RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: JUDGMENT FOR THE BELIEVERS.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5: 10.
True believers in Christ will dwell with the heavenly Father forever in paradise. What a blessed assurance! But salvation is about more than just getting into heaven. It?s about the process of becoming increasingly like Jesus while living on earth. In fact, we?ll someday be asked to account for the way we used our opportunities, abilities, and resources.
In His parable of the talents, Jesus shared the importance of investing wisely all that our Father has bestowed on us. (See Matthew 25: 14 - 30). God gives His children different types and amounts of wealth, gifts, blessings, and circumstances. What matters to the Lord is the way we make use of them, not how much we have. Do we take what He has given and selfishly utilize it all for our own good and protection Or do we generously and cheerfully use those gifts and talents to serve Jesus Christ? These are the questions that Christians will answer at the believers judgment.
Of course, this accountability won't be the basis of our spending eternity in heaven (that issue is settled when we truly give our lives to Christ). Rather, we will be rewarded for the way we invested our life. And if we didn't spend our time and resources wisely, we will experience loss. Happy New Year.
ACTION POINT:
How do you utilize your time, abilities, and finances You will give an account before God someday.
SCRIPTURES:
Matthew 25: 14 ? 30
2 Corinthians 5: 1 ? 10.
PRAYER POINTS:

2. O Lord, may I not lose my reward in the name of Jesus.
3. O Lord, silent every storm in my home in the name of Jesus.
