Invest In You!

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (James 1:17)

A hungry man was on a journey. While walking through the woods, he came across a tree that was full of luscious fruit. The man had not eaten for days, and his hunger was making him weary. He tried to climb the tree to reach the fruit, but he stumbled and could not make it and bruised his knees in the process.

Frantically, he tried to leap up and grab a piece of fruit off of the tree. After hours of reaching and leaping and stretching and laboring, he became exhausted and fell to the ground. With his last burst of energy, he tried to throw stones to knock a piece of fruit down from the tree. His efforts did not work. The man grew more weary and perished by the fruit tree.

Now, a second hungry man walked up to the tree. He was excited because he had prepared himself in advance to partake of the fruit on the tree. He sought the prophet for the word of the Lord, prior to making his journey. The prophet revealed that someone had placed a ladder in the back of the tree so that no one would have to struggle to get to the fruit on the tree. With great joy and enthusiasm, the man climbed up the ladder and took all of the fruit that he needed. THE MAN HAD FRUIT TO EAT FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS…

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE JOURNEY?

The best investment you can make is in yourself. So many people fall short in this category and they end up living unhappy lives. Don’t allow this to happen to you. The enemy is always trying to keep you from attaining what God really has for you. He will keep you busy doing so much that you will end up missing one of the greatest opportunities in the world - and that is investing in your own life. True wealth, prosperity and wholeness come from the seeds that you sow into making YOUR life better.

I don’t want you to end up like the first hungry man who perished because he went on his journey without seeking the advice of the prophet. God wants you to take this very important first step by investing in yourself.

YOU ARE AT A PIVOTAL SEASON IN YOUR LIFE!

Every decision you make will have a major impact on your life. It is time for you to wake up and smell the coffee! So much of your time has already been wasted on doing for family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, your children. STOP! The time has come when you must INVEST IN YOURSELF and take back all the enemy has stolen from you!

Everyday people are advising us to invest in real estate, the stock market and items that appreciate in value. Well, you've dreamed about it long enough. You've desired it long enough. You've waited long enough. Let your next investment be an investment in your OWN life, an investment that is going to change your life forever!
