I want to share with us something that is very important in the heart of God. It's about kingdom. It's about stewardship. And it is about our responsibility in the kingdom of God and in the family of God. So, we are looking at: Revisiting Stewardship in The Kingdom of God. So, we are going to be looking at this particular topic and we will be examining our lives in the light of God's kingdom and what exactly God will have us do on the face of the earth. I want to start by simply explaining certain things to us very quickly that is going to form the background of what we are going to be talking about as it relates to this title.

 

When it comes to God, there are two broad areas in which God relates with us. Now those areas may be more than two. But when we are looking at how God relate with us as His children, there are two broad areas that that relationship can actually come under. Now, the very first of that area is what is called sonship. And the second one is what is called stewardship. So, God relate is with us and everything that make up God's relationship with us come under those two category headings; as a result of our sonship and as a result of our stewardship. Now, we're not talking about sonship in this piece because it is not the focus. But I quickly want to show us something that you know, brought us in that particular category as it relates with us.

 

Now, the Bible made us to understand in 1^st John chapter 3:1-2. Let me quickly show something about that Scripture that showed us our sonship as it relates to God and our relationship with God the Father. The Bible says: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. ² Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

 

The love of God is the precipitation or the basis upon which God has brought us unto Himself. I'm just trying to paraphrase. And this Scripture as we read, is showing us the process. It says “God loved us, and He has bestowed His love upon us that we should be called the sons of God.” So, God relate with you on this basis of sonship, you are a son of God, because sometimes when you ask yourself, “How come God loves me so much? How come God cares about me so much?” It is how a father, in the flesh, cares for his son or his daughter, it is that same level of love and relationship, even though God's own is a bit higher. So sometimes when you sit down and you begin to look at your life, and you begin to see that the things that God has done for you, and all that is promised to do for you; it is on the basis of that sonship, you are His son, God is responsible for you. God is responsible for every outcome of your life, according to His will.

 

The Bible says, “We should be called the sons of God.” And it says: “Therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not.” Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” So, God relate with you on the basis of father-son relationship. And that's what the Bible says, “He has put His Spirit in us by which we cry out, Abba, Father.” You know, many times when your son or your children cries out to you as a father, what do you do? You respond, God respond to you, on the basis of the fact that you belong to his family. So, God relate with us on the basis of sonship.

 

But that is not the focus, I just quickly want us to see that picture so that we can understand why God is our Father. But the basis upon which we want to focus on, the second broad area which make God relate with us is on the basis of stewardship. As much as your sonship is important to God, your stewardship also, is important to God. Are we following? Now you don't say “I'm a son of God”, and then you negate this aspect of your relationship with God. God loves you as His child, God loves you because He is your father. There is also another aspect of your life that God is keenly looking out for. And this is where many believers don't understand it.

 

You see, if you are ever going to be something in the hands of God, if you are going to be something that is to be reckoned with in the kingdom of God, let me shock you, most of the time, it does not come on the basis of sonship. Now, I'm not saying that sonship is not important. But if you are going to be a mighty vessel, a mighty tool in the hands of God, most of the times it does not come on the basis of sonship. It comes on on the platform of stewardship. So, how do I know this? Everyone that the Bible recorded, that God ever used for something mighty, and something great in their generation, and in their lifetime, they did that on the basis of stewardship and not sonship. Look at Isaiah chapter 42. Let me show us this particular example that will help us to understand that so that we can begin to think stewardship even though we know that we are sons of God, we are children of God, this aspect of our relationship with God is so important. Isaiah chapter 42:1-2. The Bible says:

 

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.”

 

Did you see that? Verse one. It says “I have put my Spirit upon Him...” Now, if we pause a bit and ask ourselves; who was God talking about in this place? Was He talking about one of the angels? Was He talking about one of the 24 Elders? Who exactly was God talking about? The Bible showed us He was talking about Christ Jesus. Look at what God said, “Behold My servant.” He didn't say, “Behold, my son.” Now, don't forget, Jesus is His son. If you read Isaiah 9, it says “for unto us a child is born and a son is given...” But look at what God qualified Christ Jesus His Son with in Isaiah 42. It says, “Behold, my servant”, not my son. Does stewardship make you less of a son of God? No. But God is driving at something so that you and I can understand how we become relevant in the scheme of things in the kingdom of God.

