APPRECIATING THE PLACE OF SPIRITUAL INVESTMENT. PART 1

ECCLESIASTES 11:1 1 CAST YOUR BREAD UPON THE WATERS, FOR AFTER MANY DAYS YOU WILL FIND IT AGAIN. 2 DIVIDE YOUR PORTION AMONG SEVEN, OR EVEN EIGHT, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT DISASTER MAY BEFALL THE LAND.… Understanding spiritual matters requires that we appreciate divine investment.  To appreciate investment is to secure the eventual outcome of our future. In fact, we can precisely plan and prepare for the uncertainty of the future by sacrificing the pleasure of today as an investment that generates greater dividends for tomorrow.  HOSEA 10:12 SOW RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR YOURSELVES, REAP THE FRUIT OF UNFAILING LOVE, AND BREAK UP YOUR UNPLOWED GROUND; FOR IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD, UNTIL HE COMES AND SHOWERS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ON YOU. As I examine the spiritual structure of most people and note the prophetic timeline of the days we have been ushered in, I see that there are very few who precisely understand this concept of seeing in the things of the Spirit.  Many people appreciate spiritual things, but very few know and understand that spiritual things are born out of the womb of divine investment. In other words, if you want to see the fulfillment of certain spiritual desires, we need to learn how to invest in order to see the manifestation of these things.  This message is intended to help us recognize and appreciate the call to invest our time and resources in securing the next prophetic Epoch that the Lord has ordained for us, especially in the place of prayer and intercession.
