In Short: Kingdom Stock
Stock: a form of security that affirms that you have a share in the ownership of a company; you have a claim on the assets and earnings. Corporations sell these stocks to raise funds to operate their businesses.
Translated spiritually: my secure salvation through Christ that entitles me to an eternal inheritance. God then uses my investment (my surrendered self) to operate as His ambassador to advance His Kingdom on Earth.
Has God shown us how to make meaningful investments? His invested His own Blood, all of it. He invested 100%.
He invested 100% while knowing some souls would choose everlasting Death over eternal Life.
He invested 100% knowing we all needed freedom from Darkness.
He invested 100% while knowing the risk involved, that some would reject Him.
He invested 100% while knowing some would attempt to take advantage of a ‘ticket to Heaven’ but not give up anything for Him.
Am I wholeheartedly invested? Checklist:
- Intellectually invested? I’m filling my mind with the Word of God and not merely earthly information.
- Emotionally invested? (instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge; a state of mind deriving from circumstances, mood or relationships)
- Financially invested? I bring the tithe to prove I am free from the love of money and prove my trust in the Provider. I’m also free from the Law and, therefore, free to give much more than 10%.
- Occupationally invested? I view what I do as a ministry and operate according to God’s wisdom, not man’s. And I honor the Sabbath!
- Physically invested? I steward my body, my eating and exercise habits. And I spend time on my knees, physically humbling myself under God’s mighty hand.
Father in Heaven, You laid down Your life for me, so I choose to give my all back to You. You’ve freely given me an imperishable Inheritance just for believing in Christ, and now I want You to use me in any way You want to advance Your kingdom on Earth. You are my God, and I belong to You. In Jesus’s name.