 

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
² He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

 

So, what do we want to bring out from here? It simply means that if we live every other character that the Bible showed us, and we focus on Christ Jesus alone, how did Christ Jesus become great in the kingdom of God? Is it by the virtue of His sonship? No! But by the virtue of His stewardship. By the virtue of what Christ came to do. Now, I was thinking about it, you know, when Jesus came on the earth, you know, if Jesus had come to the earth, and all He was doing when he was around was dancing around town, dancing around Judea, and Jerusalem, and Samaria, and it was just dancing, maybe He got some people who were drumming for Him, and saying, “I am Jesus, the Son of God, I am Jesus, the Son of God.” And He was doing that in every city and in every town that He went to, would Jesus have been able to accomplish His assignments? The answer is no! Jesus did not accomplish what He accomplished for the kingdom and in the kingdom of God, on the basis of His sonship. You see, sonship in the family of God commends us to God on the basis of family-relationship. You are a son of God because you belong to God's family.

 

When we talk about kingdom, it's about an assignment, a responsibility that you have in that family. Now, if you have a child, let's say you have one or two children, and there is a particular one of the children that anytime you say to him or her do this, he or she goes to do it immediately. And you have another one, anytime you say to him or her do this, and he does not feel like doing anything most especially, last born. They don't want to do anything. Does that mean they are no longer your children? No. But you know that in terms of relationship, in terms of responsibility, there is one you quickly run to, and there is one you don't dare. Even sometimes when you want to dare them, you need to persuade them. But you won’t say because you are irresponsible. I have never seen any parents, no matter how irresponsible their wards are, that they send them away. There are no parents who will deny his or her child on the basis of irresponsibility. Even the most hardened criminals that are children of some people, you'll see that their family name, they still stand by them, although depending on the level of crime that they commit.

 

But you can't deny that part that they belong to you. Because when all is said and done, and they begin to dig about them, their roots will come back to you. So, you are a son of God, on the basis of the fact that you are in the family of God. But God also relate with you on the basis of stewardship. Let me show us Philippians 2:5-11. Let's look at Christ Jesus again so that you can understand what this stewardship is and you give yourself to it. The Bible says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” So, let's look at it a bit. Let this mind be in you as it was also in Christ Jesus. What mind was it talking about? Stewardship mindset! So, it tells us that stewardship in the kingdom of God is a mindset. Stewardship in the kingdom of God is and have as so much to do with your mind, the state of your mind, understanding what it truly means.

 

Jesus is the Son of God. But Jesus also understood His assignments. Many of us believers don't understand our assignment. You know, many times when we emphasize this, it is because there is nothing you can do about it, you have come into it, you have come into it. And the more we let you understand this, the better it is for you. I can't go to an unbeliever in the world now and begin to teach stewardship. Will they understand? No! So, why are we talking about stewardship to ourselves? Because you need to know what it is. You are a son of God, you are a child of God, God is not going to wake up tomorrow and deny that fact, because His imprint is already on you. But you need to know this aspect of your relationship with God. God deals with you also on this aspect. So, stewardship, according to Philippians 2, is a mindset. The Bible showed us, “let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus who been in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.”

 

Did we see that? He is in the form, but He never say “well I am God on the face of the earth, I'm here to establish the Kingdom of God” and then He did not do anything. If you look at the latter part, verse 10, if you read from verse 9, you know we are talking about how you become great in the kingdom, let me just jump to the other verses. The Bible says: “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name...” How did Jesus get to that point? On the basis of what He did, stewardship. If you give yourself to stewardship, God exalts you, God lifts you. It says, God exalted Him, “gave Him a name that is above every other name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

 

How did Jesus get to this exalted position? Not on the basis of sonship but stewardship. Are we getting something? Look at John chapter 12:23-26. We are still looking at how exaltation come in the kingdom of God as a child of God. The Bible says:

 

“But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. ²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour.”

 

How do honour come in the kingdom of God? On the basis of stewardship, on the basis of service. So, in the kingdom of God, the pathway to greatness is not sonship even though sonship is important. The pathway to greatness is stewardship. Jesus said... my servant will be. How do they become His servants? Because they have served me, Jesus said. So, when you are following Jesus, you are following Jesus to serve, not to boast about the fact that you are a child of God. Yes, it is good to boast that you are born again and you a child of God. But you are following Him to serve.

