THE FIRST DETERMINANT: SPEED - PART 4

THE FIRST DETERMINANT: SPEED - PART 4
Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 9:11, Genesis 19:15-22
Topic: Speed Determines The Financial Disasters Will Avoid 

"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." 
Ecclesiastes 9:11

The determinants are the characteristics and the virtues that determine the outcome of everything you do. Every area of life is therefore affected by determinants. Both spiritual and non-spiritual things are governed by determinants. In this series of our Quiet Time we will study in depth how speed governs our lives

4. SPEED DETERMINES THE FINANCIAL DISASTERS YOU WILL AVOID

And when the morning arose, then THE ANGELS HASTENED LOT, SAYING, ARISE, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE; LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE, neither stay thou in all the plain; ESCAPE TO THE MOUNTAIN, lest thou be consumed. And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. HASTE THEE, ESCAPE thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Genesis 19:15-22

Lot had to run out of Sodom and Gomorrah.  He needed speed to escape from ruin.  In the same way, you will need to think and act fast if you are to escape financial destruction.   There are certain decisions that will save your life. However, if you take those decisions too late, you will be ruined.  The man of speed will escape the evil of financial ruin.The man of speed will also avoid death.  Speed is essential in avoiding financial disasters, poverty and debt. Many people are slow to believe that debt is an evil thing. By the time they accept the truth of the word, it is too late to prosper. Giving mental assent to things without implementing them is a mistake. It is time to act fast. It is time to obey quickly. You must be quick to obey. You must be quick to believe if you are to avoid financial, marital and spiritual ruin. Speed determines your ability to win in the competition of life. 

Speed determines whether you will win a race! 
Speed determines whether you will be rich! 
Speed determines whether you will be successful! 
Speed determines what you will have! 
Speed determines whether you will have financial increase!

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
