Word of Hope for Today with
Bro. Rolly Custodio
What is World Richest Mean To You than God? (Part-2)
‘Seek His kingdom, and
these things will be given to you as well.’ Luke 12:31 NIV
Today’s Insight
At what point does
need become greed?
One author
writes: ‘Rarely does a person wake up and say, “I’ve been living for an ego
trip…I’m going to get rid of the big car and the fancy yacht and go and live in
the slums…working with the poor.” God deals with us individually. What may be
okay for some, isn’t necessarily okay for others.
When
Pastor Renny Scott began wrestling with this issue…he said, “I just couldn’t
resolve the tension of living in a peaceful bedroom community while hell on
earth was all around me in the form of hunger and poverty.” He went to Africa
with World Vision, which was the beginning of involvement with the needs of
others. Next he moved into the inner city…That was the second step. Then he
took a church of 50 which met in a school cafeteria. When a deacon suggested
they give the entire Sunday morning offering to missions, Scott swallowed hard
– because his salary was included! Eventually he and his wife came to grips
with their lifestyle and did something I’ve challenged many to do…cap your
lifestyle and say, “This much and no more”; and everything above that was given
away…The little church grew into a body of 1,800 people who matched dollars for
buildings with dollars for missions.
Today
they’ve taken on the challenge of helping homeless people find affordable
housing. Scott said, “I had to pause and ask myself what I’d want to be doing
if Christ returned today. And I found myself answering from Matthew chapter 24
and 25 …to take my talents and invest them [where the need was].”‘
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your
Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord thank you for teaching
me to be content of what I have and to always thank of all the blessings that
you gave to me. Lord anoint me to have compassion with the lost souls so that I
can fully support to reach them out that they may know you Lord the only hope
of humanity. Lord teaches us to be united in serving those poor and that I may
not connect myself to the love of this world but to connect myself to love the
sinners and bring them to Christ for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.

today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services
