Life's biggest treasure

 If I was to ask you what is the biggest treasure in life, what would say it is ? Would you say diamonds, gold, money ??

A piece of land, a great job ?

What do you consider the greatest treasure in life 🤔?  An interesting thing in this life is we buy the things that are least important while the things that are truly important are free of charge.  The greatest treasure in this life is free of charge! The greatest treasure in this life is relationship. 

Relationships are the most important thing in life because people are the most important things in this world. America has deceived us into making value things more than people and as a result we have become miserable wrecks. Some people are so busy chasing money that all their relationships collapse. They work so many hours that they have no time for anyone else in their lives. But guess what ! The job you are killing yourself for will fire you in a heartbeat if you no longer fit their needs. The job you killing yourself for will let you go quick if you have some serious illness 🤒. Many of us have the wrong priority .

While work is important and has its place in life, working is not the goal of life. To make working your goal in life is to become a slave to materialism,  a slave to inanimate things. The goal of life is not to work but to develop, enjoy and maintain relationships. The first goal of life is to develop relationship with the Lord,  your Creator. For it is in having an intimate and true relationship with God that life become meaningful and we understand our purpose. Without a relationship with God, life become a burden,  a struggle for survival, a quest for the supremacy. Find the biggest treasure in life, develop a relationship with God.

The second most important treasure in life is each other. Diamonds has a price in currency, gold has a price in currency, but what is the price of a human life 🤔? The price of a human life is the blood of the Son of God 😮! A human life is infinitely priceless and building relationships with other people is infinitely priceless.  I heard a saying one time, someone said, " when you die people cry and say they wish you could come back to life, but while you were alived, they ignored you." Many of us are like that, we give no value to those around us. In our pursuit of selfish goals, pursuit of success we ignore what is true success, having healthy relationships. 

True success is not how much money you have in your bank account, but being able to have a relationship with God who sustain all things. True success is coming home to a loving spouse 👰🏾🤵🏾. True success is having relationships with your family, having friends you can rely on. True success is seeing the people you work with as family and seek to develop genuine relationships with them. True success is investing in each other, getting to know each other, learning to enjoy and appreciate each other. True success is to love and to be loved .

Many people have plenty money but are miserable and lonely. What's the need of having all this money if there is no one you can enjoy it with, no one you can help with it ? What's the need of having all this money if there is no one you can trust ? You can keep your money, give me God . Give me someone I can love and someone who will love me. Many of us are greedy chasing after wealth because we lack the true treasure, the true wealth in life, relationships. Friends, don't let society deceive you, work on develop a healthy relationship with God, work on develop a healthy relationship with your spouse, your family, your friends and whoever God place in your life. 

When you are sick, its not money who will be by your hospital bed, comforting you, but those whom you have loved and loved you. In heaven, money will not be of used there, but relationships will remain. Friends, never put any lifeless things or man made things over relationships. Invest in your relationship with God,  invest in your relationship with each other and you will a rich person, having treasures that cannot be bought. One can buy many things, but one two things we can't buy is heaven, and love. Love cannot be bought, love is the reward of investing in people, investing on relationships. The biggest treasure in life is relationship, to invest in them is to be truly rich.  Do not let your job take time away from your family, your family is priceless .

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 Why is my life so hard ? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing but there's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind ? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us life began good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
