MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 23 January 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Cost-Benefit Analysis
TOPIC: Cost-Benefit Analysis (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 23 January 2019)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 13:44-46
Bible In One Year: Exodus 7-8; Matthew 15:1-20
MEMORY VERSE: “`If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” – Proverbs 2:4-5
The MESSAGE:
What does it profit a man who gains the whole world and losses his soul? What can a man give in exchange for his soul? These are soul-searching questions the Bible asks and expects you to find truthful answers to.
In business and organisation management, there is what is called cost-benefit analysis. Before an organisation decides to execute a project, it first finds out the risks, cost and reward of the project. If the reward is higher than the risk and cost, the project is adjudged good for execution. My study of the Bible reveals that this principle stems from the Scripture.
Samson did not value his spiritual gifts, assignment and ministry above the body of Delilah. His knowledge of cost-benefit analysis was poor and he lost his ministry as well as his glorious destiny. Judas did not value the relationship he had with Jesus and his future apostolic status beyond money. He lost all to avarice, stealing, treachery and disloyalty. He committed suicide and another took his place. Gehazi did not value the double-portion of Elijah’s anointing to the temporary and worldly allurement of money and costly gifts of Naaman. Covetousness and dishonesty were his undoing. He earned Elisha’s curse and he as well as his descendants became lepers.
Beloved, don’t let satan and sin get the better of you. Look before you leap. Everything man does has eternal consequences. Don’t do anything that is capable of ruining your destiny and sending you to hell. If it will not make you rapturable, it is not worth it. If it will ruin your relationship with God and make Him cast you out of His presence, don’t do it. If Adam and Eve weighed their priceless relationship with God side by side with what the devil told and offered them, they wouldn’t have disobeyed God. Whenever temptation comes or you have to make an important decision that borders on your life and eternity, remember always that if it will ruin your relationship with God and send you to hell, it is worth the trouble! You can lose all other things (worldly position, business, career, money, fame, etc.) to gain heaven, just as Paul did. Don’t be like the unwise in the world who sell or lose their souls in exchange for wealth, fame and worldly positions. Be wise!
