ETERNAL HERITAGE (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Investing back to the garden
a) As the Lord prospers some of us, we can invest in a piece of land where we can develop it to become productive, creative, beautiful, healthy and having the freedom to live according to God's principles.
b) As the end times approaches (we don't know exactly when Christ will return but we must be like the wise virgins) the scripture warns of a time when the anti-Christ will cause all people to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead and that no man might buy or sell, unless they have the mark of the beast.
i) 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18 NIV)
c) As such it is wise for us to be able to live as independent of the worldly system as possible; this is not to be done out of fear but out of a desire to be free to obey God's word. Even if such anti-Christ and the enforcement of this rule does not come in our days, we benefit in the following ways:
i) Organizing to plant our own organic fruits, nuts and vegetable etc., thus providing our own food supply and promoting healthy living.
ii) With our independent water supply, electric supply, sewage disposal etc., we will not be affected by power cuts, water rationing etc.
iii) Our children can home school and be taught godly principles and also be trained to produce their own food supply. A good environment for children to grow up and develop godly characters.
iv) We can bring back to the home all its original God given functions: workshop center, education center, hospitality center, health center and business and craft center etc.
v) In times of needs, we can become a place of refuge for many other Christians.
vi) It can be a retreat center and a place for our children, our grandchildren and great grandchildren to gather for regular reunion and worship.
2. Prayer focus
a) Pray that we are prepared to build our homes according to the Word of God and ensure that our future generations are safeguarded.
