Of what value is your life to God? Is your life blessing and increasing the Kingdom of God? How valuable are you to Heaven? James asked, For what is your life? Then he answered, It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away (James 4:14). When you breathe out warm air on a cold day, you can see the vapor from it for a moment; and then it is gone.

When your life vanishes from Earth, what value will you have been to God while you were here? Will He say that you are worth the price His Son paid for you? God wants each one of us to realize how short our lives on Earth really are.

The Bible says, Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (I Corinthians 6:19,20). When you come to Jesus and receive salvation, you are no longer your own.

Child of God, you should be worth so much to the Lord and His Kingdom. He gave His only Son so you could be saved and receive eternal life. What are you doing for the Lord in return for such a great sacrifice and gift? Are you serving the Gospel and God’s divine love to people?

When Jesus walked on Earth, He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). If you don’t have Him in your life, you have no life as far as Heaven is concerned. You’re dead in your trespasses and sins and wandering out in the dark. You are of no value to God.

Live in the Image of God

God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Genesis 1:27). When God made Adam and Eve, they were perfect. They acted like God and talked like God; and when you looked at them, you saw God. When you looked in their eyes, you saw God’s love; but all of that was ruined when they sinned.

The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). God gave man the power to walk and talk and the power to think like God. Man was so valuable because he was made by the hand of God with great love.

If you don’t have Jesus in your heart today, you’re not living in the image of God. Jesus came to make it possible for you to have that image and live in God’s love, but it is up to you whether you want to do that or not.

When you have God’s image, you are to stand as spiritually tall as Jesus did when He walked on Earth. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). You can’t do that without having the image of God and walking in the steps of Jesus every day.

When Jesus walked on Earth as a man, He was very valuable to His Father. His cry was, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4). Jesus knew He was on a mission; and if you are a child of God, you too must know you are on a mission to get the Gospel to the world in this final hour. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14).

Man's Wealth or God's Wealth

What are you worth to Heaven in your prayer time? What are you worth to Heaven when it comes to embracing the Word and living in the truth? Jesus said, Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Do you really know the Lord and serve Him as He expects a son or daughter of His to do?

Jesus left us an example of what the Lord expects from us. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you (John 13:15). Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps (I Peter 2:21). Are you following that example?

People may brag about what they are worth here on Earth, but all of that can be wiped out in a moment with just one severe storm or financial crisis. Remember the rich man who said, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry (Luke 12:19). That man gave no thought to what God wanted him to do; so God’s message to him was, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided (Luke 12:20)?

When death strikes, a person is gone. Those who have no value to God will leave all their earthly goods and wealth behind and find themselves in hell. All God’s planning, all His care for mankind and all of the sacrifices He made so people can live forever and want for nothing will be of no help to the worthless. Those who are worth much to God will go to their mansion in Glory. Jesus said, In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you (John 14:2).

Moses Was Priceless to God

How much was that little baby named Moses worth when he was floating down the Nile River in an odd-looking, little ark that his mama and daddy had made? He was one of the babies Pharaoh was seeking to kill, and I’m sure he didn’t look like much; but he was very valuable to God.

It took God forty years to make Moses into the vessel He needed him to be. As Moses was being raised in Pharaoh’s house, it didn’t look like he was going to be worth anything to God; but God saw a worth in him that man didn’t see. One day, He said to Moses, Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. (Exodus 3:10).

Moses became priceless in the hands of God; and with the rod God had anointed, Moses actually became the hand of God. When Moses lifted that rod of truth, great miracles took place. It even separated the waters of the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk across on dry ground.

Today, God sees a worth in many of you that nobody else sees. Allow Him to keep working with you and don’t get discouraged. God wants to make you into a vessel filled with His power and glory because in this current world, God has to work through people.

See Your Life Through God

God is preparing His children to be used in this final hour; so look at your life as God does and not as the world does. You may not have a lot of money or houses and lands; but if you have Jesus, you have Heaven’s life and benefits, and those things will last for eternity.

The world may look at you and think you’re foolish, but you’re really living; and they don’t know it. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised (I Corinthians 4:10). You are worth so much more than those in the world are no matter what they think.

Stop thinking about money and possessions because those things don’t count with God. Jesus said, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth (Luke 12:15). Real life only comes through God.

Man was everything God wanted him to be in the Garden of Eden, but the devil robbed Him of that when Adam and Eve listened to the devil and sinned. Are you robbing God today? You can rob God by not tithing and giving to Him. You can rob Him by not giving enough time to Him or doing the work He calls on you for.

