Here is an illustration of the collaboration within the mystery of iniquity. Take for instance the sin of anger. More often than not, the other side of it will be hatred.
Investing in heaven frees us from distractions of this world. What we do for the kingdom’s sake are the only enduring investments.
Faith is God responding to us based on what He had promised; it is never an arm-twisting device. When you come to demand what God has already purposed, nothing shall be impossible.
One thing to add from the example of Nehemiah is that it is not a crime to ask God for reward. On no occasion was Nehemiah reprimanded for asking God to remember him.

If we won’t deny our children of what they need and we can afford, we should be assured that God will not withhold anything good from us.
Rehoboam’s attitude to the people of Israel points to how indiscretion in speech can lead to a ruin. After Solomon’s death, the people came to make a deal with him.
