WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?

TEXT: Matthew 6:21 

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Every man on this earth, be it rich or poor has got a treasure.  

 *To know what and where a man's treasure is, you only need to check the man's heart- the heart essentially shows where your treasure is.* 

Our Lord Jesus Christ highlighted two different places where you can lay up your treasure. The place you decide to keep your treasure is where your heart would be. 

You could store up your treasure in heaven or on earth. Jesus however advised that you store up in heaven. This is to ensure that your treasure is safe and that your heart journeys upward to God in heaven. 

That's the reason God is saying to you in Colossians 3:2 to *"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.(Colossians 3:2)".* 

If your treasure are not kept in heaven above, you can't and won't be able to set your mind on things above.

 *Where your mind goes, your heart follows.* 

A man's treasure includes money, materials and possessions. It can also include non tangible things that you cherish and value.

Can you think about what troubles your heart the most? 

Can you think about something that will bring you a great pain, sorrow and agony if you lose it?

Can you think of anything that you are willing to do anything in order to gain or keep?

What is that one thing that gladens your heart the most?

What is that one thing that gives you a sense of peace and security whenever you think about it?

These few questions will help you to know where your treasure is stored up.

I once heard about a man that died on the spot the very moment the government agent demolished his house. While this is a very sad incident, it simply showed what the man treasured the most.

May you receive the wisdom to begin to store up your treasure in heaven so that your heart can enjoy true peace, rest and security.

 *Bible Reading:*

 Matthew 6:19-21.

 *Prayer Focus* 

Father Lord, grant me the grace to be able to store up my treasure in heaven in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
