Today, from Luke 16:16, we reflect on how we have to be ‘forceful’ - that is radically repentant -  to enter the Kingdom of God. 

Nev preaches from Luke 16 and challenges us to enter whole-heartedly into God's Kingdom and obey His word in all areas, including in our relationships and in how we use our money. 

Those who keep God as their Master will keep money as their servant.

Our use of money is a measure of our hearts and our ability to handle greater gifts and influence in The Kingdom.

We are not to be so focussed on doing the big things that we fail to be trustworthy in and with the little and so miss this vital law of Kingdom success.

We often say that we want to serve God with all our lives and hearts, but are we prepared to serve Him with our wealth as He wants us to?

The worst people can be our best teachers because the worst people are often more skilful and focussed on getting what they want than are God’s children and this should not be!
