Miracle Valley Sermon 25th Sept. 2022.
First Bible reading Daniel 12:3- end.
Song from SS&S 757 Sowing in the morning , sowing seeds of kindness.
The best of investments is soul winning.
NOTE THIS TODAY:
You can make all the money in business. make great names, build houses and buy air crafts, have a chain of the best degrees and have the best of men or women, they matter very little after life. When you die all the glory is buried for ever.
WHAT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT.
The best investment is the investment in humanity, translated “endbeautifully” into eternal.life. You may wonder this grammar. It is real no questions please.
What should we do then?
Teach virtues, teach character, teach holiness and live with or by them. You may be cajoled,
it does not matter, even if you have nothing.
The Bible tells us that he that wins a soul is wise.
Proverbs 11:30.
11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (Proverbs 11:30)
Fruit is what a tree bears and like an allegory the fruit which a righteous man bears is a tree of life.
What we teach or do is the fruit we bear.. It is an investment in the life of people which have the power of transformation of life.
What we teach, can win souls for the kingdom of God.
In today’s sermon the best investment is soul winning.
In that respect I say to us that “we should teach virtues, teach character and holiness for these are the fruits of life.
Some teach vices, cultism and several negative character, these are forbidden trees and are the tree of eternal condemnation.
Some who teach evil feel they are making progress to convert people to be ontowatd generation who.will be headed for hell..
Let us win souls through virtue, character and holiness for.such will enter the kingdom of God. A man that wins a soul.is wise.
And Jesus said :
6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)
He further said :
6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (Matthew 6:19-20).
People who teach vices are doing so to build people around them who are materialistic and who.value this life far above the life to come.
If you build evil people you will also be given evil by others for that is the law.
God wants us to invest in heavenly things where thieves do.not break in and steal. Your positive investment in the life of men will not be taken away from.you. This is the best of investments, because from. here on earth, you will build kingdom based people and tnis is the greatest treasure you can present to God on the last day.
James the Apostle of Jesus wrote:
5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. (James 5:20).
God will help you also for converting the evil man to be a good man. Preach the Gospel by life examples.
From the book.of Daniel we have this encouragement:
12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel.12:3.)
The wisdom spoken.of here is not the wisdom of politicians. but the wisdom.of those who are wise to convert the unrighteous.
LET US TAKE THE STAND OF PAUL
9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. (1 Corinthians 9:19).
Let us humble ourselves to teach virtue , character and holiness that we might win souls for the Kingdom.of God.
What you teach is what you give out and it requires your time , your money and your life to do this..
Prayer:
May God help us to make the best of investment, while we live, for it is what ends up in giving us eternal life. Help do this with holiness unto Thee O! Lord.
