IN TIME TO INVEST IN
THE END TIMES
(Luke
10:38-42 ) " 38 as they were traveling along, He entered a village where a woman
named Martha received him into her house. 39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His
word . 40
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and came and said, Lord , dost thou
not care that my sister has left me to serve alone ? Tell her to help me. 41
Jesus answered, 'Martha , Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many
things . 42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not
be taken away " . The
favor of God is necessary for our happiness : the salvation of Christ is
necessary for our security . Where
you attend this, everything else will take its rightful place . The
part of Marta would be cut off because their services would die with her, that
of Mary ever, spiritual and eternal. The
two disciples were sincere , but the one was absorbed in the highest way to
honor his Lord , and the other on the way down . Nothing
will separate us from the love of Christ and to share in that love. Men
and devils can not take it away , and God and Christ will not. Concerned
more earnest of the one thing necessary .
INTRODUCTION :What do you do in a typical day ?
Our
life on earth is very short , our days are numbered and decline with each
passing second . The
seconds, minutes , hours , days , months and years go by so fast that you might
not realize that we have lost valuable time in our life, we can never recover .
With
each passing day we reached less time to meet all our occupations and say If you
could add one more hour a day or one day a week? How do I best spend their
time?
THE BEST WAY
TO INVEST TIME IS IN THE KINGDOM OF GODI
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IN LIGHT OF THE WORD THE BEST WAY TO INVEST THE
TIME.
I. BE A SPIRITUAL BELIEVER .In
the world there are three types believers and each is evidenced by their
behavior :
1). NATURAL BELIEVERS ( 1Cor.2 : 14 ) .
"
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him , and he can not understand them because they are spiritually
discerned ." These
are people who believe in anything and who also believe in God, but they are not
saved because they are born again and have the Spirit of God.(James
1:22-26 ) " 22 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves . 23
For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing
his natural face mirror . 24
for he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he was.
25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed
in what he does. 26
If anyone among you thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but
deceives his heart, this man's religion is vain . "
2). CARNAL
BELIEVERS ( 1Cor.3 :1 -3 ) . "
1 And I , brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto
carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2
I gave you milk , not solid food , for you were not yet able , or are capable
yet , 3 For ye are yet carnal : for whereas there is among you envying , and
strife , are ye not carnal , and walk as men ? " . This
type of believers , believe in their own way and live for themselves , do not
give much importance to spiritual things and therefore do not mature
.(
Gal.5 :16 -21 ) " 16 I say then , Walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of
the flesh. 17
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit , and the Spirit against the flesh: and
these are contrary to one another , to not do what you want . 18 But
if ye be led of the Spirit , ye are not under the law. 19
are manifest works of the flesh are : adultery , fornication, uncleanness ,
lasciviousness , 20 Idolatry , witchcraft, hatred , variance, emulations ,
wrath, strife , seditions , heresies, 21 envy, murders , drunkenness ,
revelries, and things
like these, of which I forewarn you just as I did before, that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
"
3). SPIRITUAL BELIEVERS ( 1Cor.2
:15 -16 ) . "In
spiritual judgeth all things , yet he himself is judged of no man . 16 For who hath known the
mind of the Lord ? Who will instruct ?
But we have the
mind of Christ. " These
believers are they who strive to maintain an intimate communion with God through
the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible reading and faithful attendance at
church and living in the fruits of the Holy Spirit .(
Gal.5 :22 -25 ) " 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy , peace , patience
, kindness, goodness , faith, 23 Meekness , temperance: against such there is no
law. 24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and
desires. 25 If
we live by the Spirit , let us also walk by the Spirit " .
