The Bible says, “By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven–it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well.” (1 Timothy 6:19 TLB) Luke 16:9
This is one of the most misunderstood statements by Jesus, but he isn’t saying we should “buy” friends with money. What he meant was that you should use the money God gives you to bring people to Christ.
They will then be friends for eternity who will welcome you when you get to heaven! It’s the best financial investment you’ll ever make. You’ve probably heard the expression “You can’t take it with you”– but the Bible says you can send it on ahead, by investing in people who are going there!
There are a lot of good, sincere and truthful organizations that aim at securing good future for children, young adults, older adults, men and women – so what do you do, how can you play your part? Invest!
Even in your local church or community, you can invest in the lives of individuals, not necessarily monetary value, but emotionally and mentally, your encouragement can go a long way, your prayers can go ahead to do that which your money won’t do.
