20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Good morning and shalom
Isn't interesting how Yeshua was able to capture the essence of faith in this passage .
Yeshua was revealing the things of God and of man as it states in the Torah ( the books of instruction)
Deuteronomy 29:29Amplified Bible (AMP)
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed and disclosed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may do all of the words of this law.
Although in the picture of this scripture we see money . However, what is being revealed is faith by way of use of money and time .
Money will come and it will go however how do YOU spend your money ? Are they on the necessary things in life or do they reflect your heart ?
Alcohol, drugs and pornography ? Remember all of these things in different forms are still the same .
How do you spend your money with the time you have ?
Time is a measurement that comes directly from God . We have only a set amount of it here on earth . We don't know exactly how much, however, all of us think its about 100 years or so , give some or take some ....
Either way, time is a direct God given gift . How are you spending it ? Are you wasting time on the empty things in life that does not bring you the things of God and in heaven ?
Its so interesting that the bible clearly marks out faith in measurement . Time and money are tools of that measurement . God never leaves us without proper scripture to study to measure ourselves within Him .
Do you spend your time and money at clubs, bars , and parties on alcohol, cigarettes , drugs?
Today's society has been taught do find the quickest measure to fix whatever it is that causing a problem but not taught , shown or the knowlegde of leaning and waiting on God.
To lean and wait on God is just that to stop what you are doing and to lean and wait. To stop the drugs, pornography and the alcohol and to lean and wait . To stop going to bars ,clubs and parties and to lean and wait.
It also could be food, video games, TV , movies , Facebook, social media, that is absorbing all your time and money and casuing the strife in your life. Again , whatever is that white elephant in the room causing your issues, God is waiting on you to surrender those things and lean and wait on Him.
To pray and read your bible. when you lean and wait , read your bible and pray, you will find those empty things will pass and God will open new doors that are of from HIM.
How long do you lean and wait?
You lean and wait on God as long as it takes! Until those things that are empty and not of God are not within you any longer. Thats How long.
Just because the world says certain things are ok , your choices and your measure are different from the next person. Each of us will have to give an acounting to God . He will want to know what did you do with the measure He gave you.
Today is new . Tomorrow is past . Every new day is a gift that's why its a present . Don't worry about the things of tomorrow Because today has enough trouble for itself .
Make your day a fulfillment of God today to the most you can . Appreciate the things , people and opportunities you have . Don't waste it . Give back to God what he has given you and he will give you the increase and the responsibility !
Desire to Aspire to Inspire! ( Taken from Pastor Paul)
Lastly the ABC's of Salvation( Taken from Pastor JD)
A = Admit your a Sinner and or Acknowlege it . That your in need of a salvation ; Romans 3:10 " No One Is Rightous " Romans 3:23 All have sinned have fallen short of the Glory of God.
B= Believe Yeshua is Lord ( Jesus) : Romans 10: 9-10 If you believe in heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you WILL be saved.
C = Call upon His Name: Romans 10:9-10 The confession your mouth with the belief in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and is Lord you will be saved.
Amen!
