You can use your treasure temporal for eternal purposes!

1/15/2020

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 NKJV

The bible was written as encouragement, an exhortation and instruction manual for right living so God can bless us.

God reveals Himself to us through His written Word. He reveals His character. God has a personality. He has emotions. There are things the Lord likes and things He does not like.

God is not telling us money is bad. If the Lord has blessed you financially don’t feel guilty or less spiritual. Be blessed and thankful.

If you are struggling financially rejoice. One day you will walk upon streets of Gold. We are eternal beings. We will outlive our current financial status.

God does not want us to be disappointed. If we set our hearts upon the treasure of this world we will be disappointed. Money never satisfies our real needs and desires. It is temporal. You are eternal.

The things this world calls treasure have a way of vanishing into thin air. Even if you managed to build up a fortune and hold onto it you cannot take it with you when you leave planet earth!

You can send your treasure on ahead of you today. You can use your earthly treasure for eternal purposes. Ask God to show you how to use your money in ways that will glorify Him and bless people in eternal ways.

Jesus loves you regardless of how much money you have. Jesus does not want you to be disappointed by meaningless and temporary things that glitter. The Lord wants to bless you with eternal and incorruptible blessings!

Jesus wants you to set your heart upon that which never fails or disappoints and always satisfies, His great love for you!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

You can use your treasure temporal for eternal purposes!
