I’ve now learned to do the same thing with my other neighbors. Another neighbor has a shop vac, and I borrow it every Friday night to clean my car with my son. In fact, now Roger leaves it out for me. I told Roger recently that I could afford to buy my own shop vac, but I just like the interaction of borrowing his. Roger asked me to please not buy one for myself. He had learned to see the connection between generosity and community.”

The Bible says in Matthew 6:21, “Your heart will be where your treasure is” (NCV). In other words, whatever you put your time, money, and energy into is what’s going to attract you. So any time I’m generous with you or with the poor or with anybody, that’s where my heart tends to go. Every time I give to God, it draws my heart closer to God. And every time I give to you, it draws my heart closer to you.

The first Christians were famous for their generosity. Acts 4:32 tells us that “the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul … all things were common property to them” (NASB). They were a family. Their sharing was voluntary. It wasn’t communism. Communism says, “What’s yours is mine, and I’m going to take it.” Christianity says, “What’s mine is yours, and you can share it with me.”

As a parent, do you enjoy watching your kids share with each other? Of course you do. One of the primary lessons of life is learning how to share. When you see your kids being unselfish, you’re very happy about that.

God is the same way! When God looks down on us and sees us being generous with each other, he goes, “That’s my boy! That’s my girl! They’re doing what I want them to do,” because God is generous, and he wants us to become like him. Generosity creates community.

Thank God that remind me to be generous to the other brother and sister. God, you are my great provider. Everything from me was given by you. I shouldn't hold back any chances to serve and give. This is your what you want me to do.

Thank you for you presence as well in this morning. When I'm listening to the sermon on the Audacious service 2014 on City Harvest Church Penang, your spirit talk to me. I weep and soak in your presence. I know recently what I'm asking been answer. What's my question on my inner heart has the answer. Lord, I know the waiting time is to build my character in your favor and to fulfill the dream you have put inside of me. Thank You Lord!!! I want to be a favor of you, Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit please lead me and guide me. I surrender to you Lord! 

01062015 serving together

Today when I have my quiet time spend with my dearest God, God let me learn about how to serving together in a team (with our brother and sister in Christ)

I read and listen to a devotion plan by Rick Warren - Part 5 Better together. 
In the sermon, it taught me how to serve together. That's I really need to learn as our youth camp is near the corner. We should spend more time in serving together. 

“… agree with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose.”

Phil. 2:2 (NLT)

1. Because we’re family.

“We work together as partners who belong to God.”

1 Cor. 3:9 (NLT)

If you’re in God’s family, God wants you to get along with the other family members. In fact, God is more interested in the relationships you build during service together than he is in the service that you do. He wants you to learn to get along with the family of God.

2. Because we need each other

We need each other to serve. Nobody has all the talents. Nobody has all the gifts. God did it that way intentionally so that you would need me and I would need you and we would need each other.

“… Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of Christ’s Body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we?”

Rom. 12:5 (Mes)

3.Because we get more done

“Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively.”

Eccl. 4:9 (GN)

“The one who plants and the one who waters work as a team with the same purpose.”

1 Cor. 3:8 (NLT)

Teamwork multiplies effectiveness.

There are more thing to learn about, but I know the Holy Spirit will guide me. 

When I pray, it guides me through as well. Praise Lord!!!

 

The Six Phases Of Faith by Rick Warren

"Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, "Let it happen, then, just as you believe!" Matthew 9:29 (TEV)

"When things don't happen on our timetable, we tend to run ahead of God and create detours to make it happen. You may end up making the wrong decision."

 

God takes our belief and he blesses us through it, and that makes life a great adventure. It is critical that we cooperate with God as he builds faith within us. Because of its importance, I hope to share the SIX PHASES of FAITH by Rick Warren
Phase 1—Dream: 

Do I have a dream planted in me by God? If you don't have a dream, start praying, "God give me your dream." If you can't write down the dream God has given you, you need to be praying. If you don't have a dream, you're not living, you're just existing. God placed you on this earth for a purpose.

Phase 2—Decision: 

Do I need to make a faith-decision that will help that dream become a reality? Some of you have a dream from God, but you haven't made a decision to follow it. You're still on the fence. God's word for you is "Go for it!" Some of you may need to make the decision to give your life to Christ. Some of you may need to make the decision to join a church. Some of you may need to make the decision to get involved in ministry.

Phase 3—Delay:

What has caused my dream to be delayed? If your prayer hasn't been answered, that's okay. It just means you're in God's waiting room. Now is not the time to detour. When things don't happen on our timetable, we tend to run ahead of God and create detours to make it happen. You may end up making the wrong decision.  Wait, wait, and wait for God to work his hand.  

Delay is not the denial. Delay never destroy God's purpose in your life. God's waiting room is our training room.

Phase 4—Difficulty: 

What difficulties have I faced waiting for the dream to be fulfilled? You are being tested, but it's not going to be the last time. You'll go through many, many tests in life. God says, "I know exactly what you're going through. I see it.  I'm watching. Don't think I've forgotten you—I haven't."

Phase 5—Dead End: 

Have I come to a dead end yet? Some of you are there ready to give up. But the truth is—you're right where God wants you. You're getting prepared for deliverance. God's word for you is "Hang on! Keep on believing! Don't give up!"  

Phase 6—Deliverance: 

Do I expect and trust God to deliver me? "According to your faith will it be done to you." (Matthew 9:29 NIV) God is faithful. What he tells us to do, he will do. But it doesn't happen overnight. You go through the faith-phases of Dream, Decision, Delay, Difficulty, and Dead End . . . and then comes Deliverance.

For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37 NKJV)

Lord, I know whatever thing which comes in my life. I know you are in control. I know my life was in your hand. Nothing is impossible as that's your promises in me. I shall live happily, peacefully, lovely and no matter what's come in front of me, I know I can handle as God you are with me.
