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.

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
