True Riches {Luke 18:18-23}

By
We have many rich people around us, who we respect, honour, and even idolise but they are not truly rich. 

True riches is not measured by the abundance of things(landed property, high valued assets etc) a person owns. It is not how many influential positions a person has occupied but its simply in the test of ownership.

How many of what you have do you really own? To "own" here simply means "to keep" many we call rich don't have a guarantee of still having those things they have today, tomorrow. This is the simple reason why, they feel to secure tomorrow they have to continue endlessly in that position and never loss power.

Jesus proofed his total ownership of his life when he said, "I will lay down my life and in three days I will pick it up" Mr Rich man, can you give out all what you've got and you're, and still pick them up?

Whatsoever you can let go with assurance that you can get it back, is actually the measure of your worth in life
Some persons are dressed expensive but worth just #10 as you see them stand, argue and are even ready to fight the bus conductor for just #10 change. Some persons drive around with expensive cars but are worth #100 because that is what they can easily, confidently let go into the church offering box

Who should be termed rich among us?  Those who remember the poor, those who can give out themselves to salvage bad situations in the country, those who will not be so keen how continually they can milk Nigeria/Nigerians but rather think how much they can do for Nigeria. This is true riches, how rich are you?

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
