EXPENDING YOUR RESOURCES

in #christain-trail7 years ago (edited)

Ecc. 3:14: I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it. and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Besides choosing whom to serve, your spiritual partner, your spouse and where you will spend eternity, you will also need to make decisions on other issues that may not be as fundamental as the previous but are also very important. God has given everyone of us certain resources -time, talent, money, etc. And God is interested in knowing how you will utilize each of these resources He has made available to you. How do spend your time? Everyday, God gives you 24 hours which could be utilized to accomplish certain things. How do you spend your day? God, Satan, and secular affairs compete for your time on daily basis.

What percentage do you give to God? Increasingly , legitimate work is taking more and more of our time. Some people either close very late or end up sleeping in their offices. But at the end, what do they get from such sacrifices? Some lose their health, some their homes, others lose their relationship with God, while some lose their Joy. How much of your time do you give back to God? It is so difficult for some people to stay in God's presence for a three or four hour service. Yet they spend close to 12 hours for work or business. Do you think God is not seeing you? Do you think God does not have expectations on what He wants you to do for His glory on daily basis?

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says there is time for everything under Heaven. How much time do you devote to things that would not matter after you die? How much time do you give to things that are expedient? How much time do you spend on television programmes and home videos daily? What time do apportion to prayer, bible study, fasting, and seeking God's face? God wants to know. Also, God wants to know how you use the talents and abilities He has given you. Some people are using music or dancing skills to entertain the world and glorify Satan and they still claim to be children of God. Any talent that cannot be used to regularly glorify God is useless to God. How are you using yours?

Lastly, God wants to know how you spend the money He puts into your hands. What percentage of it goes back to Him? Do you give any part of that money to the devil - for instance, to your unbelieving parents to sponsor fetish festivals in your village? Do you owe Him? How do you score yourself on these? Ask for God's help.

If you liaise with God on what He has made available to you, He will tell you how to use them.
