We spend our whole lives building things - careers, homes, savings. But here's the promise: there's one investment that lasts forever, and you can start making it today.

1 Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you."

Not your pension. Not your savings. The person you're becoming. That's the investment that lasts forever.

This is Day 6 of our 7-day series on Money, Faith, and Discipleship. Today we're bringing everything into focus: what actually lasts when everything else has an expiry date.

📖 *SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:*
- 1 Timothy 6:12 (NLT)
- James 2:15-17 (NLT)
- 1 Timothy 6:6 (NLT)
- 1 Timothy 6:19 (NLT)

⏱️ *CHAPTERS:*
0:00 Introduction - The Investment That Lasts Forever
0:40 What Actually Lasts?
0:46 James 2 - Faith Without Action
1:27 The Practical Challenge
1:57 It's About Who You Become
2:09 You Brought Nothing, You Take Nothing
2:52 Not the Pension, the Person
3:19 You Don't Need a Fortune to Start
3:39 The Widow and the Early Believers
4:07 Tomorrow: Sending Your Treasure to Heaven

💡 *KEY TAKEAWAYS:*
• The only thing you take with you when you die is who you have become
• Character is the investment that lasts forever
• Close the gap between what you say and what you do
• You don't need a fortune to build a life that lasts
• Faithfulness matters more than the amount

📝 *YOUR CHALLENGE:*
Pick one thing - one real, concrete thing - that you will do differently with your money this week. Write it down. Tell someone. And do it.

Your bank statement knows something about you that you don't. But this isn't about guilt - it's about freedom.

In this devotional, we're looking at what your money actually reveals about your heart. We're exploring how greed can be quiet, how small choices reveal big truths, and how faithfulness with money isn't about the amount - it's about the attitude.

This is Day 5 of a 7-day series on Money, Faith, and Discipleship. If you've been following along, today we move from what we believe about money to what our money reveals about what we truly believe.

*CHAPTERS*
0:00 - Introduction: Your Money Is a Window Into Your Heart
0:55 - Greed Doesn't Always Look Dramatic
1:53 - How to Spot Quiet Greed: The Small Choices Test
2:54 - Your Money Is a Mirror - What Do You See?
3:59 - You Can Be Faithful Today, Whatever Your Situation
4:30 - Tomorrow: The One Change That Will Transform Everything

*KEY SCRIPTURES*
- Luke 16:10 - Faithfulness in little things
- Colossians 3:5 - Greed as idolatry
- 1 Timothy 6:10 - The love of money
- Matthew 6:21 - Where your treasure is, there your heart will be

*TODAY'S CHALLENGE*

Everything in us says: hold on tight. But the Bible teaches something radically different. Generosity isn't something you wait for - it's something you practise, because God modelled it first.

In today's devotional, we're exploring why giving away money actually makes you richer. Not through magic or wishful thinking, but through the way God has designed the world to work. Jesus could have kept everything. Instead, he chose the opposite - and it changed the world.

*What you'll discover:*
• Why everything you give back was God's to begin with (1 Chronicles 29:14)
• How Jesus modelled generosity first - and what that means for us (2 Corinthians 8:9)
• Why generosity really does make you richer (Proverbs 11:24-25)
• Why the size of your gift matters less than the heart behind it
• One simple generous thing you can do today

*Timestamps:*
0:00 - Opening: The moment you open your hands, God opens his
1:00 - Everything you give back was God's to begin with
2:10 - Jesus gave up everything - the ultimate model of generosity
2:59 - This week's challenge: lean into uncomfortable giving
3:22 - Does generosity really make you richer?
4:05 - Why small gifts carry enormous weight
4:28 - Today's action: do one generous thing

*Today's challenge:* Do one generous thing today. It can be tiny. Buy someone a tea. Put a pound in a charity box. The point isn't the size. It's the habit.

*Scripture references:*
• 2 Corinthians 8:9
• 1 Chronicles 29:14
• Proverbs 11:24-25
• 1 Timothy 6:19

You Think Money Will Protect You. Here's What Actually Happens.

Most of us are working towards financial security - as if a big enough cushion will keep us safe from everything. But the Bible tells us something different. Real security isn't something you can save up for. It's a person you trust.

This is day 3 of our 7-day Bible devotional series on *money, faith, and discipleship*. Today we tackle the big question: what does real security actually look like - and why does the thing we're working hardest to build so often give us the least peace?