 

What then is Kingdom stewardship? Haven looked at that background, what exactly is Kingdom stewardship? Kingdom stewardship is serving God and His interest on the earth. That is where we are going. So, you want to tell yourself, what is the interest of God on the earth? What exactly is God interested in on earth? When God looks down to the earth from heaven, what exactly stairs the mind and the heart of God? Because you can’t be a son and the interest of your father is not your interest. So, if you are going to give yourself to kingdom stewardship, it begins from you knowing the interest of God, it begins from you knowing the will of God on the earth. That's what Kingdom stewardship is all about.

 

Also, kingdom stewardship is being about the business of God on the earth. You understand the interest of God, and then you are about that interest. You are about that business. Luke 2:48-49, let us look at again, the life of Jesus. The Bible says: “So, when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him...” The parent of Jesus were looking for Him for three days. They had gone to Jerusalem to attend a feast. The feast was over. Everybody was returning to their various location. The parents of Jesus taught that Jesus was in their company. So, they were going. And they had gone three days journey before they discovered that this boy is not in our company. Where is He? So, verse 48 now says “when they saw Him, they were amazed. And his mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us?

 

Imagine looking for a child for three days. A lot of emotional drama would have gone down the drain. “Why have you don this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.” Has He been kidnapped? Will they call? What will be the ransom? Where could He be? Is He in the neighbors’ company? Anxiously they were looking for Him. ⁴⁹ And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Why are you looking for me? I am about my Father's business on earth. I am about God’s interest on the earth. I think the parent got the message that day. So, when we're talking about Kingdom stewardship, it is about you understanding what the business of the Father is.

 

God has a business on the face of the earth and you are not just a son of God so that you can enjoy the privileges, the perks that come with being a son of God. The perk that that come with being a son of God, a daughter of God is that you serve, you are about His business. So, we are saying all these things? What are the things that incapacitate our stewardship in the kingdom? Why is it a many of us don't give ourselves to kingdom stewardship even though we are children of God. Because we must dig deeper. We are sons and daughters of God but don’t care or care less about the business of the father. What are the things that causes it?

 

Number one is WORRY. Now let me show us Matthew Chapter 6. This is one of the things that incapacitates our stewardship in the kingdom. Matthew chapter 6 from verse 24. Let me show us something that Jesus taught the people that were with Him at a particular point in time. The Bible says, ‘No one can serve two masters...” Please I want us to pay attention. Because from the from the pages of this Bible passage we are reading, you will discover why you have not been so interested about your stewardship. Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

 

So, in other words, you cannot steward God and also steward mammon. You know what mammon is; money, materialism. Jesus said in verse 25: “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life...” What does worry do to you? Worry renders you incapacitated. Anytime worrying sets in, it renders you useless, you don't know what to do. You don't even know how to do it. Jesus said, do not worry about your life. So, why is Jesus telling you not to worry about your life? Look at what it says: what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

 

Why do people go about not minding the business of God, the interest of God? It is because they go about minding their own business, minding their own interest. The Bible says all these things you are looking for, your life is more than them. If you read Jobb 36:11, because all these things you are worrying about, Job showed us a little bit about what you can do so that you won't worry. If you read Job 36:11, the Bible says “if they obey and serve Him, they will spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure.”

 

What you are worrying about, what you are running after, what has been your preoccupation and business and interest, that is not God’s, Job said if you can serve God, if you obey and serve... It didn’t say if they obey and pray, it didn’t say if they obey and they are sons of God or children of God, it is in service. When you serve God, the Bible says God is not unjust to forget (the day you became born again, the last time you prayed in church, how you went 40 days and 40 night). It says God is not unjust to forget your labour of love. So why are you worrying about your life when you can serve God and enjoy your days in prosperity and your years in pleasures?

 

You know, sometimes we get carried away. We think that maybe what we are doing for God, God doesn't see. There is nothing that God does not see. God sees. The Bible says His eyes are all over the earth. If you look at verse 26 of Matthew 6, it says: “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” It says the birds don't work, right. But God feeds them. If God can be so mindful of even the living creature that we call animals, how much more you? It says: “Are you not of more value than they?” Are you not of more value than the birds of the air? It says: Which of you by worrying... worrying about the clothes you will wear. Worrying about the shoes you will wear. Worrying about where the next meal will come from. Worrying about how you will pay your children’s school fees, about how to build a house, buy a car, worrying about everything, can add one cubit to his stature?

