What if I told you to join a business program and upon completion, you’ll receive $10,000. To claim the money, you will have to do various pitches, business tasks, and training sessions so that you are able to use the money wisely in your business.

Well, I’m sure you would partake in the necessary task to receive the $10,000?

It’s the same with your relationship with God. However, upon completion, the prize is not money-but something greater-you will not perish, but may have life everlasting (John 3:16). How many of you are doing the “tasks” that will draw you closer to God?

In business and work you study and train to be better at what you do. It prepares you for the challenges ahead as we all know there are many challenges in work and business. Also, we study and train our faith (reading the bible, praying, being in fellowship, and fasting) to prepare ourselves for the challenges of the world. To know when to stand and fight or turn the other cheek, to be able to break down strongholds, to choose right from wrong, or how to receive a blessing with a heart of gratitude.
