When You Give Your Life
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty. – Malachi 3:10-12.
Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” – John 12:23.
Ray Kroc borrowed $1.5 million when he began expanding his McDonald’s restaurants in the late 1950s. He took no salary at first and, in lieu of raises, gave his first employees stock in the company. His executive secretary, June Martino, received 10 percent of the company stock. Twenty years later it was worth $64 million.
Spending $1,650 for 100 shares of Wal Mart stock in 1970 multiplied into 51,200 shares worth $2.7 million by 1992. Many of the fifty original investors bought $5,000 shares in the revolutionary Price Club. Each $5,000 in 1993 was worth $43 million.
S. N. Behrman, who had backed many Broadway shows, had to be forced into financing “Oklahoma!” One of its supporters told him it was the least he could do for the Theater Guild after all it had done for him. His $20,000 eventually returned him $660,000!
Capitalizing on the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, Jesus multiplies every small investment into a colossal return. He weighs back to us in tons of spiritual benefits our every ounce of spiritual effort. He provides the wealth that secures what the heart needs and the soul desires. God has the intention and the resources to share all he possesses with those who remain faithful. If we don’t want to be saved, no power on earth can make us. If we do, no power on earth can stop us!
