Investment Strategy 101

Psalms 146:3 (KJV)

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Putting Your Trust in (Princes) Royalty or Leaders among the people

Or in any Son of Adam(man)… you will find yourself without Help!

Invest your Trust where it will be safe-

Who then do we put Trust in?

“God”

-His Under-Shepherd

-His Word

Men and Those Esteemed Successful Will Never be an Adequate Substitute-

A sign I once saw-

“Invest in What Appreciates-

Lease What Depreciates”

Buy the Truth and

Borrow from the Egyptians

(that’s what Israel did when leaving Egypt)

1 Peter 4:11

Immodest vs. Abomination

Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV)

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Immodest denotes-(not fully covered) or Revealing…

An (ABOMINATION)

Means it is Detestable and  a Stink Unto God…

While One is Lewd the Other is an Affront Against God-

Lack of Clothing is only Sinful in Public Not When In Private…

But-

*An Abomination to God is Wrong Whether in-

Private or Public!

Take Care What You Put On to Wear-ANYWHERE

Being an Abomination in the Sight of God is not Advisable…

1 Peter 4:11

Discretion

Proverbs 29:12 (KJV)

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

Discretion:

The ability to show self control, discerning a situation…

A Ruler, Leader or Head of Household-

Will Be Affected by Those You Are listening To…

Contrary to Accepted Belief- Balance is Not Hearing Both Sides!!!

I don’t need to read the Quran to understand the Bible!

I don’t need to hear evil to understand God’s goodness!!!

As a leader, you will affect everybody downwards by who you’re listening to!

Wise Leader surrounds himself with Truth!

Because everybody that listens to me is dependent that I don’t mess up…

1 Peter 4:11

Carnal Weapons Don’t Work!

2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

You Cannot Fight a Cyber Attack With a Steel Sword

You Cannot Fight Spiritual Battles With Words-

Losing Money is Much Different Than Losing Your Soul…

Physical Battles Are First Won by Spiritual Victories-

I’ve Seen People Whole in Body to Only Die Because of Spiritual Failure…

Spiritual Victory and Power Has Won More Battles…

Handicapped, Overwhelmed and Out Numbered-

BUT HAD SPIRITUAL DOMINATION-

Noah

David

Daniel

Shadrach

Meshach

Abednego

Esther

Gideon

Put Your Swords Up

Put Your Knees Down

The Battle Will Be Won on Your Knees…

Your Best Friend

Micah 2:11 (KJV)

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

A Lying Preacher is a Sinner’s Best Friend…

There is a Difference Between Hearing

What You Want

vs.

What You Need…

Support and Empowerment

Is Not  Always a Blessing

But Rather a Curse…

A Lying Prophet is Like Hyperthermia to a Dying Man…

The Warmth and Sleep

Are Much Appreciated…

1 Peter 4:11

Preparation is Everything

Hosea 10:12 (KJV)

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD,

(till he come and rain righteousness upon you.)

⁃ Hospitals Prepare for Patients

⁃ Mothers Prepare for Babies

⁃ Farmers Prepare for Harvest

And Yet Many Live Their Lives Unprepared for Christ…

God’s Blessings Are Not the Roll of the Dice!

Heaven is Not Vegas.

If You Truly Want God to Rain Down “Righteousness” on You

Then You Need to “Prepare”

The first 8 words of our verse are actually the result of the rest of the verse….

The Prerequisite to the Rain Coming is in the following:

⁃ Break Up Your Fallow Ground

⁃ Seek the Lord

These 2 Things and Then You’ll Be Ready for the Rain of God-
