WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?

LUKE 12:32-48 

KEY VERSE: "For where your treasure is, there will also be your heart" (Luke 12:34).

Men would be deprived of a purpose in life if they were deprived of a focus. They would live an aimless life unbefitting a human being created by God to enjoy Christ's abundant supply. But the Lord's intention is for man to have a noble goal and pursue it with all his might.

That was the main point that our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized when He spoke to His disciples about the importance of His Second Coming and the need for caution. He discussed the relationship between what you aim for and how that goal should devour all of your time and resources. According to the Lord, such a prized possession should be placed "in the heavens that never fail, where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth."

God is concerned with man's final destinations and prioritizes his spiritual well-being above all else. He is fully cognizant that a person's secular activities can have an impact on his spiritual ambitions. Only if the primary objective is heaven and all energies are guided towards that goal will there be a positive impact. A true Christian who lays his wealth in heaven must be faithful, watchful, and guarded against diversions and genuinely care about this life.

The treasures of the Christian far outweigh the wealth of this life. The time, skills, and everything else we give to God adds up to the riches we are depositing in heaven in gratitude for the blessings we have in Christ. We also passionately speak the Word in subservience to His command and plan for His promised return. No wealth is too valuable to offer to complete this mission.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Thank God for the words of encouragement. 
2. Pray that God will increase your love for Him. 
3. Pray for the grace to invest in the kingdom of God.

HE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN SECRETS

  "Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?" Isaiah 29:15 (KJV) Many people live as though God does not see. But this verse is a warning to all who try to hide their sin and act holy before men. God is not blind. He knows everything, He is all powerful, and He is everywhere. You cannot escape His eyes. What you do in the dark, God sees it as clearly as daylight. Nobody wants to be seen as evil or wicked. No one wants public shame. But unfortunately, there is too much hypocrisy in the church today. People commit abominations in secret but present themselves as holy, kind, and loving on the outside. They even go as far as judging others for small mistakes while hiding great wickedness in their own lives. God says: "Woe unto you." If you think He does not see your pride, your lust, your lies, your cheating, your secret sin, wake up. Stop pretending. Do not play hol...

YOUR SEASON OF INCREASE

 TOPIC: YOUR SEASON OF INCREASE "So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him." 1 Chronicles 11:9 (KJV) This verse begins with the word "So," which is a discourse marker indicating a consequence or result of previous events. This means David's greatness and increase were not random. They were outcomes of earlier chapters in his life. David's journey to greatness did not start with a crown. He was a shepherd boy, tending his father's sheep in obscurity. Even after being anointed king by the prophet Samuel, he returned to the pasture. He then faced Goliath and won, but instead of being rewarded with peace, he was invited into Saul's palace where he became a target of jealousy and attempted murder. For about thirteen years, David lived as a fugitive, hiding in caves and wilderness, carrying the weight of a royal promise while being hunted like a criminal. Despite rejection, betrayal, and hardship, David remained faithful to God...

Today, we shall explore the profound topic of sacrificial giving—a practice that goes beyond mere financial transactions and taps into the very heart of our faith. In this sermon, we will delve into the ultimate example of sacrificial giving found in John 3:16, examine the inspiring story of the widow's offering in Mark 12:41-44, and discuss how embracing sacrificial giving reflects our devotion to Christ and our commitment to prioritizing His Kingdom above all else. I PRAY GOD WILL GIVE US A HEART OF UNDERSTANDING IN JESUS NAME. Reflecting on Christ's Ultimate Sacrifice: John 3:16 At the center of our faith stands the cross—a symbol of the ultimate act of sacrificial giving. John 3:16 captures the essence of this sacrifice: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The heart of the Gospel lies in God's willingness to give His Son for our redemption. Christ's...
