Trust in the Lord with All Thine Heart

Being in a relationship is very fragile. It can be broken anytime ever after years of passion, being together and working together. You never know what is next that will prompt the split. It is so precarious. But thank goodness, we can trust in the Lord who is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. Luckily, the Lord is not changeable like the weather. He stands on solid ground and His love for us will never diminish unlike human love. We can be rest assured of reuniting with Jesus in Heaven for all those who are Christians. We can dream of living in mansions in heaven built especially for us. That's how deep and far the love our Heavenly Father has of us.

Jesus became a ransom for us

Jesus was the sacrificial lamb and became a ransom for us at Calvary. He died in our place and took all our sickness and curses upon himself while He gave us his health and blessings for us to enjoy. This is a covenant exchange in our place. Since we broke every law in the 10 Commandments, we were cursed. However, the son of Man and God took away all our sins, sickness and curses at the cross. Which other God will be the ultimate sacrifice for you? None. Except the true Son of God, Jesus.

Tithing brings you true wealth

We need to tithe to our local church so that there is food amongst God's people and for mission work. The church needs money to function properly and for evangelism to be effective. When you send missionaries overseas, they need money to travel, for accommodation and to bring God's word to the innermost parts of the world.

God has mandated tithing as a way to prosper us tremendously. When you make the first 10% holy by tithing, the rest of the 90% of your money also becomes holy and cannot be devoured by the devourer. Your finances are kept safe from paying hospital bills, car breaks down, accidents, doctor's fees, etc. The only way to be prosperous is to tithe the 10% to church because when the first fruits are holy, the lump sum will also be made holy.

Delight Yourself in the Lord

Psalm 37:4 of NIV reads as "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart". The Lord has been kind to me. Working from home is my dream job since a long time ago when I used to work outside in the secular world. It was not easy for me as I had to endure the office politics and dressing up to work.

At the moment, I work in my pajamas. And if there are not too much to do for the day, I take the opportunity to do paid article writing for extra income. And the money comes in nicely through my Paypal at the end of the week. I also make it a point to attend church service every Sunday if possible. Praise be to God.
