Income means: The proceeds of action, labor or capital.
No action, or labor done for God, or capital used for Him, in love whether he would pay
or not; but in faith that he will pay at the best time; nothing on earth, or elsewhere,
has as great an income. God has work so great on earth, he is anxious to employ every
human being; and pay each one untold riches, honor and glory; and have more of these
things Himself, when He gets through. There are certain things of these kind, God obtains
only through the redeemed once on earth. God, commands every body on earth to come to Him
for work (Acts 17:36). Eternal life is given to work for God (Eph. 2:10), and both can
only obtained by seeking for them (Matt. 6:33), and when found, insures an income for this
life. I have found it so, up here in old age.
This income from God to those who will take it, is an everlasting income; and the lack
of it to those who will not take it on earth, will bring such extreme poverty in eternity,
it is compared to weeping and wailing, and gnashing of teeth (Matt. 13:42). Such an income
as that beyond this life, is the only thing that will come to them. On the other hand, the
income of the workers for God is so fasinating, a servant of the Devil, prayed that it
might be his (Num. 23:10).
To the young in sex, Satan offers pleasure in fornication, with the deception that they
have discovered something new, whereas it is as old as sin in the world. Satan is
determined to pollute, if possible, the fountain, from which every babe must come. This,
and the resultant diseases, is the income of fornication, and adultery, which never fails
to come, soon or late. Every girl should pray God to help her to preserve her virgin body,
for her coming husband; and that his body, may be like the body of Joseph.