Build
your life on the spiritual values of the Word of God. Do
not be like a foolish man who built his house on sand , not to try and take the
time to get rock solid ( Mat.7 :24 -27 ) " 24 Therefore everyone who hears these
words of mine and does them will likened
unto a wise man who built his house on rock. 25
And the rain descended , and the floods came , and the winds blew and beat
against that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26
But everyone who hears these words and does them not, shall be likened unto a
foolish man , which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended ,
and the floods came , and the winds blew and beat against that house, and
fell, and great was its fall
. "
1). ROCK
REPRESENTS THE EVIDENCE , THE EFFORT AND DEEP GOD . These
are the believers who are not satisfied with a religion , but seek the Sound
Doctrine of Christ and obey , and base their life with principles and values
that the world offers , but cultivate the character of God . And
that does not fall with the difficult circumstances of life, because they are
strong as rock.2). REPRESENTS THE
LIFE EASY SAND AND THE COMMON WORLD. Many
believers are content to have a religion , because the Doctrine of Christ
repudiates sin and live for themselves . Adopt
the character of the world and this makes them brittle and weak unable to
withstand the challenges of life and fall because they have their strength in
God , but in themselves .
DO NOT FORGET THE LAW OF
SEEDING AND HARVEST .(
Galatians 6:7,8 ) says: " 7 Be not deceived , God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap . 8
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he who
sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. " Feed
your new spiritual life with the Word and prayer , create a daily devotional ,
get involved in church programs . It
deals with the desires of the flesh, those who are in the flesh can not please
God ( Romans 8 :5 -8 ) " 5 For those who are after the flesh do mind the things
of the flesh , but those who are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace . 7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law
of God , neither indeed can be 8 and those who are in the flesh can not please
God. "
ILLUSTRATION
: A master mason in years and was ready to retire . He
told his boss of his plans to leave the building business to live a more
leisurely life with his wife enjoying his family. He would
miss his weekly paycheck , but he needed to retire . Exceed them somehow this
stage . The
head was sorry to see his good employee left the company and asked him if he
could build just one more house as a personal favor.The
master mason agreed , but it looked easier than it was putting the heart into
her work . He
used inferior materials and work was poor. It was an
unfortunate way to end his career.When
the master mason finished his job and his boss came to inspect the house , the
head master mason handed him the keys to the front door . " This is
your house , " he said, " is present for you "What a tragedy ! What a shame! If
only the master mason would have known he was building his own house , he would
have done so entirely different.
So
in we are in recent times where Jesus Christ comes for His Church . No
build our lives so distracted , reacting when we should act , willing to put
into it less than the best . At
important points we do not put our best in our work. Then
with sorrow we see the situation we have created and find that we are living in
the house we have built. If we had
known earlier , we would have done differently . Think like the master builder
. Think of your home. Every
day you put a brick wall or edify lift a roof.
BUILT WITH WISDOM . It's the only life you can build
. Even
if you only live for a day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and
with dignity. Your
life now, is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your
life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices made TODAY
!(
Colossians 3:17,23 ) " 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God the Father through him . 23
And whatever you do, work at mind, as to the Lord , and
not unto men . "
WORK IN
THE KINGDOM OF GODTHE
HARVEST IS MUCH , AND THE WORKERS ARE FEW ( Mat.9 :36 -38 ) " 36 When he saw the
crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd . 37
He said to his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are
few . 38
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
"
The
threats to society in the XXI century . The
global economy, hunger , disease, family disintegration , terrorism , migration
, trafficking in persons , the environment, drug trafficking , international
crime, the arms trade and money laundering among others.The
high-crime , pornography , drug abuse and rebellion in our country is increasing
every day . Divorce,
child pornography, spousal abuse , and lack of human values , moral and
spiritual seed are infecting our society ( children ) . This
situation should move us to compassion and work.
DECISION YOU MAKE A
DIFFERENCEPeople are tired of
finding a solution. Religion,
without any teaching of Christ can be compared , drugs , debauchery , psychology
, witchcraft , politics , science and others have failed to do anything for them
, yet remain slaves.
1). THE TRUTH OF GOD IS THE
SOLUTION (John 8:32). "You will know the
truth , and the truth shall make you free" . The
truth is the Word of God, and is within reach of your hands. The truth
is the Sound Doctrine of Christ is in your heart .2).
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH .
