As I read Numbers 28-29, which is about the festival the Lord commanded the Israelite to perform throughout the years.
The purpose is simple - give back to the Lord what He has blessed you. Remember the Lord who provides - because of these days of festival, do no ordinary works.
The intend is to put the trust in the Lord our God the provider - that you will know that He will provides even on the days the work stop. Give the best - without blemish. Not the remainders but the first fruit - to acknowledge that it is the Lord who bless us with the very bless.
The Lord has bless me with a good job. With time to toil hard and yet time to relax and do my own things. Flexible as well and not desk bound.
Of course as a job - you stop - income stop. But the Lord has bless me with a tenure and no longer a regular 2 years contract. I am going now to build the passive income - income which continues to flow in without physical toil and labor.
Therefore I submit these plans to God, especially in the area of Forex trading. It is not going to be passive because I still have to trade. But I remember Isaiah Initiative. I pray for the day that the company will be revive and truly be passive. The principle should be that of Numbers - give back to the Lord and trust in the Lord for His provision. I pray for the Lord to provide like-minded traders who trust in the Lord that we can trust to put the trades in his / her hands.
Of course, besides passive income - the income that the Lord will provides even when we are sleeping or when we are not working. It is the giving of first fruit. This include time.
The current job allows me to spend more time in the word, worship and prayers. Then let it be so, that I be able to execute and give the Lord the time. I submit the plan to spend 1 day every 3 months and 3 days every year to seek the Lord, pray for the family and those the Lord put in my heart, take stock and reflect on my walk with God.
Revelation now enters a phase with a setting for the return of the King. The rise of Satan, the beast, and all the chaos, disasters on earth as the war between Christ and Satan is fought from heaven to earth. The call is for us to know the sure that judgement will come - evil will not prevail. Yet the people will not repent. Am I then a soldier of Christ - marked and sealed in Christ and be prepared for the battle.
The world is a battleground and not a playground. I pray for a wake up, a shake up. I pray against being too comfortable with gaining the things of the world - but the Lord will provides. Will I put this trust that the Lord will provides?
Lastly, I pray for me as a leader - to recognize the ongoing battle but the Lord will wins. I pray and be able to guard against Satan plans to destroy, to persecute , to afflict and to seduce. Treat no sins as ok and casual. I pray that I will be able, first for myself, then for my family, to know that the material things are of this world, but the Lord will bless. Therefore use what is of the world to use against the world for the extension of His kingdom. Amen.
