TOPIC: VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE (1 TIM. 6:6-9)

Be contented and satisfied with what you have at present.  Value it less it be taken away from you.   Seek the Lord while He may yet be found, call upon His name while He is near.  Value that time for it may be taken from you.  Show gratitude with what you have.  Appreciate what is done for you and more will come.  Do not despise the days of small things.  Value your wife, husband, teacher, student, pastor, member, preacher, mother, father, brother, sister, aunty, uncle etc.  if you do not love what you see already how can you love what you have not seen.  Be contented with people and situation.  Don’t feel frustrated.


If you reject what you have there is no other way out but certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation – Heb. 10:26-31.  There are some people that despise everything called God.  In such cases, there is no other way for salvation.  Just as there is no other way than Jesus.  Have faith in God, this life, people and in the life to come.  Don’t loose hope in life–Heb.11:6, 1-2.  Always believe that it is well. Dwell on the good side of things and people and not weakness.  Try to improve on the weakness if you can.

If you don’t cherish what you have, you will fear and despair – Psalm 37:1.  Don’t look at what others have but look at what you have, if you don’t love what you have you will not love what others have. If you are not happy with little, you will not be happy with much.  If you are not faithful with little you will not be faithful with much.  Care for what you have already.  Care for your life now, do not despise this life for it will lead to suicide.  Value it.  Care for the people you see.  Treat them well, for they are near you for you too care for.  When they disappear from your presence how you can then care for them? 

By then your prayer for them will be useless.  Your care for them will be useless and you will have nothing to reap from them.  God will ask you to give account of what you did for them when you saw them.  Whether they are good or bad, value them.  Do all you can to make them better and good.  If you reject others, others will surely reject you.  If you don’t value and respect others, others will not value and respect you.   Life is sowing and reaping.  Life is action and reaction.  Be first to do goods and value people.  See what you can do to relief people’s suffering and sorrow.  Peace be with you.
