Being a Christian go beyond going to Church and carrying a Bible. How much do you offer daily in making sure that the body of Christ is strengthened and encouraged ? We care so much about our immediate families and businesses or investments but do we really do the same for the body of Christ?
Does it matter to you how that jobless brother or sister manages to survive in this hard times ?
How much have you contributed to ensuring someone does not backslide or give up the faith due to temptations,trials and hardship. Remember,your wealth and positions were not given to you for personal interest otherwise you would be sowing in where moth and worms would eat.
THE GREATEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN EVER MAKE.
The greatest investment you can make as a Christian is to invest in the body of Christ. Mind you; I DID NOT SAY CHURCH BUILDINGS BUT BODY OF CHRIST.
You must raise your kind in every field of your endeavor. Hence you need to dedicate your time,finances and prayers in ensuring you raise a good Soldier or Soldiers in the body of Christ who will take up the good fight of faith now or after you are gone. Failure to do that may lead some to stray away and you will be asked of the Lord what you did with the resources and positions you were trusted with.
INVESTING IN BUILDINGS ARE GOOD BUT INVESTING IN HUMANS ARE MUCH MORE BETTER.
The buildings and several other things you invest in today will soon fade away and will be of no value when Christ shall come but the Souls you invest in today would always remain assets of inestimable value even in God's kingdom. Mind you they are factors to your crowns and mansions in heaven as well. Having modern buildings and equipments are good but not at the expense of those who should man or benefit from them. It's better to have fire brand Christians with economic stability who are ready to manifest the power of God anywhere and anytime than gathering powerless people who are the mercies of their unbelieving neighbors in gigantic mansions for Church services.
In my next article,I shall be writing on how to HOW TO ATTAIN FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC STABILITY OF THE CHURCH.
