TOPIC: Send It On Ahead (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Friday, 22 June 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:19-20

MEMORY VERSE: “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”Proverbs 11:24

The MESSAGE:

Storing up treasure in heaven is not limited to only your acts of obedience to God; it extends to giving. Psalm 24 verse 1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof”. God owns everything. God in His loving kindness has made us stewards over all His creation. What we do with His creation is of utmost concern to Him. A farmer whose land yielded a bountiful harvest received from the Lord because it was the land that produced the harvest and not the man. If God has placed blessings/riches in your hands, it is your attitude to the blessings/riches that determines whether you are laying up riches in heaven or earth. Many so called Christians have money they cannot spend all their life time, so they put it in banks outside their countries and some bury it in the ground. This category of people have forgotten the counsel of the Lord as written in today’s scripture. How glorious it would have been if they sent the money to God’s own bank in heaven!

Wealth as we know it, is not intricately evil. It is our greed that is sinful and getting us into trouble. With greed, we store up treasure for ourselves and are not rich towards the things of God. As Christians, we must handle wealth according to the will and purpose of God. God has given a command that the rich in this present world must not be arrogant, nor put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. We should be rich in good deeds, be generous and willing to share. By doing this, we will lay up treasure for ourselves in heaven.

The Lord suggests that, “we can send our wealth ahead, that we can store it up in heaven, we can invest in eternity. We do not need to put our gold in a balloon and float it up. We can invest in our eternity by providing for the poor and the needy. This can include our children and family members, for charity begins at home. We should bountifully invest in the things of God. Though your wealth and riches cannot go with you to heaven but you can send it ahead by investing it in the things of God. Beloved, since you can’t take it with you (enroute heaven) then send it on ahead. God reciprocate by sending interest payments even now upon the generous.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Gaze upon Christ long enough, and you will become more of a giver. Give long enough, and you WILL become more like Christ.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Your giving will lay up treasures for you in heaven.
