WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?

7^TH ,MAY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:1 Samuel 21-22

TEXT: Luke 12:32-48

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. 

34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 

36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 

37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 

39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 

40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

41 Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 

43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 

44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. 

45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, 

46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 

48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

KEY VERSE: Luke 12:34

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

No possession is too prized to deposit for safekeeping with God.

THE MESSAGE:

If men were denied a focus in life, they would lose a basis for existence. They would live an aimless life unbefitting of a human being created by God to enjoy the abundance brought by Christ. But the Lord’s intention is that man should have a noble purpose and pursue it with all his energy.

That was the essential point our Lord Jesus Christ stressed as He addressed His disciples on the key issues of His Second Coming and the need for watchfulness. He spoke of the connection between what you aim for and how this goal should consume all your time and resources. The Lord says the destination of such a prized possession should be “in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.”

God is interested in man’s final destination and seeks his spiritual welfare above all else. He is aware that man’s secular activities can influence his spiritual aspirations. A positive impact would take place only if the goal is heaven with all energies directed towards that goal. Faithfulness, watchfulness, guarding against distractions and the cares of this life are qualities required of a believer who lays his treasure in heaven.

The Christian’s treasures far outstrip the riches of this life. The time, skills and all that we give to God amount to the treasures we are posting to heaven, in appreciation of the blessings we enjoy in Christ. We also fervently preach the Word in obedience to His commandment and to prepare for His imminent return as He promised. No treasure is too great to offer to accomplish this mission.
