THEME: IS GOD REAL? PROVE IT.
TOPIC:
THE LAWS OF MONEY
INTRODUCTION
The theme for the month has been
variously treated and we are convinced that our circumstances and environment
does not change the fact that God is God. The same yesterday, today and forever
not changed by our doubt and not changed by our belief.
God is the power that has been before
the foundation of the world. He created all things and without him was not
anything made. Whether they are visible or invisible, throne or dominion,
principalities and powers, he created them for his pleasure. He made pharaoh.
PERSONAL
PERSUASION
The reality of God has to come to each
person. My experience may not be yours and how he shows himself to you is not
how he appears to me.
My first day in Foursquare Gospel
church, 1st Avenue, Festac Town, I was assigned to a home fellowship
centre. At the centre, I was asked to make a request that will convince me that
the God in Foursquare is the only God that made heavens and the earth.
I said ‘I just left youth service and
got a job within 4 days with a salary of N500 per month but in less than 2
weeks I have gotten so dissatisfied with the job and started writing
applications again. I peep into the future and I see a life of change of jobs
or transfers from location to another is not the best for my dream of a family.
I wanted the God of Foursquare to provide me with a job of N1,000 per month and
I will not write application again. I will marry, buy my cars, build my house,
raise my children on that job’.
The request was sealed on the home
fellowship altar. The job came, N910.00 per month. I worked for 4 days and told
myself that the way these Foursquare people described their God, he cannot give
N910.00 to someone who asked for N1,000.00. I went to my employer and told him
I was leaving. ‘The only thing that could keep me on this salary is if you give
me a house and pay for it with your money.’
Any employer could have kicked a young
graduate out of his office at this request but not when the God who holds the
heart of the king is ahead of you. My employer offered me a house, a car and a
driver.
I was on the same job to marry, buy
cars, build houses including where I live in Magodo today.
Was there fraud in the office? My
employer celebrated me when I was leaving and gave me a brand new Toyota Camry
for faithful service.
IS GOD REAL? You can supply your
answers.
We will review the laws of money.
The topic of money is very
controversial in Foursquare. Many believe the coming of Jesus is too imminent
for us to be discussing how to make money. Others think it is carnal. No
opinion will take you to hell or heaven except you form the opinion that Jesus
did not come in human form, died on the cross and was raised again for the
salvation of all men.
Money is not so important to Christians
but it is very important because the opinion of a poor man is not reckoned even
in his household.
Anger of the poor is so easily
manifested and not easily pacified.
