WHAT'S GAIN 1



WHAT’S GAIN 1
A gain is suitable, profitable and of great benefit. Ellen G. White says “if you lose heaven, you lose everything; if you gain heaven, you gain everything”. Something’s are worth gaining, some are worth losing. The world is not worth gaining, but heaven is worth gaining. Matthew 16 vs. 25: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Vs. 26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? JESUS told his disciples denying themselves, taking up their cross and following HIM is great gain. When a man denies himself of worldly things, bringing his flesh under subjection and doing the will of the Father GOD, it is gainful and profitable. Gaining the whole world is not profitable, it is a great loss. Not denying yourself of worldly things is not profitable, it is a great loss. A man can miss and lost everything, but missing heaven is the greatest loss. A quote goes thus; sometimes the best gain is to lose. It is a great gain, when a man loses things that will destroy his life. It is a great gain, when a man does the will of GOD. It is a great gain, when a man lives a sin free life. It is a great gain, when a man lives a righteous life. It is a great gain, when a man disassociates himself from worldly friends. The bible said evil communication, corrupt good manners. It is a great gain, when a man set affection on things above and not below. It is a great gain, when a man delights in the law of GOD. It is a great gain, when a man tells other about CHRIST. It is a great gain, when a man studies the word of GOD and does what is written therein. It is a great gain, when a man sees CHRIST in glory. It is a great gain, when a man inherits the kingdom of GOD. Matthew 16 vs. 27: For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father with his angels and then, he shall reward every man according to his works. It is a great gain, when a man finds wisdom and understanding from above. Proverb 3 vs. 13-14: Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver band the gain thereof than fine gold.
                       Gehazi was greedy of gain, he lost everything. He should have gotten a triple portion of anointing from Elisha, but he lost that because he wasn’t conscious of what to gain. We must be mindful of what we gain. Not all things are worth gaining; most things are worth losing. Proverb 15 vs. 27: He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. We have unjust gains and just gains. The unjust gains is worth losing, but the just gain is worth gaining. It continues tomorrow….It is well with us.

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...
