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.

How do you know?

I asked: How do you know that when you die you will be with Jesus? Somebody said: 1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And WHAT are these who believe... 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... And what shall become of those who believe... Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. I said: Yes, sure the Bible tells us that, and our Pastors tell us that. But how are you so sure that indeed you have eternal life? And again he says: Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED. This is the glorious future of those whom the Father foreknew. Again I s...

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they be...
