As a matter of fact there is a GUARANTEE of 10,000% yield when we invest in the eternal. That’s right, TEN THOUSAND PERCENT!!! Jesus himself, backed by the infinite resources of The Bank of Heaven, said in Matthew 19:28,29, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Believer don’t be nervous about crashing your stock portfolio here on earth. Okay, maybe be a little bit nervous. But be assured you have another investment growing in heaven. If anything let this crash remind you of which investment matters most. 1 Peter 1:3-6 reinforces this important truth, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.”
If you are not yet a believer in Jesus may the downturn we are experiencing as a nation remind you that there is a glorious reality beyond this one that can be yours. Jesus died to make it yours. All you must do is trust in him to save you from your sins and you receive the free gift of eternal life. Then you can begin to build your heavenly investment portfolio by serving him with your life, faith and finances.
Now that’s a sure bet!
