Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
1 Corinthians 2:9 "Eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love Him."
Q. Do you ever wonder what God might say to you when you stand before Him?
Read Luke 19:9-20
You will be judged by what you've been given, how you use what you've been given, and what you gain by what you've been given. So if you don't use the things you have been given correctly, then you will be judged by that.
Q. How are you investing the things God has given you? Have you invested it to multiply it for the Kingdom of God and His glory?
We have ALL been given something to "do business with" until He returns.
Q. What are some of the things God has given you to invest?
Read Malachi 1:1-8 We often want the best from God but won't give God our very best. God has already given us the GREATEST gift through Jesus, His Son.
- Don't give God just anything. Give Him everything. God is not pleased with your anything. He expects your everything. What do you have to offer Him in light of what He's given you? God has given you everything. Start by giving Him your life! He wants your everything.
Q. Can you think of a time that you offered God just anything? How do you give God your everything?
- Don't give God a polluted sacrifice! If your praise is not from your heart and genuine, your praise might not reach God. How do you give Him glory with your body? With your mind? With your spirit? God doesn't want you to give Him half of a praise. He wants your best. He is not happy with YOU when you offer "any type" of praise.
Q. How might you be holding back in your offering to the Lord?
When you give God an offering that is polluted, you have no covering. His mercy endures, but we are talking about salvation - the covering.
God wants your everything. Our praise will never match God's goodness and grace, but He still wants "all you got". So that you will hear Him say "well done, thy good and faithful servant. You've been faithful over a little and I will make you ruler over much."
When you give God all of your best - everything, He will give you much more than you've ever seen before in your life.
