UNDERSTAND THE GOD'S RIGHT MANAGEMENT AND OUR ROLE.

Today we begin our journey to explore the profound concept of management, a concept deeply rooted in faith and central to our Christian walk. Management is not just a financial term; it is a spiritual principle that guides how we see and deal with everything God has entrusted to us. As we delve into this topic, let's open our hearts to God's Word and discover the blessings that come from adjusting our lives to His possessions.
May God bless you as you read in the name of Jesus... Biblical basis for management:


Genesis 1:
26-28; Psalm 24:
1 In the early chapters of the Bible, we find the basic principles of management. In Genesis 1:
Verses 26-28, we read how God created mankind in His image and gave us dominion over the earth. However, this dominance does not mean ownership as the world understands. It means responsibility and care. It is an invitation to cooperate with God in the stewardship of his creation for his glory. Psalm 24:
1 reinforces this fact:
"The earth belongs to God, as does everything in it, the world and all those who live in it." This verse lays the foundation for the understanding that every possession, every talent, every breath we take in ultimately belongs to God. We are simple stewards of his gifts.

CLEARING OWNERSHIP:

Everything belongs to God Think of your most precious possession, whatever it is. Now remember that God is the ultimate owner of this property. It's a lesson in humility shifting our perspective from ownership to management. When we grasp this truth, it becomes easier for us to let go of our grasp of material possessions and realize that our role is to use what God has given us for His purposes.

OUTSIDE FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP:
Managing our time, talents and resources is not limited to our bank accounts; it extends to every aspect of our lives. Our time, talents, and resources are all gifts from God, entrusted to us for a specific purpose. Our time is a precious resource that we can invest in building relationships, serving others, and seeking God's presence. Our talents, whether skills, creativity, or intellect, must be used to develop the Kingdom of God. Even our resources, such as homes, possessions, and influence, are tools for bringing glory to God.

PROS AND CONS OF SUPPORTING THE WIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT

ADVANTAGES 
Now consider the pros and cons of supporting the gospel with our own finances. As we support the gospel work, we actively participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:
19-20). We have the privilege of partnering with the Lord to reach the lost, transform lives, and disciple all nations. Our gift becomes an investment in eternity, accumulating treasures in heaven (Matt 6:20). 
DISADVANTAGES 
On the other hand, when we neglect our responsibility to support the spread of the gospel, we lose sight of the joy of participating in the Lord's redemptive work. We run the risk of becoming too attached to worldly possessions, which hinders our spiritual growth. Furthermore, we deprive ourselves of the blessings that come from obedience and sacrifice (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

Finally, if you know that you are not yet a good steward of the resources God has blessed you with, and it hurts you to have a deeper understanding of the role of management, even financially , time, talent or resources, I invite you to come forward. Let's pray together, seeking God's guidance in this area of ​​our lives.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father, as we stand before You today, we acknowledge that all we have is Yours. You are the owner of our lives, our possessions, and our talents. Help us embrace the role of stewards with open hearts. May we joyfully and faithfully use what You've given us to advance Your Kingdom and bring You glory in Jesus' name. 
Lord, forgive us for the times we've held back, for the times we've failed to support the spread of the gospel with our finances. We surrender our financial resources to You, asking that You guide us in using them wisely for Your purposes in Jesus' name. 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the privilege of stewardship. May our lives be a reflection of Your ownership and our willingness to invest in Your Kingdom. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

HE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN SECRETS

  "Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?" Isaiah 29:15 (KJV) Many people live as though God does not see. But this verse is a warning to all who try to hide their sin and act holy before men. God is not blind. He knows everything, He is all powerful, and He is everywhere. You cannot escape His eyes. What you do in the dark, God sees it as clearly as daylight. Nobody wants to be seen as evil or wicked. No one wants public shame. But unfortunately, there is too much hypocrisy in the church today. People commit abominations in secret but present themselves as holy, kind, and loving on the outside. They even go as far as judging others for small mistakes while hiding great wickedness in their own lives. God says: "Woe unto you." If you think He does not see your pride, your lust, your lies, your cheating, your secret sin, wake up. Stop pretending. Do not play hol...

YOUR SEASON OF INCREASE

 TOPIC: YOUR SEASON OF INCREASE "So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him." 1 Chronicles 11:9 (KJV) This verse begins with the word "So," which is a discourse marker indicating a consequence or result of previous events. This means David's greatness and increase were not random. They were outcomes of earlier chapters in his life. David's journey to greatness did not start with a crown. He was a shepherd boy, tending his father's sheep in obscurity. Even after being anointed king by the prophet Samuel, he returned to the pasture. He then faced Goliath and won, but instead of being rewarded with peace, he was invited into Saul's palace where he became a target of jealousy and attempted murder. For about thirteen years, David lived as a fugitive, hiding in caves and wilderness, carrying the weight of a royal promise while being hunted like a criminal. Despite rejection, betrayal, and hardship, David remained faithful to God...

Today, we shall explore the profound topic of sacrificial giving—a practice that goes beyond mere financial transactions and taps into the very heart of our faith. In this sermon, we will delve into the ultimate example of sacrificial giving found in John 3:16, examine the inspiring story of the widow's offering in Mark 12:41-44, and discuss how embracing sacrificial giving reflects our devotion to Christ and our commitment to prioritizing His Kingdom above all else. I PRAY GOD WILL GIVE US A HEART OF UNDERSTANDING IN JESUS NAME. Reflecting on Christ's Ultimate Sacrifice: John 3:16 At the center of our faith stands the cross—a symbol of the ultimate act of sacrificial giving. John 3:16 captures the essence of this sacrifice: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The heart of the Gospel lies in God's willingness to give His Son for our redemption. Christ's...