God invested His whole heart when He made a Calvary for you and me. He made it possible for us to be just like the first Adam and the first Eve and live in the second Eden. What are you giving Him in return? What is your life worth to Him?

Jesus said, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Those who are focused on money, fame and material things are being blinded by the devil to what real life is—the abundant Jesus life. He said, He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38). That living water bubbles up on the inside of you into everlasting life.

Are You a Valuable Child?

Your life on Earth is just like a vapor, a little puff of smoke that is here for a moment and then it’s gone. Only what you do for God will matter and be of any worth as the eternal ages roll. That is why you must place your life into the hands of Jesus that were nailed to the Cross. Without your hand in His, you will be dead in trespasses and sin; and you will be worthless to Him.

Whether you are a sinner or a saint, you need to ask yourself, “What is my life worth to God? Have I really been made new in Christ Jesus? Am I sharing the Gospel message, the love story of Jesus, with those who are lost in this dark, dark world of sin? What am I worth when the light of God needs to shine forth? Am I a reflector of His light in Glory?”

If your life were to end today, would the Lord miss you doing His work? Would He miss you serving Him to others? Would He have a problem filling your place? Jesus said, For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (Mark 8:36)?

Only what you do for God counts. In the end, everything else will be burned up and cast forth as chaff in the wind. Every man's work shall be made manifest…the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire (I Corinthians 3:13-15).

Live Life God’s Way

Life is so uncertain without the Lord; but as a child of God, you have nothing to worry about. When you allow the Lord to be in charge of your life, it will never end. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth forever (I Peter 1:24,25). This life is just a dressing room for your eternity to come. What eternity are you preparing for? What eternity are you helping others prepare for?

The Bible says, Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth (Proverbs 27:1). Yes, you need to make plans and work for a living, but you must always do those things with an attitude of “if it is God’s will.” You must put God first in all your plans, and you must always be willing to answer a call from Him. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil (James 4:15,16). That is what God thinks about man’s plans, so it is worthless to glory in yourself or in the things you are doing. All glory must go to God.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away (Psalm 144:4). No one will stay on this Earth forever. Every person’s days will come to an end, either in death or when the Rapture takes place; but don’t walk around thinking about death. Think about living forever in Glory with the Lord. Paul said, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20).

Most people wake up each day thinking they are in charge of their life and that things will continue on just as they are. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling places to all generations…Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish (Psalm 49:11,12). It is dangerous to live without God.

Many never really consider the possibility that today could be the day their vapor vanishes away. That would be a fearful thought to many, but children of God don’t have to be afraid. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality (I Corinthians 15:51-53).

Belshazzar’s Life Cut Off

King Belshazzar lived his life without giving any thought to God. One day, he was throwing a wild party and dishonoring God in every way he could. Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone (Daniel 5:1-4).

Then suddenly, Belshazzar received a sobering message from God. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote (Daniel 5:5). In his drunken condition, Belshazzar’s knees began to smite one against the other. Neither he nor any of his wise men or soothsayers knew what was happening, and they could not read the handwriting on the wall.

Belshazzar sent for Daniel, a prophet of God, and he offered to make him the third ruler in the kingdom if he would interpret the handwriting on the wall; but Daniel said, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation (Daniel 5:17). You can’t buy the things of God.

Daniel then gave the interpretation: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it…Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting…Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (Daniel 5:26-28). Belshazzar had no thought of dying, but he had blasphemed against God; and that night, Belshazzar died without God, and he is still in hell today.

Some Christians are afraid of death, but that should not be. If you are really born new through the blood of Jesus, you have eternal life; so you have nothing to fear or worry about. Sinners like Belshazzar are the ones who should be afraid, but most of them are not. They think they are in control of their lives, and they can do whatever they want to; but if they were to suddenly die, they would be lost forever.

Life Is Very Short

Your prayer should be as the Psalmist’s prayer when he said, LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am (Psalm 39:4). Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man [without God] at his best state is altogether vanity (Psalm 39:5).

Life is so short; and the entertainments, wealth and possessions of this world are just temporary. That’s why Jesus said, Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:19-21).

The life you are investing in so much today will be gone before you know it, so it is important that you invest in things that have eternal value. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2). That is why Jesus brought eternal life to all who will accept it, and that life begins when our brief lives on Earth end.

The average lifespan of a person today is between seventy and eighty years, so consider the shortness of life and invest in the things of eternity. The days of our years are threescore years and ten [seventy years]; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years [eighty years], yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days [know they are limited], that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:10,12).

Seek God’s Ways

When you truly understand that your life is a vapor, you know that such a vapor can disappear at any time. Life on Earth is merely a brief preparation for the new life to come, so seek God’s wisdom for how He wants you to live it; and let His will be done. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55:6).