*From 1 Timothy 6:17-19 and Psalm 73:16-17 (NLT)*

—-

*TIMESTAMPS*

0:00 - Introduction: The security illusion
0:42 - The people who look most secure are sometimes the most fragile (Psalm 73)
2:02 - Real security is a person you trust, not a thing you have (1 Timothy 6:17)
3:15 - The more you have, the more you have to worry about
4:15 - Today's challenge: Write down one worry and remind yourself you're not alone

—-

*TODAY'S CHALLENGE*

Write down one thing you've been worrying about financially. Just one. Then write underneath it: **"I am not alone in this."**

You don't have to have it all figured out. The God who made heaven and earth hasn't looked away.

*Every advert in the world is built on one lie.* And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

In this daily devotional, we're unpacking the happiness trap - the belief that more stuff equals more joy - and discovering what Paul says about contentment in Philippians 4:11. Spoiler: contentment isn't something you wait for. It's something you learn, practise, and build day by day.

We'll look at the mechanism behind consumer culture, the question you need to ask before every purchase, and where real happiness actually lives. This is Day 2 of our 7-day series on *Money, Faith, and Discipleship.*

📖 *Key Scriptures:*
- 1 Timothy 6:9-10 (NLT)
- Philippians 4:11 (NLT)
- Ecclesiastes 5:10 (NLT)
- 1 Timothy 6:6 (NLT)

⏱️ *Timestamps:*
0:00 - Introduction: The happiness trap
0:41 - Contentment is learned, not received
1:09 - The one question to ask before you buy
1:39 - What keeps us from learning contentment?
2:04 - The advertising trap and how it works
2:33 - Where real happiness actually lives
3:01 - One thing you can do this week
3:33 - The lie adverts tell vs what God says
4:17 - The foundation everything else is built on
4:45 - Recap and tomorrow's preview

💡 *Today's Challenge:*
Before you buy anything today - even something small - pause for ten seconds. Ask yourself: "Am I buying this because I need it, or because I think it will make me feel better?" That awareness is where contentment begins.

*You think you can't afford to give - but what if you're richer than you know?*

In today's Battle Drill, we tackle the biggest myth about money that keeps most of us stuck. We'll look at what Scripture says about wealth, stewardship, and why gratitude is the gateway to generosity.

If you've ever looked at your bank account and felt like you don't have enough to give, this one is for you.

*📖 Key Scriptures*
- Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (NLT)
- Psalm 23:1 (NLT)
- 1 Chronicles 29:14 (NLT)
- 1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NLT)

*⏱️ Chapters*
0:00 - Introduction: You Are Richer Than You Know
0:18 - The Myth About Stewardship
1:05 - The Way You Measure Wealth Is Broken
2:15 - You Don't Own What You Have - You're Looking After It

*🙏 Today's Challenge*
Tonight, spend two minutes with God. Thank him for something specific you have today that someone else doesn't. Be specific. Let it land. When gratitude settles in your heart, giving stops being a duty. It becomes completely natural.

What if your panic is drowning out the very voice that can save you? Today you'll discover four powerful ways to replace panic with trust in God.

Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still, and know that I am God." But when disaster hits, being still feels impossible. Learn from Mary at the wedding in Cana and the widow in 1 Kings 17 - people who didn't panic when crisis came, but turned to God instead.

In this devotional, you'll learn how to focus on Jesus instead of your problems, remember who God really is, take action even when you can't see the outcome, and trust God's timing when it doesn't match your panic's timeline.

📖 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 46:10 | 1 Kings 17:13 | John 2:3-5

⏱️ CHAPTERS:
0:00 - Introduction: Is Your Panic Drowning Out God's Voice?
0:21 - Be Still and Know That I Am God
0:58 - Four Ways to Replace Panic with Trust
1:03 - Point 1: Panic Focuses on the Problem, Trust Focuses on the Person
1:52 - Point 2: Panic Comes from Forgetting Who God Is
2:52 - Point 3: Trust Takes Action Even When You Can't See the Outcome
3:45 - Point 4: God's Timing vs Your Panic's Timeline
4:29 - Summary: Four Truths About Trust
5:09 - Tomorrow's Preview: What Does Whole Life Discipleship Look Like?

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Where you focus determines what grows - crisis or trust
• Interrupt panic by remembering: God is powerful, present, and faithful
• Trust acts while panic freezes
• Look for God's provision in this moment, not just the final solution

✅ YOUR CHALLENGE THIS WEEK:
When panic rises, pause. Speak one truth about God out loud before you do anything else. Then take the next right step.
