INVESTING IN GODS KINGDOM

Now is the time! Now is the hour and day! The Lord is waiting on you!

1. TIME
Ephesians 5:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV) 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

2. ENERGY/EFFORT
2 Peter 1:5-11 New International Version (NIV) 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

3. WEALTH
1 Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

4. RESOURCES
James 2:14-26 New International Version (NIV) 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, Go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

5. SKILLS/TALENT
Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive and inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 1 Corinthians 14:12 Since we are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.

CONCLUSION
By helping in Gods work, you are helping yourselves. By doing good for others, you are doing good to yourselves. By helping in Gods kingdom, you are piling up treasures in heaven which can not rot or corrode or be stolen. Best of all, you will reap the blessings of your investment while you are on earth.
