Encouragement!
Overcoming Financial Fear
Jesus teaches us how to live in uncertain financial times without stress or fear. Financial fear is: 1) unreasonable. We are not to become distracted from the substantial issues of life over less important issues like what we will eat or wear. 2) Unnatural. We are the only creation of God who worries. God provides for the birds He created, and we are more valuable then they are. When we worry we are outside of God’s natural design when we worry. 3) Unhelpful. Worry and fear do not produce anything worthwhile. 4) Unnecessary. God provides for His own and promises to take care of our needs. 5) Unbelieving. We are acting in unbelief as if God does not exist. We need to know that God knows our needs and he will provide to be encouraged and trust Him!
Num.3:5-13 & Prov.27:23-27
Getting your need Met.
When you plan a seed, God changes the nature of that seed so that it becomes a plant; and the power of life surges in that tender young plant to such a great extent that even a mountain of earth cannot stop it from pushing upward! Jesus says our faith in God is like a seed when we put our faith into action that is when we release it to God, it takes on a total new nature.
Keeping your Confession
Praise and true faith emanates from the lips of the redeemed that draws from the depths of the heart. As A living principle, faiths confession is not a ritual recitation of Slogans; otherwise, it is only acting out human traditions and as Jesus notes, is potentially hypocritical. Just as we are call to genuine praise and worship, not as pretenders or ritual performers, so let our confession of God’s promises be without hypocrisy. Let us speak what God’s Holy Spirit has truly birthed in our hearts, thereby bringing us to faithfully speak with our lips.
