One of the first things you have to learn as a beginner investor is to pay yourself first. Now, many people would tell you to pay yourself 10%, which isn’t bad advice at all. But Solomon Ali says you should do 30%. That is just one of the spins that he adds to what is already a sound piece of advice. In this episode, Solomon plays a video about investing for beginners and throws in his opinions along the way. What Solomon has to say about this is born out of years of investing experience, including a particularly painful and humiliating bout of failure. But you don’t have to suffer the same debilitating experience to learn how to invest wisely and create financial freedom and security for yourself. It’s simply a matter of finding the people who have done these things and listening to what they have to say. Start here!

Hebrews 11:4 ESV 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks A QUIET WORSHIPER OF GOD. Abel, as a simple and quiet shepherd, had continually offered a pleasing sacrifice from the firstborn of his flock. God's favor was evident that it had caused envy of his brother Cain, whose sacrifice wasn't accepted by God. Thus, the unimaginable happened for he murdered his brother. What Solomon had said is true indeed, that is, “Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? Although his life was cut short, Abel is listed as the first being commended of his faith. Other than being depicted as one who has offered a better sacrifice than Cain, we don't have much information about him. Like Abel, most of us are living as an ordinary believer quietly doing our routines or chores f life. But, this doesn't mean that we are of lesser importance for just ‘tending our sheep', that is having a lowly job. By God's grace, let us strive to emulate Abel. What are the lessons we can learn from his simple faith. Firstly, it's being faithful in little things. Like him, we might be doing things before people. What is special in washing clothes or cleaning the house? Yet, Jesus has said, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” [Luke 16:10]. “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” [1Cor 10:31] Thus, there is no trivial things before God if we do it faithfully for His glory. And secondly, it's being faithful to do the right things. Perhaps, Cain was sincere but it wasn't right. There is no remission or forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. [Heb 9:22] Our simple obedience to His will matters to God. And, He disdains any sacrifice no matter how grand like King Saul's sparing the fatted lambs for sacrifice when he was supposed to kill everything. Thirdly, let's be faithful by being consistent. Without fanfare, Abel had quietly tended his flock daily. As the Lord blesses us, let us not fail to offer our offering of praise and thanksgiving unto Him. Thus, today let us be reminded. That, there is no ordinary life before God if the little but right things we do are done faithfully and consistently for His glory. ---------------------- Visit our website and FOLLOW Gospel Light Christian Church Filipino on YouTube and Facebook.

August 19, 2018 What’s Ya Need? 1 Kings 3:5 Synopsis: Have you ever been in one of those situations where you were caught not knowing what to ask for? Maybe it happened when you were getting ready to order something at a new restaurant or searching for something online. There are times when you really do have to be careful about what you ask for because you might get it. That is not always a good thing. Solomon had what might be classified as a very enchanting “dream” one night (1 Kings 3:3-14). He dreamed that the Lord told him to ask for anything he wanted. WOW! You would like to have had that dream? What would you have asked for? More wishes? What Solomon asked for was not so much a wish for what he wanted as much as it was a prayer for what he needed in order to do what God had positioned him to do. Believers today need to learn the lesson of Solomon and ask God for wisdom (James 1:2-8) to make the right decisions in their lives (Ephesians 5:15-20). Did you say you had more experience in doing the “don’t” than in doing the “dos?” God has a cure for that if you will trust Him (Psalm 111:10). Text: 1 Kings 3:3-14, NIV; James 1:2-8; Ephesians 5:15-20, NLT Ephesians 5:15-20, NLT; Psalm 111:10, NLT Scripture Reading: Psalm 111:1-4

Key Takeaways: [5:07] What Solomon is warning us about[7:40] Thoughts on congestion pricing and how what Solomon says we should use our eyes can solve problems like that[12:05] The Rabbi's take on Hillary Clinton's Presidential run and what it means that the scandals she's involved in don't seem to mean anythingWebsites Mentioned: www.yonasongoldson.com

Solomon was not just a smart man he was a wise man. Not only is he wise and blessed with this gift, he apparently has anything anyone could ever want. He is the most unhappy person even though he has everything a man could want. Your born, you grow, you decay, you die. How can a man who has that kind of resource at his fingertips still complain? This tells us that having it all doesn't mean anything, having nothing doesn't mean anything. Smart people can still be griping people, and wise people don't always make good decisions. He is worn out by life, and when he looks around at nature it is reminding Solomon there is just a cycle of life. The trees grow and die, we grow and we die, water runs into the sea and yet the sea is not full. Life is just a cycle. What Solomon said is partially true, the outline of life is all the same, we are born, we grow, we decay and we die. But the secret in life is not in the outline of life, but it is in the details of life that determines whether it's going to be a good day or a bad day. No one can mess this the details in your life but YOU. I am what I am because I want to be what I am. Solomon as smart as he was, got hung up on the outline, and didn't think about changing the details. The outline is set, but the details are the key to our life. Solomon's biggest problem was when he started living for himself. He said "I" 43 times in the first 2 chapters and only referenced God 4 times. Life had become about nothing other than himself. When I make life about me, I not only make myself miserable, I make everyone around me miserable. We want to know what's wrong in our lives, it's because we talk about all that is wrong in our lives and not the things that are right. The first problems was it was all about him, the second problem was that he began to compare. The quickest way to wreck your life is to begin comparing. In the entire book of Ecclesiastes, you will not find the words, thanks, thankfulness, and happy. Joy was only mentioned 4 times. Even is Solomon's griping he said something that is true and positive. There are 3 keys that are elements to a good happy life. 1. You have to learn to be a receiver in life. Everyone knows how to take, not everyone knows how to receive 2. Greater receivers must be generous givers. What the rivers bring in, it returns to the clouds to produce rain. Life is not lost when it is given away. 3. In order for all of the above to happen, the receiving and the giving, you have to stay open to the influence of the sun. The only kind of life that is ever going to be blessed it the one who is open to the influence of God. It teaches us to give and receive. My giving and my life becomes abundantly blessed when I learn to live under the son of all suns. Had it been turned around where he mention God 44 times and himself 4 times it would have been a different book. But it was not that way. There is going to be days where you have to fight to get under the sunlight. But if you will there is something that happens when your are under the Son.

Solomon, the wisest man in history, had a lot to say on the subject of time. In fact, he wrote an entire book on the subject. What Solomon has to share might surprise you. In the fifth week of Time of Your Life, Ryan walks us through Solomon's profound, life-changing words.Support the show (http://www.wearesoutheast.org/give)

Speaker: Norm Funk 11/16/08 Text: Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 Summary:Our world is loud and busy, we run and chase and go hard, all the time. And this pace of life and activity infiltrates our walk with Jesus. We throw up a couple of songs on a Sunday, say a couple of quick prayers, throw something into the jar and then go and get busy again. Is that what Jesus would have for us? Is that what He wants from us? What Solomon lays out for us in this passage is that many times what God simply wants from us to stop, get quiet and listen and what He offers in return is peace.
