Kingdom Investment

Manufacturers produce goods so as they serve specific purposes. Any time a manufactured product fails to accomplish the intended goal, this frustrates the manufacturer! Similarly, God created each one of us so as we fulfill a particular MISSION in life. Life should be more than simply growing up, getting a good education, securing a nice job, accumulating some wealth, getting married, raising children & grand-children, retiring and  dying comfortably, LOL!

In the book of Genesis 5: 1-20, we are given a genealogy from Adam to Noah. Interestingly, there is nothing MEMORABLE about all the people mentioned, except the outstanding case of Noah in verse 21! Genesis 5: 12-14 records:
"When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalel. And after he became the father of Mahalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons & daughters. Altogether, Kenan lived 910 years, and the he died ".

Nothing significant can be remembered of Kenan! What will you be remembered for?

Dorcas (Tabitha) left an INDELIBLE mark in people's lives. She was full of good works and charitable deeds (Acts 9: 36). When she died, everyone was overcome by great grief! Acts 9:39 recounts this.
"Then Peter arose & went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics & garments which Dorcas had MADE while she was with them".

Because Dorcas was in the Heavenly records of GOOD WORKS, God could NOT allow her to die! He had to use Apostle Peter to bring her back to life! Your good works will always present themselves before God  any time you're in danger or whatever form of distress & PLEAD for your safety, and God will always come to your rescue (Revelation 14: 13 & Psalm 41: 1-2). Let's examine the account of Cornelius in Acts 10: 1-2.
"There was a certain man in Caesaria called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man & one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always".

Due to the kind of man Cornelius was, God was always PROVOKED to bless him! Acts 10:4b recounts this so well. And an angel said to Cornelius,
"...your prayers & your alms have come up for a MEMORIAL before God".

What will we be remembered for? Do we have any good works that will follow us?

PRAYER:
"Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we not only want you to do something for us, but we want to do something for You. As children of DESTINY, we ask you to help us to leave a positive impact in peoples lives, to do something you will always remember us for. We declare that our destinies are SECURE, they will not be terminated prematurely in the name of Jesus! Give us the grace to TOUCH HEAVEN & CHANGE EARTH, our small "earth" which is the HEARTS of people. Our Kingdom investment shall NEVER be in vain. Amen!!!
