Lay Your Treasures In Heaven
Jesus has never equated the amount of money you give
to the church to the amount of treasure you have in heaven

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and
where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
Beloved
of God, where are you laying your treasures today?
God’s
Word tells us to not lay up our treasures on earth. For everything in our
physical world will eventually fade away. Nothing truly lasts in this material
world.
So
why do we put our trust in them?
Whether
it’s money, stocks, gold, or precious stones. None of these riches lasts.
The
Bible tells us to lay our treasures in heaven instead.
But
what does that mean?
Now
some preachers will tell you that it means you should give them more money, and
in return, you’ll have more treasure in heaven.
But
how can that be? I submit to you that they themselves are trying to lay up
treasures on earth.
For
Jesus has never equated the amount of money you give to the church to the
amount of treasure you have in heaven.
The
truth is, spiritual treasures are laid up spiritually. For flesh gives birth to
flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
Meditate
on His promises. Pray according to His will. Give praises to Him.
Most
of all, get to know just how good He really is.
And
as your faith grows, so will your treasure in heaven.
Was
it not said in the Bible that the Kingdom of God is within you?
Therefore,
fill up your inner storehouses with the treasures of God (His precious
promises).
And
most importantly, remember to keep God’s most precious treasure (Jesus Christ)
close to your heart.
When
your spirit is richly filled with Jesus’ life and God’s promises, you’ll find
that no matter what happens in the material world, you’ll still be blessed.
War
may break out, the stock market may crash, all hell may be loose and you still
would walk in the blessings and favour of God.
This
is the treasure that can’t be taken away from you. And where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
Be
Greatly Blessed!
Prayer:
For your promises are sweeter than honey and finer
than gold.
The treasures of the earth may rot and decay, but your
promises will never fade.
I put my trust in you today Lord. I’ll no longer chase
after the illusions of this world.
You’ve already given me the true Treasure of Heaven,
Jesus Christ.
Help me to keep close Him, and your promises close to
my heart.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name,
AMEN!
