Proverbs 11:30b "He that winneth souls is wise."
Who are you investing in? Apple, GE, General Motors, Intel? I'm sure you that have set up a 401k have seen some returns over the years. It was about 6 years ago I sat in Silverthorn Colorado with my brother n law discussing buying Apple at 65.00 a share. I said; "But what if it goes down to 40.00?"
I'm not against investing in good companies but there is a better investment that each of us can make. Do you have a neighbor, a co-worker, a son or daughter, a cousin that has still not received Christ as their Lord and Savior?
The greatest investment you will ever make on earth is to plant God's love and His trajectory plan of salvation into a person's life. There are a few things that each of us need in order to do that.
First is a Commitment to go into the harvest field. Farmers receive a crop each year because they go and plant into the fields. Have you made a commitment to plant God's love today into somebody's life?
Second we need Compassion.When Jesus saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion. Allow God's love to flow to those around you at work, next door, as you go about your day. God will give each of us opportunities to show the love of Christ.
Third we need Courage. Fear attempts to hinder each of us in opening our mouths and sharing about what Christ has done for us. Allow the Holy Spirit to empower you to speak up and tell others your powerful testimony of salvation.
Jesus sent out his disciples and He commissioned 72 others to change their world. As they obeyed His words they came back declaring great results and a return on their investment.
What are you investing in today? Yes I missed an opportunity to buy apple at 65.00 a share, my brother n law was much smarter and bought it. Today apple is around 600.00 a share. More important how many opportunities are you and I passing up to invest into people's lives. The most important thing in life is to plant God's seed and make an investment into someone's eternity? Plant and water into someone's life today that will forever change their eternity.
