Don't Trust Money

Life will have its issues and money is not the solution. Most of the time we think that if we only had the money then everything will be okay. But that is hardly the case. Trusting in money is like putting your hopes on weak foundation, it will cave in. Believing that your money will carry you through will just lead you to wrong priorities and can even lead to self destruction.


Money is a utility we use and we have need of it. But life is not about getting all the money so you can live happily ever after. No, life is not at all like that. The fact is, money will NOT always be there. No matter how hard you wish for money to always be there, it will not always be there. That's why you cannot trust money. Even the banks run out of money. The ATM machines run out of money. Financial institutions can collapse!

Don't count on your money. Don't lean on it. Some people have fallen into the deception that money is all they need and so they steal, they plunder, they rob, and swindle. The most successful robbers don't need to go to the counter and point a gun. They have more sophisticated means.

The truth of the matter is, whether you have the money or not, the issues of life will always be there. It's because God has created us to be contingent on Him. He created us for Himself, to be in relationship with Him, to be one with Him, and not for us to be consumed together with all the temporary pleasures that we can experience in this temporary life.

When life gets tough, what we need is the enabling grace of God to see us through the hard times, and He will.

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

Strengthening ROL

There are many doctrines that we do not know about, and some of them I am also just learning right now. But they are not really necessary and I believe that a Christian doesn't need to know all of them because most of these doctrines are actually devices by the enemy. But we must be fully grounded in the truth so that we may be able to test each of these doctrines when they come around. I am confident that we have the Holy Spirit in us and so we know the truth. What we know cannot be wrong because we know whom we learned them from. It may be that we know only a few things, but these few things always align themselves to the truth because we have received them from the Spirit himself. The teaching that “once saved always saved” really doesn't hold and the doctrine easily crumbles at the words of our Lord in the beginning chapters of the book of Revelations: Rev 2:5   Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto t...

Evolution

As I drive through the streets of Doha, a curious detail keeps drawing my gaze: the kaleidoscope of car side mirrors—even for something so functional, each one looks different—some round, some square, some with tiny LED lights, others with that classic chrome finish. They’re all mirrors, yet each bears its own unique style. I can almost imagine not knowing anything about how cars are made and thinking… “Car evolution?” Could these variations have evolved themselves? It’s a silly—and amusing—thought. Of course, car manufacturers deliberately design these parts with purpose. Engineers and designers craft each mirror to suit a certain need or aesthetic. And then it hit me: our lives are much like those designs. Just as each mirror varies in design and purpose, God shapes us uniquely. No two paths—or people—are identical, and He doesn’t mass-produce faith or life. We are each intentionally designed. So, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold, remember—you're not a manufa...
