You know there are times I try to fathom how my mind works especially considering the thoughts that go on through them. Things which you just seem to process without much effort. I really thank GOD that my mind is being renewed daily and that it produces thoughts which are edifying.
Three days ago while watching TV; I saw a bank commercial about how to live the perfect life as they said. It showed a family with a beautiful house, expensive car, kids in an expensive school and some other stuff. All they said you needed to get this was some sort of loan which they made look attractive that anybody would fall for it.
As soon as the ad was over my mind went to work as if of its own accord. I immediately wondered if people knew of the ‘BANK OF HEAVEN’. Now you’ve got to understand that at any time in my life up to that point this thought had never crossed my mind and I can tell you I have seen countless TV ads about banks and loans.
I began to wonder why people would fall to the schemes of these banks when there is a bank that gives free loans with no interest rates attached. A loan of ‘grace and mercy’ which is renewed everyday. A loan which seeks nothing in return except your heart.
I’m talking about a bank whose board of directors is GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Ghost. A bank that doesn’t need your investment to function. A bank with messengers (angels) who are at your disposal; bringing your answers to you. A bank that meets all both your physical as well as more importantly your spiritual needs. I’m talking of life, health, peace, joy, divine wisdom and understanding. Please if there’s any bank that offers all these I’d like to know.
The question then is why do people (including Christians) keep running helter-skelter looking for help from people who really don’t have their interests at heart but theirs when there’s a bank whose doors are open 24/7 (Sundays and public holidays included). A bank that experiences no power cuts or network failures.
Won’t you stop running and come today. This bank has got a vault with riches untold; a vault so immense the entire size of the earth pales in comparison to it.
Now there is only one entrance into this glorious bank and that is the man Jesus Christ. He’s the only way you can get access into the riches stored up in the bank. All you’ve got to do is believe in your heart that He’s the risen son of the most high GOD. Then make the confession with your mouth and you’ll be saved [Rom.10:9]. That wasn’t so difficult was it? I guess not.
For already existing Christians you’ve already got access. Maybe you don’t know how to gain access and that is why you go everywhere seeking for help. I’m not saying it’s wrong to go to these places but be reminded the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. It’s your Fathers’ desire to give you all His kingdom has to offer. The bible says in Heb.11:6b he that that cometh to GOD must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. You need to come to GOD in faith. You’ve got to believe that He’s able to do anything so long it’s in line with His will for your life and the only way to do this is to live a sin free life.
Make GOD your first love. Seek Him for who He is not for what you can get from Him. He has clearly stated that that all other things shall be added unto you once you make His kingdom your uttermost priority, [Luke 12:31].
Welcome to the BANK OF HEAVEN. . . . .

How come churches always need to be given money? For such a supposedly powerful god, that collection plate is always out, the collection box is by the door, the church roof restoration fund is always short, and then there's the coffee mornings and jumble sales that go on frighteningly often too...
Can you explain, by any chance?
