The Lost Coin - The Kingdom Key of Lost and Found Luke 15:8-10

The Lost Coin
The Kingdom Key of Lost & Found

READ | Luke 15:8-10

In the Parable of the Lost Coin, the woman has nine coins, and she is trying to find the last one. Historians have said that it was essential that she found the tenth coin because it was a part of the dowry that her fiancée gave her as a promise of marriage. Her ability to keep up with the coins was also an indication to her espoused husband of her ability to manage the house and the children. If she could not keep up with ten coins, how could she be an effective wife and mother?

The Kingdom Key of Lost and Found focuses on empowerment because no one can help her find the coin. She must find it for herself. The lost coin is in her house and when she sweeps her house clean, she finds it and has a party with her friends (bridesmaids) to celebrate the discovery. No one can clean the house of our consciousness. We must do it for ourselves.

Whatever we need (love, joy, peace, health, prosperity, etc.) is inside of us. God has given us everything that we need in our own house (II Peter 1:3-4). No one can find it for us. We must find it within ourselves for ourselves. We can clean our hearts and search ourselves until we find it (John 15:3). Then, people can rejoice with us that we found what was there all the time inside of us (Romans 12:15).

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