Anyone who wants to find the Lord can find Him now, but He won’t always be near. That is why you must sow to the Spirit and not to the flesh. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:7,8). You must spend the time you have left on this Earth walking in godly fear and holy reverence. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil (Proverbs 3:7).

Help Share the Gospel

God wants to use each one of His children in unbelievable ways. This is the end-time hour; and He needs you to be everything He has planned for you to be, not what you have planned. Souls are God’s greatest interest, and it is the desire of His heart to see them brought in.

The Bible tells us, This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). It has to be taught, preached and confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. Are you helping to do that? Are you valuable to the Kingdom and a blessing to others?

Instead of getting closer to God, many people and even so-called Christians are getting farther and farther away from the deepness of God. That puts an even greater responsibility on those of us who are living for Him, and we can’t fail Him now. The time is too short.

Jesus told the disciples, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). The Lord is giving us all the power we need to do His work just as He did those Early Church disciples. Jesus also said, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest (Luke 10:2). Will you be one of the few? Will you be valuable to Him?

I say again that we have just a short time left, so you must use every minute wisely. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15,16).

Don’t focus on the sacrifices, the labors or the persecutions. Focus on getting the harvest in. Let your sacrifices be filled with love for your Lord. Let the persecutions give you more strength without any worry or fear. God considers our persecutions to be just light afflictions. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (II Corinthians 4:17,18).

Trials and persecutions will try your faith; but you can say as Paul did, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong (II Corinthians 12:10).

Become Valuable to God

If you have concluded today that your life isn’t worth much or anything at all to God, you can change that by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart or renewing your covenant with Him. He will give you a life that can’t be bought with money, so come to Jesus and decide you will be valuable to God.

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (James 5:8). Jesus will come again, and He is coming for those who are watching for Him. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching (Luke 12:37). You must be valuable to the Kingdom in the short time you have left, and you must be watching for Jesus’ return.

Say this prayer with me and mean it from your heart: Oh, God, save my soul. I am walking in the night, but I am coming to the light. I’m so sorry I sinned against you, but I am coming home to serve you for the rest of my life. I want real life, and I know I can have it only through the life-giver, Jesus Christ. I put my faith in the blood of Jesus that was spilled on Calvary. I believe the power in that divine blood will wash away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in! Amen.

If you meant that prayer, Jesus has come and given you eternal life for your soul that was dead. He brought that life so every soul could be resurrected into the newness of Him. Now, you must serve Him with your whole heart every day and go on to receive the Holy Ghost baptism. You will not go with Jesus on Rapture Day without having the Holy Spirit living within you. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own (I Corinthians 6:19)?

If you want all God has for you spiritually, physically and financially, you must receive the Holy Ghost. He will be your comforter, teacher and guide on this Earth; and He will guide you to Rapture ground.

Get Ready for a Miracle

Now that you are a child of God, you are God’s property; and the devil has no right to put his hand on God’s property. If you are sick and afflicted today, get ready to be healed. The Lord wants every person to be well. As a child of God, you are valuable to Him; and He needs you to help bring in this last harvest of souls. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2). Let the power in the divine blood make you whole. God can deliver you from anything, but you have to serve Him in holiness and righteousness for the rest of your life.

Raise your hands as a point of contact and believe God for you and your loved ones to be healed. Lord, I bring these people before you today. I come in the name of your Son, Jesus, and with His precious blood. Heal those with cancer, heart problems, diabetes, paralysis and any other afflictions they may have just as you have done again and again through this Jesus ministry. You can create and re-create. Nothing is too hard for you. Heal! Heal! Make these people whole today in the all-powerful name of your precious Son.

Now, give the Lord all the praise, the honor and the glory as you watch yourself and your loved ones get well. Jesus is the Healer; and He said, Only believe (Mark 5:36). Write, email or post a message to one of our social media pages to let us know what happened to you today. We will rejoice with you. God bless you today.

Thus Saith the Lord

I have gathered you together. I have given my servant my Word for you. I want to use you in an unbelievable way. The harvest must be brought in, and I have worked and worked for you and with you. And now I call to you to yield to my Spirit, to my love and to my greatness. I call to you to be everything I have planned for you to be. Do not fail me in this hour. If you fail, souls will die and go to hell. I love you with an unending love, and I will supply everything daily that you need. I will give you power over the enemy at all times. I will give you faith over all fear. I will give you victory and deliverance. Do not be afraid; just yield to my Spirit and be obedient and humble in my sight. Be what I want you to be, and I will use you like I desire to use you, saith the Lord.
