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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
