We Will Profit!
“Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.” Hebrews 4:1-2
What does a promise mean? According to Dictionary.com, it means a declaration that something will or will not be done or given by one. It also means an express assurance on which expectation is based.
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest. Jesus never fails in keeping His promise so why do so many in the Bride of Christ find themselves restless and in chaos? Why is the world restless?
Jesus says we are the Light of the world. A catalyst of transformation. He gives us, His beloved bride all authority to rule and reign on earth (Matthew 18:18). So, why are we still restless? Why is there still chaos?
In this passage of Hebrews, it says the gospel was preached to them but the word they heard did not profit them. A profit is what is left over from an exchange. Every time you gather with your Kingdom family, every time you pray, every time you read your Bible, devotional or a book, every conversation you have Jesus intends to make an exchange with you that will profit your life and the lives of those around you. Unfortunately, many sons and daughters are missing out on a profit.
Our Kingdom family at TWP has determined to be profitable in every exchange we have with Jesus. We have set our hearts to receive a profit every time we step foot on our Kingdom family’s property at 208 Pass Rd because we know the significance of the family He is planting in this special place. We see the transformation of a city once destitute. This transformation began in our hearts and families and we’re seeing the fruit of it in the buildings all down Pass Rd. Not only are we seeing transformation in Gulfport, but we are seeing it in the state of Mississippi. It was just announced MS is ranked #2 in the GDP growth. GDP is Gross Domestic Product, it is the total value of all goods and services produced within a country’s borders during a specific time, typically a year. It’s a key indicator of a nation’s economic health and performance, reflecting the size and growth of its economy.
How is this happening? In Hebrews, it says they did not profit because they did not mix their faith with what they heard. So, in order to see a profit you must add your faith to what you are hearing. We (TWP families) are seeing a profit in our lives both spiritually and physically, a profit in our city and surrounding areas, and a profit in Mississippi because we have determined to be who Jesus says we are- The Light of the World. A City set on a Hill whose light will not be hidden. We aren’t running from the dark, desolate places instead we are lighting them up and declaring the Peace of Heaven to reign.
Will you join us in adding your faith to what you are hearing so you can profit in your life and be a catalyst of change for your family? You can find rest in Him, but it requires adding your faith to what you hear Him speaking to you. Will you steward a little in order to govern a lot?
