MY FRIENDS, HOW FAR WILL YOUR SPIRITUAL PORTFOLIO TAKE YOU?

MY FRIENDS, HOW FAR WILL YOUR SPIRITUAL PORTFOLIO TAKE YOU?

The mental faculty by which we  deliberately choose or decides upon a Plan for our life is usually placed into what the world calls a financial portfolio, which are the total holdings of our most valuable assets and securities that we have accumulated; 401k, stocks, bonds. money market, real state, etc. So my friends what about our spiritual holdings and securities as it relates to our salvation?

What are our most valuable assets spiritually, or do we have any? Or have we become bankrupt spiritually do to the fact we have allowed this world to dictate to us how we will spend eternity? God has created a glorious universe, images from the Hubble telescope reveal awesome galaxies and planets that goes beyond what man can see without it.

Have you sometimes gone out at night and envisioned, where does it all end? Oh the astronomical phenomena that limits our imagination by time and space, yet we all have a desire to understand what is out there.

Even as a child of God, we cannot begin to explain, what is beyond what man can see with his eyes. But what we do know is that God has planned for the redeemed a place “eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 (NASB)

But the question we must ask ourselves, do we have the faith to include the promises of God into our Spiritual Portfolio? Each of us as candidates for God’s pure and holy kingdom need to remember, God will not force us to Choose His Spiritual advice of How we will spend Eternity over Satan’s advice that leads to perdition.

Remember Satan has a legal claim to our mind and body because of the choices we have made that allows him to be our master. John 1:12 (KJV) tells us “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” So if I understand that text correctly my faith in a Crucified Savior gives me the right to be a Child of God. and spend eternity in His pure and holy kingdom.

Oh what love, that He would give such a right to a wretched sinner like you and I, and then through our faith, if we do allow Christ and His Spirit to take total control of all matters relating to our Salvation, then it will be our responsibility to “go into all the world” and inform others of the good news of Christ soon return.

My friends as we follow the word of God we should understand that Satan’s motives are only to keep us blinded with what this world, which is bound for perdition deems is right and acceptable. 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells us “whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe…” “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

What a Portfolio for His Children. walk in the Spirit, submit to God and “take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” As I read the Word of God I can see that if we just follow a step by step course of action that our Savior has laid out for us, Salvation and life eternal will be ours.

And When Christ enters those clouds for a second time, with no reservation we can be assured, He will say to the faithful who has endured and allowed their portfolio to be washed in the saving blood of Christ “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
