Enduring joy comes from the surpassing worth of pursuing Christ, by knowing Him despite the loss of all earthly gain, and pressing on towards His upward call.

Christ set the example of humility and serving, and was eventually exalted. Joy is made complete when we walk in the same way in our relationships - in unity, love and service - and we shine as light in the world.

Leveraging wealth for kingdom cause and impact

Is financial freedom the end goal of people? Jesus showed u that there is more to life than financial freedom.

Our relationship with money is not just an issue of following financial rules, it's about a relationship of trust with God.

The Lord promises to shake and dethrone nations and kingdoms and the strength of their armies in order to exalt His servant leaders as His chosen representatives of His kingdom.

The people of God have been defiled by their neglect of God's temple while being busy with building their own houses, resulting in disappointing crops and harvests, but the relaying of the temple's foundation will restore His blessing upon His people. Let us then revive our hope in the restoration of the fortunes of God's people as we prioritize the building of God's house.

The rebuilding of God's house is accomplished by God strengthening His people by His Spirit. Let God renew our strength in the task of rebuilding His house by revealing His plan to shake the nations so that the treasures held by these nations will be loosened for the glory of His name.

When God is pleased and glorified, we experience His presence, blessing and favor.
