Insurance


Reading & Meditation
Luke 16: 19 -31
“… They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them” v 29

A story was told of the encounter of an insurance agent and an intending client. The insurance agent shares the following experience: His wealthy neighbour planned to build a big house with every convenience. In order to provide security for his wife he decided to take out insurance policy. The forms were completed and ready for signing. The agent phoned the neighbour to tell him that his signature was all that was needed. But the man delayed as neighbour's they often met; so he reminded him repeatedly, but after some months the man had still failed to sign as the premium was high.
At a later encounter the agent suggested, “The best thing would be to sign three days before the disaster happens”. His neighbour laughed, saying, “I can’t calculate that accurately” and said good bye.
The next morning his private plane crashed, and he was killed. A few days later the widow wanted to claim, the sum insured, but the contract hadn’t been signed!
This tragic incident is a warning against nonchalant procrastination, especially in view of eternity. We must put things in order with God during our life time. “Now is the day of salvation”. For the rich man he was putting it off, and it counted as irresponsibleness on his side.

Now God demands no premium, so why are you refusing to sign the document? Christ Jesus has paid the premium by His atoning death on the cross. Life under God should make no one shrink back. In fact, it is the only way worth living. For Lazarus he knew before he died, while for the rich man, it was late. Get insured now. Like I heard a young man said in a bus one day to a young lady “It’s your time not your life” so live it wisely dear! Stop saying it’s my life and I can do whatever I like with it, or tomorrow I will repent.  No one knows their turn to die, so get insured now!

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or  some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
