"Treasures of HIS Kingdom!"

 

"Both Now and Forever!"

 

Matthew 13:52 (New International Version)

He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old."

Every parable concerning the Kingdom of God which Christ uses to reveal HIS Majesty, HIS position of Power and Authority and even to the vastness of Heaven's storeroom, must be a reminder that a King's treasures were collected either by inheritance or war, or even both.

To each Believer in Christ who recognizes the value God places upon each and every soul, it is only then that we come to a deeper understanding of the importance of handling God's WORD with honor and respect.

How thoughtless or irreverent might I then be, when what God calls treasures, is viewed as either unvaluable or worthless having known the steep price that Christ paid for each of us with HIS own life.

Through HIS Victory over death, hell and the grave, I too became an heir and joint heir with Christ, HIM being the Anointed One of God and the First Fruit of Resurrection, a position at the Right Hand of the Father held only by the One who was found worthy to reveal the immense wealth and riches of God's Kingdom to the greatest of HIS creation in both WORD and deed.

As I also learn from the many other parables of Jesus, receiving understanding of them from Holy Spirit, then I am certain of this one thing, that as HIS disciples were 1st responsible for teaching and recording the WORDs of Jesus, it is then also my responsibility to continue revealing Christ and HIS magnificent treasures of God's Kingdom, as a witness to their eternal value, by any and all means possible to others who seek more.

 

O'Lord, grant me, YOUR servant, increasing opportunity,
where I might be a most valuable witness,
to the unmatched wealth of YOUR Kingdom!
YOU said that I have received a portion,
gifts with which I must use to reveal to others,
YOUR Kingdom of Spirit, Power and Glory!!
Prepare the hearts of the people I meet,
to receive the Greatest Gift ever given,
Spiritual treasure, eternal and abundant,
LIFE in YOUR Presence which will never fade!!!

 

 

Amen!
