- Matthew 19:27-29 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
When you hear [the word] ‘invest,’ many of you would probably think of stocks or money. But those of you who have wisdom and high-level spiritual thoughts will think, ‘It is about investing in spiritual things!’ and you will think of things pertaining to the [spirit].
While praying at predawn, I pleaded earnestly with God and the Holy Son Lord. I asked, “What should these young people who have no money and own nothing do in order to have hope and gain the things they need?” The the Holy Son Lord said, “Human beings’ ‘body and heart’ are money, and ‘time’ is money. Invest your body, heart, and time in Heaven.” Right now, all of you are investing the money called ‘the body, heart, and time’ in listening to the Word. This investment has 100% success rate. You are investing in God, but you are [actually] investing for yourself. Therefore, even if you keep investing, you will never incur loss. However, you must invest all your body, heart, and time out of a sincere heart. If you do, God who is just and fair will absolutely give you the reward for your investment.
God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son Lord all keep investing in us. Therefore, we also must not let the Holy Trinity’s investment end in vain. The Holy Son invests in us, and we invest in the Holy Son–it is ‘an investment out of mutual trust.’ If even just one party does not invest properly, both parties will incur loss.
If you invest your life in God and the Holy Son, then you will not be disappointed but you will harvest the fruit of your investment. It is to invest in listening to the Word. It is to invest in praying starting from toddler’s steps. Also, it is to invest in loving God and the Holy Son. Plus, it is to invest in faith. Furthermore, it is to invest in putting the Word into action. If you make these investments, something will be created out of nothing.
When it comes to [investing in] the Holy Son Lord, you can invest however much you want even with a bare body and empty hands. Still, you will gain limitlessly and become successful. Do not say, “I don’t have money and I don’t own anything either.
All I have is my body. What do I do?” Your body, heart, and time are money, so I hope that you will invest them. If you make an investment in the world, you will gain things of the world, but it will be too little. If you invest in God, you will gain a hundred times or a thousand times more at least. If you consider the eternal things, you will actually gain even 10,000 times more.
The Holy Son said, “The physical investment of the world is an investment for a brief moment. To make it simple to understand, it is a world that all ends within the time the Earth revolves 90 times around the sun. It is a short term investment of human life that decays, dissolves, and ends in vanity. [All of] you, make eternal investments. Investment in the world is ‘investment of money and materials,’ but the eternal investment is ‘mental investment.’ Create something out of nothing! The heart is nothing; gains are something. It is investment of faith! It is investment of hope! It is investment of learning the Word and prayer by sincerely pleading with Me. Even during the hours you use to sustain your physical life, if your heart and thoughts are tuned toward God, the Holy Son who saves you, even those hours become a time that is invested in the eternal things.
This does not even cost you any money. It is the investment of the heart and the investment of thoughts. Go ahead and try it. See if [God] will give you a reward for the investment or not. Also, it is the investment in loving Me, the Holy Son. Always try to make an ‘investment of thoughts’ —thinking of Me, the Holy Son, as the first and highest priority, attending Me, honoring Me, and living united with Me. No need to say a lot. It is about taking action! Everyone, do not be idle but invest [your] life diligently for the sake of the eternal things and your body. The hours of [your] youth are flowing down moment to moment like water. You and I, it is to invest in each other. You will prosper and things will go well with you.”
You should invest your ‘youth’ in Heaven. Once you have [begun] investing, you should go to the end without giving up. Certain things you invested will return as a gain on the same day, some will become a gain a week later, some a month later, some a year later, some 3 years and 6 months later, and some will produce profit ten or twenty years later.
For big things, [the Lord] gives it to you after you have grown big so that you will mature and control it. Because your time has not come, you cannot use it even if He gives it to you immediately. Hence, He gives it to you when the time comes and you have matured.
Since it is you that have made the investment, the Lord will absolutely not give it to anyone else. However, if you leave the arms of God after having made an investment, He does not give you the reward while in the world. If you do not return to God, the gain goes to someone else who has set the condition.
For what you have invested in Heaven, you will gain [its profit] while in the world as each day’s merit goes to Heaven and becomes a part of a building or house of your spirit. If you ask to see it, God and the Holy Son show it to you without disguising it in some cases. Or if you ask those who travel to the spiritual world, the Holy Son Lord may show it [to you] through them. When it comes to investing in stocks or in multi-level marketing, the profit goes to the strong while the weak lose everything. Therefore, the weak suffer from failures and lament. Investing in lottery is the same. No matter how much you try, it all goes to someone else. [But] God’s lottery can be won by anybody 100%. Just as you would save money in a bank and then withdraw it, anybody can win the lottery of God and acquire 10 times or 100 times according to their deeds.
If you invest in God and the Holy Son, you will have gains from that throughout your life, and your spirits will live enjoying forever in Heaven also. What you will enjoy is tremendous. I encourage you to live investing in Heaven making it your great hope.
