God Directs Your Life
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 (NIV)
Can I have a part in finishing God’s work even if I pass to my rest before the “Second Coming”?
ANSWER: Yes, by preparing a Will (Estate Planning). Ellen white, an authoritative source for Seventh-day Adventists stated, “You may now, while alive, make diligent faithful work, that after your death gifts and offerings may come into the treasury of the cause of God.” The Gospel Herald, December 4, 1901
Will making a Will hasten my demise?
Absolutely not! In fact, making a will can give peace of mind that promotes your well being. “Death will not come one day sooner, brethren, because you have made your will.” Counsels on Stewardship, p. 328.
What should a Christian consider in his/her will?
In planning for disposition of assets, Christians should have concern for their dependent family and loved ones, as well as for God’s work and those less fortunate.