 

So, if that is impossible, Jesus now said in verse 28, so why do you worry? Ask yourself, why do I worry? Why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not ^[l]arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Will He not much more give you food to eat? You have been incapacitated as a steward because you worry about your life. You are preoccupied about your life. The Bible even showed us that your life is not even yours. If something is not your own, won’t you give it back to the owner? That is what God is saying. God is saying surrender yourself to me with reckless abandon and see if I God will not take care of you. God is showing you that if I can take care of the animals, the birds in the air and lilies in the valley, they never toil, they never sow. He says how much more you.

 

It says: “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek... Unbelievers, unbelieving nation, this is what they seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But you... seek first the kingdom of God (seek first the interest of God, seek first the business of God). When Jesus was teaching His disciples how to pray, He said: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come... If you are to look at your life since this year began up until now, what can you say that you have categorically done for God that is a reckoning to your account? How have you served God? It says: seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

 

So why have we not been effective in our kingdom stewardship even though we are sons of God? We worry about the things of the earth. Job said if you serve the Lord your God, you will spend your days in prosperity, not in poverty. You can't serve God and be poor. I know some of us will be countering that like are there not Christians around us that are very poor. Sometimes, you don't judge things by their appearance. How you really look at things is from the point of view of the Scripture. Right! The Bible says “if I...” Forget about how people practice their Christianity, be more interested in how you practice your Christianity. The basis for practicing your Christianity is the word of God. The Bible says “if I Abiola serves the Lord, I will spend my days in prosperity.”

 

Number two: What incapacitates our stewardship in the kingdom is DEAD WORKS. Hebrews 9:13-14. Look at what the Bible says. “For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” When your conscience is cleansed of dead works, you will serve the living God. In other words, you will offer an acceptable service. Dead Works! works.

 

Number three: UNFAITHFULNESS! Luke 12:42. The Bible says: “And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? ⁴³ Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.” Many of us that have given ourselves to stewardship, we are unfaithful. How many things have God committed into our hands? Okay, we have gone, we have discovered the father's business. This is what the father's business is. This is what the will of the Lord is. How faithful are we to it?

 

If you sleep and have a vision right now and you see Christ Jesus, can Christ Jesus tell you are a good and faithful servant? Are we getting what I'm trying to say? Unfaithfulness! We do many things for a season, we stop. But the Bible says, whose Master will find so doing. You are continuing. If it will take another 20,000 years for Christ Jesus to come and God gives you that longevity of life, you will continue. I was listening to a tape. I saw a video of Pastor Kumuyi. So, he was telling his congregation and said they should look at him whether he looks like somebody who wants to retire? But you know he is very old. You know, sometimes we are emotional people. “Baba, at this age, you shouldn't be going about doing global crusade. This is time for you to be enjoying the reward of the kingdom. Let your sons carry one.”

 

You don't retire from Kingdom business. You fulfill it. You do it until your very last breath. And that's why Jesus said in that place. He says if you are so careful about your life, I'm so old. I'm so fragile. I don't know how to. He says if you are so careful about your life, he says that life that you are so careful about, you will lose it. But if you release yourself, you release that life and say “God whatever you want to make of my life make of it”, He says then you will gain that life. Many of us are so afraid to give ourselves to the things of God because we feel like “oh this thing takes time. These things will affect my commitment. This thing will not make me do this and that.” No! He says his master will come and he will find him so doing. And look at what it says in verse 46. It says: “the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.” He was talking about the unfaithful servant in this place. So, ounfaithfulness incapacitates our our kingdom stewardship.

 

Lastly, let's look at a few points on areas of our lives where we can steward in the kingdom of God, what are the aspects of your life that you can give yourself to stewardship. The first one I want to show you is your life. If you are going to serve God, you serve God with your life. You know, you can serve God with many things. But those many things are not as important as your life. God is interested in your life. So, you steward the kingdom of God with your life, you give your life to it. Moses said to the children of Israel, you will love the Lord your God, with all your heart; with all. So, you give your life to God, you say “God, this is my life, take it and use it for your glory.”

 

Because if God does not have your life, it means something else has that life. So, you steward God’s kingdom with your life. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. Look at what Solomon wrote in this place. It says: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: At the end of the day, whether you live 70 years, or you live 99 years, or you live 930 years like Methuselah, Solomon said this is the conclusion of the whole matter. He said: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. If you read in KJV, it says “for this is the whole duty of man.” Look at verse 14, it says: “For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

 

Verse 13, says, serve God, keep His commandments. This is your duty. Your duty is to serve God with your life. So don't say “well, I will serve God with my money alone. But my life is not available. Or I will serve God with my time alone. But my money or resources is not available.” No. All those things are a subset of your life. So, when you serve God with your life, you serve God with everything that you are.

