Thought For The Day: THE MIND OF CHRIST DOESNT GROW OLD!- You have the mind of Christ that is not old, slow or forgetful! 1 Corinthians 2:16 ... we have the mind of Christ. Have a FANTASTIC DAY LIVING IN THE SUPERNATURAL... RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL: HES WORTH EVERYTHING! ~ Monday, June 9th - Pastor Chris. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor (Matthew 26:8-9). Malachi 3:10 says, “ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse …,” meaning that irrespective of the amount—large or small—the tithe belongs to God. Never find yourself negotiating whether or not to pay your tithes; failure to pay it amounts to robbing God: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings” (Malachi 3:8). There’re times you might give to God and hear that sneaky voice ask you, “Why this waste?” That’s the devil talking; he has no intent on promoting the will of God. There’s nothing you could ever give to the Lord that’s too much or a waste. What matters is the value you attach to it in your heart, and how much the Lord is worth to you. Some parents, for example, get angry at their children for choosing to serve in the ministry. They tell them, “If you had told us you wanted to work in church, we would have sent you to a Bible school, and not “waste” funds to train you in the university.” They think that education is too much to be used in the ministry. The truth is, only the very best of anything you have is good enough for the Lord. He’s worth everything you could ever give and so much more. You can live a vibrant, exciting, inspiring, and victorious life serving Him with all your heart, and making Him number one in everything in your life. Don’t let anyone deceive you with vain words and tell you it’s a waste to serve Him thus. He’s the Lord, and He’s worth more than your life, and everything you’ve got! He owns you, absolutely! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your very best, your Son Jesus Christ, to save me, and also for the Holy Spirit, who guides, strengthens and comforts me through your Word, to fulfil your will. You deserve my all, and the very best I could ever give; I’ll serve you with my life, now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY Romans 8:32 AMP He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things? John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 2 Samuel 24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
