VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE

 Revelation 3:11 NIV Says: "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown."


Jesus gave this message to warn believers to stay strong, faithful, and careful. The “crown” represents reward, honor, and position given by God. To hold on means to guard, protect, and value what God has given you until He comes. It means being faithful in your gifts, your calling, your work, and your opportunities. When you value what you have, you show God that you can be trusted with more.

The way you treat the small things God gave you now determines how far you will go in life. This principle applies in every area of your life, spiritually, economically, and socially. Many people are waiting for big blessings, but they ignore the small things already in their hands. What you call “small” is the seed for your future harvest. When you respect, protect, and improve what you have, you open doors for greater blessings.

Valuing what God has entrusted to you is a discipline that grows over time. You must train yourself to appreciate and honor small beginnings. Jesus gave a parable in Matthew 25:14–30 about a rich man who gave money to his servants. Two of them valued the small amount and worked hard; they were rewarded with more. But the one who despised his small share lost even what he had. God’s system of increase always begins with faithfulness in little things.

Don’t be seduced by anything or anyone to despise or abandon what you have. Value your work, your family, your ministry, or your business. Work on it with love and excellence. It is like a staircase God uses to lift you higher. What you have today is the seed for what you will have tomorrow. If you honor it, God will multiply it.

Prayer: Lord, teach me to value what You have given me and bless the work of my hands. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
