Once Israel was saved from Egypt, they followed a cloud and fire… God’s presence.
The cloud and fire goes before us. We can’t allow it to get behind us.
Our greatest encounters with God are not behind us. The cloud and fire are before us. The best is yet to come!
Jesus said, “Seek first the Kingdom,” then and only then, “all things shall be added.”
For some reason, we read that today as “Seek first all these things, then you’ll get the Kingdom.”
No, we must practice our pursuit of everything God’s way.
The Sheep and the Goats in Mt. 25 were separated based on:
- Who fed the hungry
- Who was hospitable to strangers
- Who clothed the poor
- Who cared for the sick
- Who visited the prisoner
My financial abundance is tied to my financial stewardship.
A tough pill to swallow, but if there's no abundance, you've got to ask: How's my stewardship?
In the Parable of the Talents, money was given to them according to their ability.
It's Biblical - If you want to steward more money, increase your abilities!
