God’s Greatest Investment

Pastor Bayo Adewuyi

God has many investments, but one of it is the greatest! The galaxy, moon, sun, earth and the entire solar system are all God’s investments. Investment is done for profit. Every day you wake up, you are living for profit. Even your coming to church, fasting and praying may be to get something from God in return. This also is profit. Whatever you do for a gain or return is for profit. The two important things in investment is input and output.

1 Tim 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

1 Tim 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

God wants your life to profit. God is insisting that you do all you can to make it to heaven; because the profiting in coming to church is that you make it to heaven. God expects us to profit being is child just as He expects to profit from us.

Jer 13:7-11 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 Thus saith the LORD, after this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Here, God called His people evil people because they were not profiting. When your life is not profitable to God, it is not right. When your lie is not producing after God’s kind, it is not right. However, I am not just talking about you as the investment of God; I want to talk about God’s greatest investment. Though we are God’s investment, the greatest of His investments is Christ! The lion of the tribe of Judah! This is an investment God never regretted.

Rev 5:1-10 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which the seven Spirits of God are sent forth into all the earth.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The Profits God Made By Investing Christ

  1. It produced miracles for the world. This investment called Jesus Christ brought a world of miracles into our world. There is absolutely nothing impossible with God. You need to build a world of faith around yourself so God can come through for you, because God only responds to faith, not complaints or murmurs. This miracle produces access to God for the whole world. Mark 5:35-43.
  2. It produced healing for the world. This healing is available for every known and unknown ailing condition. To be healed of a condition is a decision; only make up your mind for divine healing and never doubt for once. Let you faith in Christ be concrete. Mark 5:25-30.
  3. It brought deliverance into the world. Deliverance is the children’s meat. Deliverance is an integral package of salvation. Mark 7:26-30.
  4. The investment in Jesus brought prosperity for His own. There is power in Jesus to produce more than enough out of the little you have. Matt 17:24-27.
  5. God invested Jesus and got many millions of sons and daughters out of it (whom we are). Romans 8:29, Rev 1:5, Job 22:2.
  6. Jesus the investment brought the Holy Spirit unto us. The guidance and help of the Holy Spirit has helped us through this journey because of this wonderful investment in Jesus. John 16:7

Conclusion

Rev 5:9-10 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

God wants us to make the most of this investment. So, don’t waste it; miracles, healing, deliverance, prosperity, sonship and guidance are available in this investment. God can do the impossible and manifest the invisible. God wants these profits to appear to all men.

God bless you.

There is power in Jesus to produce more than enough out of the little you have.
