Investing in Jesus: Pastor Rajiv's Daily Reflections

Important Notice : Announcing our new initiative - 

Each1-Reach1

One of the serious and long term as well as dangerous effects of COVID Lockdowns and other associated problems, worldwide, has been the growth of mental health issues, depression, job losses, life losses, and so much more. We, each of us, would know at least one person who maybe suffering from such issues and may need support. 

Therefore from tomorrow we are starting an initiative we call EACH1-REACH1 where each of our readers can get involved and invest a little bit of time. 

We will ask you to think of one person, with whom you think our post of the day, or our mid week messages, may resonate and bring some peace. Share that post with them and reach out to people who need you. God will Bless you for your thoughts and prayers.

Now, to Today's Post ......

1 Timothy 6:19

"...storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed."

Our human minds are conditioned to draw mental pictures of certain words and phrases. And I am sure that the word "invest" conjures up visions of money and wealth, whether in terms of a currency or other assets.

But do you know what is the most valuable asset we have? It is our mind, our heart and our time. So the subject line does not refer to money but to our god given gifts and their use. How do we invest in Jesus?

We need to deposit our life in Christ. This involves knowledge and trust. We need to invest into growing our knowledge of Christ, His word and His life. As we grow that knowledge, we will see God's hand in our own life and which will build our trust in Him. When we have trust, we will depend on Him more and more, love him more and more and because we love Him, we will follow His commands and His guidance.

This also means we increase our own understanding of God, of Jesus and of the Holy Spirit, so that we can see and understand their work in our lives, which also enables us to share that experience so that others can benefit as well. It helps us to build a four dimensional relationship - With God our creator, with Jesus Christ our savior, with the Holy Spirit - our sanctifier and with our fellow men.

people may ask why should we do this? what's in it for me? Well there is plenty in it for each one of us. To know what it is, please read yesterday's post.

Meanwhile, start investing!
