>>LUKE 16:9 > 15
>>VERSE
9 - "I tell you, use worldly wealth & systems ... that when they are gone ... they will have caused you into the eternal dwellings."
GOD’s CALLED-OUT should make full use of worldly wealth
GOD’s CALLED-OUT should make full use of worldly wealth
TO GAIN FRIENDS for
THE LORD JESUS
THE LORD JESUS
- so that when that worldly wealth
- under our stewardship should run out
--- AFTER HAVING WON
FRIENDS for THE LORD
FRIENDS for THE LORD
- BY OUR DISBURSING THEM
(having given or
disbursed them)
for the glory of GOD
disbursed them)
for the glory of GOD
- (>>2nd Corinthians 8:9) - "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus The Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor so that you through His poverty might become rich."
then there will have been equitable
distribution of GOD’s wealth
distribution of GOD’s wealth
- --- (>>2nd Corinthians 8:13 > 15) - "Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equitability. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need so that in turn their plenty will supply what they need. Then there will be equitability. As it is written, "he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little or few did not have too little or few."
- and also the joy of giving
that we have participated
in such privilege
of sharing
in such privilege
of sharing
- according to GOD’s intents
- --->>2nd Corinthians 8:4, "they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this participation to assist the saints."
THEN:
I. GOD
will give us all the graces so that
A. IN ALL THINGS
B. AT ALL TIMES
we will have
the necessary abundance
the necessary abundance
for OUR EVERY GOOD DEED.
(>>2nd Corinthians 9:8 - "And GOD is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have abundance for every good deed."
II. GOD will not only supply us
- that which we have to give
HE will also give us
THE STRENGTH and ALL
THE STRENGTH and ALL
- including ENCOURAGEMENT
- that is required of giving
- according to HIS will
- (dili para sa atong pasikat)!
- Above all those that HE requires....
HE supplies bonus-EXTRA
pa gyud to us!
pa gyud to us!
(>>2nd Corinthians 9:10) - "Now, He supplies seed to the sower and bread for food ... will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness...."
III. Severally kun tinagsa-tagsa, we will be made
rich
- in every way
- so that when they who are in need are helped
- as when our individual generosity reaches the recipients
- (GOD's people)
---- that giving ought to result
in many thanksgivings
to GOD rather
than just to the giver
to GOD rather
than just to the giver
(>>2nd Corinthians 9:11 > 15) - "You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through your generosity ... will result in thanksgiving to GOD.
"Because by this assistance ... you not only have supplied the needs of GOD's people, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto GOD."
Because of the assistance by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise GOD for the obedience that accompanies your confession of The Gospel of THE CHRIST and for your generosity in sharing with them and
with every one else.
And their prayers for you ... their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace GOD has given to you.
Thanks be to GOD for HIS indescribable gift!"
IV. This then results in much of
loving GOD
- and LOVING (being patient, good and kind) to one another
- resulting to intercessory prayers
- among all of GOD’s people
>>2nd Corinthians 9:14 > 15
The way of SPENDING here
will then be actually
in the real score
in the real score
INVESTING NOW(!)
- so that when we die and have absolutely no more need for worldly wealth anymore
we are welcomed
in our eternal home.
in our eternal home.
- Death is the airplane no one with luggage is allowed to board!
>>VERSE
10 - "Now HE WHO supplies seed to the sower and bread for food ... will supply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness...."
- whoever is faithful and can be trusted in the use of worldly things
- can be trusted in far more important things (SPIRITUAL!).
- He who is dishonest in THE USE of worldly things FOR THE LORD
- cannot be expected to be honest in far more important things.
>>VERSE 11 - "You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through your generosity ... will result in thanksgiving to GOD." >>> very self -explanatory
>>VERSE 12 - "Because by this assistance ... you not only have supplied the needs of GOD's people, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto GOD."
If you have not been trustworthy
If you have not been trustworthy
- with that worldly wealth GOD HAS REALLY INTENDED FOR HIS PURPOSE
- AS GIVEN TO YOU INTENDED FOR OTHERS
- --- according to the above scriptures ALL from
- >>>2ndCorinthians
- who will give you WHAT OUGHT TO BE YOURS ???
- GOD won’t!
>>VERSE
13 - "Because of this assistance by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise GOD for the obedience that accompanies your confession of The Gospel of THE CHRIST and for your generosity in sharing with them and with every one else.
We cannot be covetous
We cannot be covetous
- (loving of money
- as to hold on to it even if GOD meant it for
- our giving to some people
- OR giving all out without concern but para masikat ka!)
at the same time LOVE GOD!!!
>>VERSES 14 > 15 --- And their prayers for you ... their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace GOD has given to you. Thanks be to GOD for HIS indescribable gift!" >>> very self –explanatory
ALL THESE SCRIPTURES .... NEEDS .... our individual realizations .... i prayed .... FOR .... every one of us .... during these days we are just spending ... making a living .... to give way .... to THE LIFE .... THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST wants TO BLESS US with .... even NOW(!) !!!
