With God All Things Are Possible
You know what? I'm so blessed by today's quiet time that I'm gonna try something new. I'm going to remix both the Amplified and Message version of verse 29-31 to send home a more impactful message!!
- Note: Blue is Amplified & Red is Message
- v29 Jesus said, Mark my words, there is no one who has sacrificed house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands —whatever— for My sake and for the Gospel's (will lose out)
30 Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, (the bonus of) eternal life!
31 This is once again the Great Reversal: many [who are now] first will be last [then], and many [who are now] last will be first [then].
I was sharing with Cuijing over dinner just yesterday night that among my secular clique of friends, I'm the one with the lowest pay.
Even though, yes, my position would provide me with time to serve the Lord and a generally better quality of life (my other friends either have long working hours or have to standby for emergencies 24 hours a day in their jobs), but when it boils down to dollars and cents, I really lose out big time. And when they entice me to join them in their industries, I tell them that I choose not to go there.
But during this morning's quiet time, Daddy spoke to me with such an impact! He reassures me that whatever I do for Him now, He'll repay me back 100 times! My pay is $2,700/mth right now. Daddy says He's goin to give me back $270,000/mth!!! That makes me a Multi-Millionaire!!!! Can I believe that???? What did I just read yesterday in Mark 9:24? “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
And although I am last now, I will be the first then!!!
