YOUR DIVINE INVESTMENT
YOUR
INVESTMENT INTO THE LIVES OF
FELLOW BELIVERS (THIRTY FOLD RETURNS)
WHEN YOU SEE BELIEVERS IN NEED AND YOU FAIL TO HELP OUT WHEN YOU CAN,
IT
BECOMES A SIN TO YOU,
Memorize: "As
we have therefore opportunity, let us
do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of
faith" (Gal 6:10)
Read: Galatians 6:9-10
9 And let
us not be weary in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do well unto all men, especially unto them who are
of the
household of faith.
"And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and
increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an
hundred" (Mark 4:8).
When you sow on good soil, you will definitely receive your harvest.
The
harvest may be in thirtyfold, sixtyfold or a hundredfold. You can
determine the
kind of harvest you want by the ground you sow on. "As we have
therefore
opportunity, let us do well unto all men, especially unto them who are
of the
household of faith" (Gal 6:10). When you give to fellow believers, your
seed will attract a thirty fold return on your investment. Some
believers think
they lose by meeting the needs of fellow believers. Or that they are
favouring
that needy one by their assistance or sacrifice. Oh, how wrong they
are! When
you invest in shares of publicly quoted companies of your choice, do
you feel
you are doing them a favour or you consider yourself favoured by the
opportunity to multiply your money? If you keep the money to yourself,
it will
depreciate in value or at best maintain status quo.
It is the same with sowing in the Kingdom. If you fail to sow what you
have,
there is no way it can increase. This was why the Master was angry with
the
servant who wrapped his pound in a napkin instead of putting it in the
bank
where it could attract a little interest (Luke 19:12-27). Yes, you
could do
well to all men including unbelievers. The harvest you can get from
sowing into
unbelievers is less than the thirtyfold return except when you lead
that
individual to Christ. That guarantees Heaven's greatest yield. The
greatest
seed you can give to an unbeliever is not money or any other valuable
but
Salvation. But for fellow believers, Paul says you should be the one
looking
out for needy brethren so as to sow into their lives. You have your
thirtyfold
return on that investment. On the other hand, when you see believers in
need
and you fail to help out, it becomes a sin to you. In this regard,
instead of
an opportunity to get thirtyfold returns, you get a minus (James 4:17).
