Topic: Hidden Treasures 25 - Divine Treasure
Text: Matthew 6:19-21  
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Reflection: 
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…”
What is our “treasure”?
As God’s children, do we know what should be our real treasure?
The word “treasures” refer not just to money, or material wealth, but also to anything that we highly value, or we greatly enjoy or delight in.

Not only gold or our bank accounts, but we can greatly value our job, family, hobby, friends, ambitions, or whatever material possession. We can also treasure our own personal beliefs, behavior, lifestyle, or even our lifetime in this world.

Does it mean we should not appreciate the material blessings, or whatever favor God allows us to enjoy?
We should enjoy and be thankful for them. But we should not “store up” for ourselves those treasures on earth. We need to be content with whatever God allows us to enjoy.

For anything we treasure, we pursue or seek even relentlessly until we have it. Also, we persist to accumulate it as much as we can. And we are ready to sacrifice or to forego other things just to have what we really value.

God’s Word reminded us that whatever valuable thing on this earth would ultimately be lost “where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” The “treasures on earth” are fleeting, or temporary. We could not prevent them from being taken away from us. So, they could not bring complete, total, or permanent joy and satisfaction.

Prayer: 
Father, please help me to relentlessly seek you in Jesus Name 🙇🏽‍♂️

Peculiar People. Part 2 THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  John 1:12-13   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It is a common thing for a child to call someone his Father or somebody called a child his son. There are lots of things to consider before someone could be the real Father or real son . Sometimes there may be a need for DNA test to be sure. We remember Chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory. In his WILL demanded a DNA test for all his other children apart the children of his first wife. When he was alive he take them as children but now he wanted to prove that they are truly his children. For the prove of the right of God children, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ, all other children of God will undergo DNA test. Matt 3:16-17 Let us break the Topic into two parts. The Right to become.... Children of God. What i

April Online Seminar  Theme: God's Workmanship.  Text: Ephesians 2:10  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" INTRODUCTION  God calls us His workmanship or His artwork, from the Greek word poiēma. We are something crafted, with skill and a purpose, by God, for His purposes. Specifically, we are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Good works do not give us salvation, but they are absolutely meant to be the result of salvation. THE TRUTH  The truth that Christ’s believers are God’s workmanship reflects His works of creation, redemption, provision, and sanctification in every believer’s life. This workmanship displays the greatness and the goodness of the loving Creator. IN CHRIST JESUS The words “in Christ Jesus” is the ground upon which salvation rests. When God makes a new creature out of a sinner, He does it in Christ Jesus. He and He alone is the only w
