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.

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...

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 ...

REMEMBERING WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN.

REMEMBERING WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN Many a time something keeps reminding us of our past guilt. The devil is the accuser of brethren, he is responsible for this. Revelation 12 vs. 10-11: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD and the power of His CHRIST; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our GOD day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to death. The devil is responsible for you remembering what GOD has forgotten. You have to tell the devil you overcome him by the blood of the lamb and by your word of testimony. Micah 7 vs. 8: Rejoice not against me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise, when I sit in darkness; the LORD shall be a light unto me. The devil will always want to rejoice against you, he will always want your downfall; he will always want you in darkness and not light. Sin and tra...
