PROFITING IN THE KING'S (GOD) BUSINESS

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Mark 10: 28-30 says28. Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.29. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30. But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life".
Hebrew 6:10 says " For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

The king in this context is the Almighty who is the creator and owner of the heaven and the earth- Psalm 24:1, Psalm47:7.
He alone is the king, all other kings are for a period and you have several of them reigning over England at a time, Queen Elizabeth reigns over the same kingdom now, but "the king" is an everlasting one who reigns forever.
Profiting involves labor, investment, commitment in human and mayerial capital, putting conscious effort to achieve gain/reward.

The king's bisiness therefore involves winning the world for Christ and every single soul won to Christ is a profit- luke 15:7. The account of the talents in the book of kue 19:13 Suffices. More so, God hhas given us talent, gifts and potentials to do the business. The critical investment required had been made by our Lord Jesus Christ by surrendering himself on the cross of calvary. 1 Cor.3:11
