  The Sowing and Reaping Principle Scripture: Galatians 6:8, NIV “ Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. ” (Galatians 6:8, NIV) The sowing and reaping principle is a key spiritual concept we need to incorporate in our lives. In the secular world we understand the more we invest in a good investment, the greater returns we can expect. The same is true in a spiritual sense. “ Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. ” (2 Corinthians 9:6, NIV) The returns for investing properly in the kingdom of God are going to be HUGE! It makes sense for us to be wise and invest as much as we can when we have the opportunity to do so. Once our time, talent, and treasure are invested or given, they cannot be taken away by anything or anyone. They are kept in heaven for us along with our salvation. “ And into an inh...

  Introduction Ezra 6:13–22: Following the completion of the Temple, it is dedicated and those who had returned from exile celebrate the event. The reading concludes with a description of the people celebrating Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Today’s Key Verse: Ezra 6:16 GNT The people of Israel—the priests, the Levites, and all the others who had returned from exile—joyfully dedicated the Temple. Read 13  Then Governor Tattenai, Shethar Bozenai, and their fellow officials did exactly as the emperor had commanded.  14  The Jewish leaders made good progress with the building of the Temple, encouraged by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. They completed the Temple as they had been commanded by the God of Israel and by Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, emperors of Persia.  15  They finished the Temple on the third day of the month Adar in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Darius.  16  Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levite...

  How to Score Points for Eternity Scripture: Luke 16:9, NIV “ I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. ” (Luke 16:9, NIV) We had better listen carefully to any words Jesus Christ uttered. They are just as applicable today as they were when he walked the earth. We have seen how he brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. He also brought to light the perishable and the imperishable. Everything we can see and touch is perishing: “ For this world in its present form is passing away. ” (1 Corinthians 7:31b, NIV) Paul said, “ And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. ” (1 Corinthians 9:25, NKJV) The KingdomNomics practitioner is incentivized by the imperishable values held dearly by almighty God. Jesus tells us to use worldly wealth to gain friends for eternity, so that when w...

  For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:4, ESV This Is the Victory You may be in a battle today, and things are coming against you in your health, your finances, or a relationship. You feel outnumbered. Thoughts will tell you, “It’s never going to change. You’ve been dealing with this for way too long.” It’s tempting to start complaining, living discouraged, talking about how you can’t overcome it. Don’t fall into that trap. Now more than ever you need to have a battle cry of faith. God is looking for people who speak faith in the midst of doubt, people who praise when they could be complaining, people who declare His favor in a famine. Don’t magnify the problems; magnify your God. Talk about His greatness. That’s how you’re going to reach your full potential. You have to go through the battles to become who you were created to be. Now, sound the battle cry of victory, of faith, of praise. ...

  The Spirit Factor Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9–11, NIV “ However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’—the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ” (1 Corinthians 2:9-11, NIV) If we hope to be effective in practicing the principles of KingdomNomics, we must experience a continuing and growing relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. This can only happen when the Spirit of God performs his functions within the heart of the believer. In the above passage, concentrate on the words “prepared,” “revealed,” “searches,” and “knows.” These are all functions performed by the Spirit of God for the people who love God. God has prepared things for those ...

  Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 3:15, NIV What Is He Saying? Sometimes we hear God speaking to us, but we put it off. We know we should forgive, or eat healthier, or deal with the addiction, but we tried in the past and failed. Are you putting something off, waiting to be more disciplined, waiting to treat your family better, waiting to get out of your comfort zone? There’s power in being prompt to obey. The longer you wait to do what God’s asking you to do, the more difficult it’s going to be. There’s a window of grace opening to you where you’ll have the strength and the favor to do what He’s telling you to do. He’s not holding against you the fact that you haven’t done it, but this is the time to make things right. This is the time to act on it. God didn’t just give you the desire; He gave you the power to obey. This is a destiny moment. If you will make that move, God will step in and help you do what you couldn’t do. Don’t talk yourself out ...