BUT
( Romans 10:17 ) says: " So then faith cometh by hearing , and hearing by the
word of God." The
Word of God says : ( Rom.10 :13 -15 ) " 13 For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved . 14 How then
shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in
Him of whom they have not heard ? And how shall they hear
without a preacher? 15 How will they preach
unless they are sent ? As
it is written :How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim peace, who bring
good news ! " .3). NOT
ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:16-17 ) " 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes , to the Jew
first and also to the Greek. 17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is
written , The just shall live by faith . " People
are lost , wandering aimlessly like sheep without a shepherd . Jesus
said (John 14:6 ) " Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father , but by me." But
it depends on you and me , that these people are the way, the truth and the life
God offers . Since
Jesus did his part to come and die on the cross , ours is : Believe in Christ ,
follow him and talk to those who do not know .
GOD IS THE BEST EMPLOYER IN THE
WORLDHere
on earth the workers need unions , and human rights worker , to enforce their
rights and with all that many employers do not give them what they
deserve.
1). GOD DO NOT FORGET YOUR WORK . (
Hebrews 6:10) " For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love
which you have shown toward His name, in the saints , and do minister
."2). GOD WILL NOT LET YOU NO REWARD .
(
Colossians 3:23-24 ) " 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and
not for men , 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the
inheritance , for ye serve the Lord Christ ."3).
WORKING IN THE
LORD'S WORK IS NOT VAIN. (
1 Corinthians 15:58) "Therefore, my beloved brethren , be steadfast, immovable ,
abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in
vain." So
if you want to redeem the time , reverse working in the Lord's work , surely not
leave you unrewarded.
ATTEND CHURCH
MEETINGSAttend church
WHEN RECEIVE A TRIPLE BLESSING .
1). Worship God in corporate worship
. We
worship God and sing in our home and elsewhere , but there is a special blessing
when we do it together " because God inhabits the praises of His people " and
Jesus said ( Matthew 18:20 ) " For where two or
three are gathered in my name , there am I with them. " When
we worship Jesus Christ in the church are dedicated entirely to Jehovah
God.2). We
learn of Jehovah God , Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit through the preaching of
the Word . In
the congregation is where we learn from the Bible with more attention , where
God speaks to our lives through the pastor , is where we learn about important
issues .3). We share with our family in
the faith. God
has given us a spiritual family , and it's good to know who they are , where
they live , how they are. That we care for one
another.
When you
attend the Congregation HONOR GOD WITH YOUR GOODS(
Proverbs 3:9,10 ) "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all
your crops ; your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow
with new wine." This
teaches us that giving to God our goods is an act of worship. To
others in the congregation give offerings and tithe for three reasons
:1). IT IS AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE .
The
Bible says, " Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your
crops ... Bring all the tithes into the storehouse ... the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered " ( Q.3
: 10; Malq.3 : 10; 1Cor.16 :
3. ) . When
we please God , because he delights in obedience more than sacrifice
.2). WHY
IS IT FE . "
And thy barns be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine
... I'll open the window of heaven and pour out so much blessing that ...
Give, and it shall
be given ... " ( Q.3 : 10; Malq.3 : 11) .3).
IT IS AN ACT OF
APPRECIATION . The
Bible says: " Everything comes from you , and what you received from your hand
... God give waters and causeth the earth , giving seed to the sower and bread
to the eater ... God shall supply all your need according to make his riches in glory " (
1Cro.29 : 14 , Isa.55 : 10) .
God
gives us life , health , wisdom , work and everything you need to live.
We must
be thankful to God and give what He has given us.
CONGREGATION when you
attend OBEY GOD .The
Word of God says : ( Heb.10 : 25) " Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together , as the manner of some ... " . We
can not be solitary birds , God created us to live in community. You can
not be a football star without belonging to a team.
CONCLUSION :The
Word of God says : (Matthew 6:31-34 ) " 31 Do not be anxious , therefore,
saying, What shall we eat , or what shall we drink , or what to wear?
32
For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things . 33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness , and all these things shall be
added . 34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow , for tomorrow will worry about itself . "
Sufficient unto the day is
the evil . So
the best way to spend time is in the kingdom of God.
