On the front page of The Northern Advocate Property Guide current to 28 November, 2012, you can see the picture of a most magnificent mansion.
Unfortunately I have never been able to buy any property advertised in any of the real estate guides.
Why?
I have never had enough money to buy my own home for my family.
But for almost 55 years I own the most magnificent property. I did not buy the mansion. The estate was given to me. The giver purchased it for me at a tremendeous sacrifice.
The SACRIFICE is a sacrifce of atonement. It is a sacrifice that turns away wrath and takes away sin. It is not only an atoning sacrifice for certain people, but it is an atoning sacrifice for the whole world.
The purchaser and giver who made the sacrifice is the Lord Jesus Christ.
My property guide is the Bible, and you find my property in the Bible.
The Northern Advocate Property Guide expires on 28 November, but the Bible, the word of the Living God, has no expiry date.
And believe it or not, another guide was in my possesion; this time a bought one, a property guide! With other words six guides in one day! Actually seven, because I read my Bible this morning and I prayed to the Living God! I have the property guide here now before me and do you know what I am reading at the top of several pages? There it says: “Empowering people through property”.
