Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations" for today is EXCELLENT!
THE GOOD LIFE WITHOUT THE SWEAT
Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of
the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Most people are of the opinion
that the good life does not happen without hard work and buckets of sweat. They
believe that to achieve success, you first need to have this educational
certificate, that professional qualification, this particular job and that many
years of hard work. I have good news for you: God has a better way.
We all must work, but the world
wants you to believe that there is a natural process of sowing, reaping and
gathering, accompanied by waiting, toiling and stress, before the good life
actually comes. But God says, “My people do not need to go through this natural
process to enjoy the good life for they are not of this world’s system. They
can operate out of My economy and I can give them the good life straightaway!”
In the same way that God feeds
the birds which do not go through the sow-then-reap-then-gather system of the
world, He wants to and will do much more for you!
Your heavenly Father wants you to
know the generosity of His heart toward you and how much He wants to make you successful.
A case in point is what happened to a church member who believed this truth.
After leaving his previous job, he trusted God to provide him with a better
one. Within just four months, he found himself heading two companies.
His newly formed distribution
company not only clinched a major project in Singapore, but was also made the
principal distributor in Southeast Asia for a popular line of products from the
United States. His second company, which provided consultancy services, was
given two projects by a Korean and a Hong Kong company for a six-figure
consultancy fee in US dollars.
Today, God wants you to know that
you are not of the world’s system. You are of the kingdom of God—the same
kingdom that feeds the birds that do not toil, but simply trust their Creator
for all their provisions in life. Be convinced that you are of more value to
your heavenly Father than the birds, and let Him give you the good life without
the toiling and laboring of the world.
AMEN! 2 Corinthians 5:20 tells us that we are Christ's Ambassadors! Ambassadors are completely supported by the HOME COUNTRY! OUR Source of ALL supply is our Father in Heaven! Let's keep our eyes on the ultimate prize of KNOWING Him and His ways, so that we can walk in them. Here are Hillsong Kids with "My Best Friend":
Shalom in Him!
