Economy is tough: buy Gold !

 Recent economic turmoil in the stock market, caused by the tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump, has led investors to flee volatile stocks in favor of purchasing gold. Gold is considered a safer investment, and its price has increased significantly.

If you know anything about economics or finance, you’ll understand that gold is a precious asset—and those who possess it in abundance are truly wealthy. If you want to grow your wealth and increase your riches, invest in gold.

How is gold processed?

Here are a few steps.

1. Extraction from ore 

2.Refining to remove impurities

3. Melting and casting for various applications.


We are living in a time of spiritual poverty and  Jesus is telling us to buy gold from Him.

Gold tried in the fire 🔥. ( Revelation 3: 18)

Jesus said if you want to be rich, invest in gold tried in the fire .


How do I know if I am are poor spiritually?

I am (a)

1. Lover of self 

2.covetous, boasters,proud.

3. Disobedient to parents 

4. Unthankful, unholy 

5.Truce breaker , false accuser,  traitor 

6. Without love, lover of money, brutal

7. Without self control, rash

8. Love pleasure rather than love God.

(2 Timothy 3:1- 5 )

Jesus in revelation 3:17 said that we are " wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.

I counsel you to buy gold tried in the fire 🔥."

Question: what is gold tried in the fire ?


1 Peter 1:7, " that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be discovered to result in praise and glory and honor honor  in the revelation of Jesus Christ. 


Gold tried in the fire 🔥 are the problems and difficulties gold will allow to come to my life in order to test my faith.


If you want to be rich in the eyes of God, you must buy gold tried in the fire 🔥.


In a way, we must expect problems and difficulties to come to our lives and instead of trying to pray the problems away, pray God for the strength to endure.


One of God's favorite tool to refine us is, ( drum roll ) relationships.


Marriage is a great tool used by God to bring us from spiritual poverty to wealth.

Marriage is full of trials and the trials are meant to refine us.


Relationships is a problem for us spiritual poor people. 

Relationships require loving others and the Bible says " we are lovers of ourselves. 

Love (is )

1. Patient, kind,

2.Not envious, not boastful 

3.Not proud, not self seeking 

4  Not easily angered, keep no records of wrong 

6.Always protect, trusts, hopes, persevere .


But we are self absorbed, only care about how we feel. So Jesus says," buy of me gold tried in the fire 🔥. God will allpw difficult people in our lives, so we can see our spiritual poverty .


Marriage : a gold refining tool.


If I was to ask a young single/ courting person, why do you want to get married?

They will say things like ," companionship, someone to love me, someone to share with, be intimate with etc.." Good responses, but they will be shocked when they enter into the marriage and starts to experience the fiery trials 🔥 of being in close relationship with someone who is as self centered as they are .


Marriage is designed to show us our spiritual poverty, our lack of love, our self absorption.

Marriage is difficult because I am not allowing the Lord to transform me.


Gold tried in the fire of marriage 🔥.

1.Husband love your wife like Christ love the church.

No easy task. How can i love a wife who makes me unhappy? 

How can I love a wife who is not submissive?

How can I love a wife who is disrespectful?


Buy of Jesus gold tried in the fire.

Then I remember, " love is patient, love suffers long, love always perseveres, love is kind."

Then in my trial i will pray Lord, help me to be patient, kind, persevere, suffer long with my wife. " Gold tried in the fire."


Gold tried in the fire of marriage 🔥

2. Wife submit to your husband. 

No easy task.

How can I submit to a husband who doesn't love me.

A husband who is bitter against me. A husband who doesn't take me out on dates etc..How can I submit to a husband who says mean things to me ?

Then I remember,  " love is patient, kind, not easily provoked, suffers long, persevere, keep no records of wrongs."


Then I say ,"Lord give me gold tried in the fir, help me to submit to my husband despite who he is and the fire he is putting me through so that I may be rich in faith."

We are poor, wretched, miserable, naked and blind. We are selfish, lovers of self, impatient with others.
Jesus is counseling us to buy of Him gold tried in the fire 🔥.
The trials of life, sickness, financial, relational are simply tools in the hands of God to refine our characters. 
A difficult marriage is simply a refining tool to refine our characters. 
Jesus wants to make us like Him, loving, patient, tender , kind , forgiving  and the trials of life are the means by which we become like Him.

Those in difficult marriages,  remember marriage is a tool to refine your character.
The difficulties of marriage are designed to make me
1. Patient
2.Kind 
3. Not self seeking 
4. Not proud
5.Not easily angered 
6. Keeo no records of wrongs 
7.Not delight in evil 
8.Always protext, trust, hope, persevere. 

If we want to be rich in character, rich in faith, we must embrace the trials of life.
When trials come, let us not despair, but let us grab the hands of Jesus and say Lord, " sell me gold tried in the fire 🔥, use this trial to purify my character and develop in me all your beauty .

Spiritual poverty is to be selfish, but spiritual riches is to be a loving and lovable Christian. 

Buy, buy, buy of Jesus, " gold tried in the fire."

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 Why is my life so hard ? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing but there's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind ? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us life began good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
