A MESSAGE FROM OUR MINISTER – REV GILL DANIEL
On my dressing table I have a lot of money!
Dozens of bank notes, 5’s 10’s and 20’s, plus various coins that could be spent
on many treats such as clothes, books, yet another handbag, or yet another pair of shoes, or even more chocolate!
Wooh Hoo!
But! This wad of money has been sat there for months, untouched, unused, and redundant! What a waste of money! (to “coin” a phrase!)
But why?
The thing is, I could not spend it even if I wanted to! The bank notes in question are void in the UK. The money is my leftover Spanish currency, Euros, and being foreign currency in the UK it has no value, unless it is changed to the official currency of the UK, the pound, sterling.
Once we become a Christian, similarly we become citizens of a different Kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, and we start to use a different currency. The old way is void.
In fact, Jesus encourages us to not put our trust in riches at all Mk 10:24 but to put our hand in the hand of God. Our new currency in all our Christian transactions becomes one of love, prayer, compassion, generosity, goodness, faithfulness, patience, trust, and joy. (Gal 5:22) Our old currency of selfishness, sin shame and immorality is now foreign currency and void.
Is this the currency you are using too?
Be Blessed, Rev Gill x