 

Number two, serve God with your prayer life. I call it prayer stewardship. You can serve God's kingdom through prayer. And there is a character in the Bible that God showed us. If you read Luke 2:36-38, the Bible showed us about a particular woman, a prophetess called Anna. The Bible says: “Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; ³⁷ and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. Did we see that? Anna didn’t go about preaching the gospel. Because sometimes when we say we should serve God, many of us limits to being a pastor or starting a church. No! There are different expressions of our lives that we can give into stewardship. But the most important thing is that your life must be submitted.

 

The Bible says this woman was praying and fasting every night and day. And the Bible says ³⁸ And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” This woman was fasting and praying to see the kingdom of God, to see the coming of Christ Jesus. Did we see that? So, pray! Pray that the will of God be done. Is that not what Jesus said to His disciples? He says this must be the preoccupation of your prayer. That the kingdom of God come.

 

Let's conclude this way. There is nothing that is going to take you away from the hands of God if you don't take yourself away. Because you must also know that you can actually take yourself away. If you are tired, you can leave. You can renounce your faith; it is not going to be shocking. God is not going to be shocked that you renounce your faith because apostle Paul wrote about it. He says in the latter times, some will depart from the faith. Do you understand? But it is going to be regrettable if you are in the faith and at the end of the day, you do not give God the basis to apportion your portion of the kingdom to you, I'm talking about your inheritance.

 

When you have a child who is your favourite, and God so much bless you, and He takes you away at a ripe old age, you are apportion so much of your will to such a child because you have seen responsibility over the years. If you have a responsible child and you have an irresponsible child, you don't take your company and give to the irresponsible, some of us we watch Africa Magic story now, right? We see those fathers, they will say that this one is not responsible, you cannot handover an oil company to him, he is going to ruin it in two years. So, what do you do? Parents carry most of the responsibility on a child that they know is a servant.

 

If God will commit your inheritance into your hands, it does not come to you or fall on you like a ripe pawpaw, you must serve your way to it. In the story of the prodigal son, the Bible says the eldest son came and said father, you are so partial, you shouldn't do this and all that. I have been serving you all these years. What did the father say to him? He said all that I have is yours? How will everything that God has become yours? It is on the basis of stewardship. Exodus 23:25-28. The Bible says:

 

“So, you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. ²⁶ No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days. “I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. ²⁸ And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.”

 

All those blessings come on the premise of what... SERVICE! So, many times you don't need to be praying to God and say “God give me long life, give me prosperity.” You know that is the prayer point of some people, right. “God prosper me. God, I want to live long. God prosper me.” No! The Bible has shown us, Job 36:11 and this Scripture says if you serve God, God will fulfill the number of your days. You don’t need to be praying to God for long life. Do we understand? God says if you serve me, I will fulfill. It is an obligation on the part of God. When we serve God, we place an obligation on God to do what He say He will do.

 

So, if you're serving God, you are heartily stewarding the kingdom of God, there are certain things you don't pray about. God automatically responds. That's what the Bible is saying. He says I will. If you serve me, I will prosper you. It's an exchange. You know, in biology, they call it symbiosis, give and take. So, if you give God service, if you are about the business of the Father on the earth, God says “I...” you don't need to worry about prosperity, I will prosper you. I will bless your bread and your water. I will fulfill the number of your days. You will not suffer miscarriage. If peradventure in the past you suffer miscarriage, God will restore. Right?

 

God will restore. There are precedences in the Bible. Job suffered miscarriage, he was serving God, right. And then, what happened? The Bible says God restored him in many folds, several folds. So, if peradventure you have suffered miscarriage, God is a restorer. Because I know sometimes when we're hearing messages, our minds are always open. You get what I am saying, God will restore. God is faithful. He says I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. So, when you are serving God, you don't need to worry about your enemy. God says I will make them turn their back. All of a sudden, they will just no longer pick interest in you. The Bible says you will serve God and he will make your enemies to be at peace with you. All your enemies will be at peace with you.

 

Solomon gave himself to God from the beginning of his kingship. And the Bible says he enjoyed peace. Throughout his reign. Solomon never lifted a single sword to fight. I'm not sure he was even trained in the art of war. But his father spent his entire life fighting. Serving the LORD God will bring about some of these things that we worry about. Serving the LORD God will bring about prosperity, will bring about blessing, will bring about long life, will bring about everything that you may be thinking about.

 

Hallelujah.
