Topic: Kingdom Assets, Kingdom Liability
Text: Mark 15:21, Jonah 1:7-10,11-15

In life, there are things we call assets and liabilities. In the kingdom this principle is evident.

Asset in business is anything that adds value to a business while liabilities that take value from you. In lame man terms, asset adds money to you while liability takes money from you.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

What is an asset to someone may be a liability to others. Whatever adds value to you can be termed an asset while what takes away from you is a liability.

You need to constantly review your life. Are you an asset to yourself, your family, or the people around you or are you a liability?

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

May you have an encounter with Jesus. In the text we read, Simon was an asset to the kingdom while Jonah wasn't. Even though he was a prophet he was a liability at a time.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

Jonah was a liability. You are the one that can tell yourself if you're an asset or a liability.

It is the minus in your life that you need to develop. Sometimes we focus on the plus in people's lives and remain oblivious of the minus. The net worth of a person is asset minus liabilities.

Your energy, time, and resources can be an asset or liability. How you use it speaks volumes of who you are what you gain in return. It s the things you do for the kingdom that gives value.

Characteristics of Liabilities and Assets

1. Liabilities complain: If you keep complaining about people around you, chances are you are the problem not them. People tend to avoid you when you keep complaining.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

A bad workman complains about his tools. Quit complaining about the problems and think of solutions.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

2. Liabilities are always in need of attention and are petite. Hebrew 5:`12-14. It is expected that you grow in Christ and in the knowledge. If you remain in one spot you become a liability.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

You are a liability when things easily beset you and you hold on to grudges. You need to grow and build a shield around you.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

3. Liabilities add no value only troubles. They spend their time tearing things down. Don't be such one who brings discourse.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

4. People are happy when liabilities leave. People heave a sign of joy when liability is no longer in your midst.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

5. Liability can lead to poverty. Living a lifestyle of liability can result in you in poverty. Never let the praises of men cause you to lose your assets. They can seem like enjoyment but the end is disastrous.

Characteristics of ASSETS

1. They don't complain but they fix things. Whenever they get into any place they figure out how they can be a blessing in such a place. Assets do not complain.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

2. Assets cover the deficiencies of the liabilities. You never know the mistakes of liability until the asset is missing. You must be an encourager.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

3. Assets are the future wealth. Sometimes the assets don't make noise. Spend time identifying assets and groom them. Don't just see people as statics, focus on refining men.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

4. Righteousness is an asset. This is what will take you to the top and sustain you. Money and earthly things are not the true assets, working with God is more valuable than them.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

Jesus is our security. You must come to the point where you recognize that is God that exalts man. Sin is a liability. Avoid it and let the word of God be your guiding light.

#ChurchGRA #PalmSunday #Restoration #GRAService

Commit to righteousness and ask God to strengthen you. May you be an asset to the kingdom and never a liability to the body of Christ and the world.

Be an asset.
