Shalom,
Happy New Year!
I welcome you once again
to 2018 with the Joy of Jesus Christ. It’s a new 52 weeks of promises and hopes
in God. As usual, we know many are in the business of making New Year
resolutions, therefore, we always like to give you some useful tips for the
year through the grace of God. This time, we shall look and some secrets
deposited by Jesus Christ in these eight tips
Luke 12: 1. Meanwhile, the crowds grew until thousands were milling about
and stepping on each other. Jesus turned first to his disciples and warned
them, “Beware of the yeast of the
Pharisees—their hypocrisy. 2 The
time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all
that is secret will be made known to all. 3 Whatever
you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have
whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to
hear!
Beloved, let us treat
hypocrisy like a plaque this year and let us choose to be known for God. Choose
to firmly stand for God, His truth and His righteousness and see what God will
do with our lives. Shun all form of double personality with God that could
hinder his move in your life.
Luke 12:4 “Dear
friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do
any more to you after that. 5 But
I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then
throw you into hell.[a]Yes, he’s
the one to fear.
God is the only one that has power over life and death; then fear God
not man.
Luke 12: 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by
how much you own.
If you still take pride in the abundance of your wealth, what a shame!
If you only focus in acquiring wealth as a mark of social status even at the
detriment of your soul, what a waste! In 2018, let your wealth be in how much
you serve God and man with your resources.
Luke 12:20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night.
Then who will get everything you worked for?’21 “Yes,
a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship
with God.”
Riches
are good, but only when it’s toward God. Be a giver this year; give to the
poor, the needy, the underprivileged and God’s kingdom works. None of the
wealth shall follow you out of this earth and who knows what will become of
them afterwards? More importantly, know God richely.
Luke 12:31 Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
Well,
you have been hearing this all your life. If you have been putting the cart
before the horse, how much has it worked? Re-prioritize this year.
Luke 12:33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in
need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven
never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal
it and no moth can destroy it
As a Christian, there is
no better place to invest than in God’s kingdom.
Luke 12:40 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will
come when least expected.”
Well, again and again, Jesus is coming back soon-don’t get carried away
Luke 12:48 But
someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only
lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and
when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.
Whatsoever God has given you-wealth, talent, wisdom, or even the gospel
that brought you salvation, it’s not for you alone but for you to bless others
with. God will demand account.
Have a God-filled and good year
