One
of my favorite stories is about the Texas rancher who was doing
agricultural consulting
for a farmer in
Germany. He asked the German
farmer about the size of his property, to which he replied, “About a mile square.” When the
German asked the Texan about the size of his ranch, the rancher
explained that if he got in
his pick-up truck at dawn and drove until sunset he would still be on
his ranch. Not to be outdone,
the farmer replied, “I used to have an old
truck like that!”(Perspective-Spanish-Audio-)
  All
joking aside, it’s
important to have the right perspective. Unfortunately, the
Christians in Laodicea had
the wrong perspective about wealth (Rev. 3:14-22). By all appearances, they were rich. They
had plenty of earthly goods and thought they needed nothing—not even Jesus.
But Jesus had a
different perspective. In spite of their material prosperity, He saw that they were “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and
naked” (v.17). So He invited them to become truly rich by
seeking what only He
could provide: purity, character,
righteousness, and wisdom.

Read: Revelation 3:14-22 |
Let’s not make the Laodicean mistake. Instead, let’s keep our perspective right about what it means to be rich. True wealth is not measured by what you have but by who you are in Christ. (Revelation
3 -Audio-)

[You] do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. —Revelation 3:17 |
In Christ we’re rich beyond belief
With wealth the world cannot see; We have new strength and character, New righteousness and purity. —Sper The
poorest person is he whose only wealth is money.

OBJETIVO: Que usted sepa cuáles son, LOS BENEFICIOS DE UNA UNCION APOSTOLICA. TEXTO SALMOS 89:1-4 Las misericordias de Jehová cantaré perpetuamente; De generación en generación haré notoria tu fidelidad con mi boca. Porque dije: Para siempre será edificada misericordia; En los cielos mismos afirmarás tu verdad. Hice pacto con mi escogido; Juré a David mi siervo, diciendo: Para siempre confirmaré tu descendencia, Y edificaré tu trono por todas las generaciones. Selah SALMOS 89:20-28 Hallé a David mi siervo; Lo ungí con mi santa unción. Mi mano estará siempre con él, Mi brazo también lo fortalecerá. No lo sorprenderá el enemigo, Ni hijo de iniquidad lo quebrantará; Sino que quebrantaré delante de él a sus enemigos, Y heriré a los que le aborrecen. Mi verdad y mi misericordia estarán con él, Y en mi nombre será exaltado su poder. Asimismo pondré su mano sobre el mar, Y sobre los ríos su diestra. Él me clamará: Mi padre eres tú, Mi Dios, y la roca de mi salvación. Yo tam...
