JUST FOLLOW YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, THEIR YOUR HEART WILL BE:

" Where Your Treasure Is There Will Your Heart Be Also "

God's good news, the gospel, Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ taught His followers and listeners the difference between earthly treasure and heavenly treasure, and He emphasized the importance of the heavenly: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” ( Matthew 6:19–21 ). Whatever we focus on dictates our actions. When we focus on earthly success and wealth, we will expend our energies on earthly matters. However, when we focus on God’s priorities, our actions will reflect different priorities, and our reward in heaven will last forever.

Treasure is anything we value above all else and that which motivates us to action. For some it is money. For others it is power. Still, other people strive for fame or attention. There are many things in this world calling for control of our hearts.

According to Jesus Christ, determining where our treasure is also determined where our heart is.

Many Christians claim to look forward to heaven, but their hearts are really not in supporting the biblical truth and their spiritual family who are in the in Christ Church, their hearts are caught up in the cares of this world because that’s where their treasure lies, Yes so many Christians, family, and friends always saying and telling me how much they love the ministry and work I'm doing for the Kingdom and God's sons and daughters, but won't even send me one small-dollar of love and support.

Yes, Jesus warned us that earthly currency has an expiration date and so do human life. While it may satisfy us temporarily, it is unstable and fleeting. The ever-changing faces on magazine covers remind us that the famous are here and gone in a blink.

The stock market crash, job loss, death, sickness taught us that the wealthy can quickly lose it all. Power, prestige, and public approval are limited and can be gone in an instant. Even the Son of God experienced the lack of human approval. One day people were trying to make Him king ( John 6:15 ), and the next they were leaving Him in droves ( Verse 66 ).

“This world in its present form is passing away” ( 1 Corinthians 7:31). The moment we take our last breath, earthly treasure won’t matter anymore. Jesus Christ urged us to think beyond that last breath to eternity. When our focus is on eternity, when our treasure is laid up in heaven, our lifestyles reflect that perspective.

Please get this in your heart and your spirit, All the time, the wealth you are giving to buildings you call Church homes and supporting the world before supporting your heavenly family, will be In Vain before the Holy God and Father, ( FYI )!

We will all give an account of ourselves before God for every action ( Romans 14:12 ) and every idle word ( Matthew 12:36 ).

No one is exempt. Excuses are not accepted. God sees and knows every thought we think and holds us accountable for the truth we’ve been given ( Romans 1:18–22 ). We store up “treasure in heaven” when we make choices on earth that benefit God’s Kingdom. Jesus Christ said that even offering a cup of cool water to a fellow believer is worthy of eternal reward ( Matthew 10:42 ).

In ( Luke 16:19–31), Jesus Christ told a story about a rich man and a beggar. The rich man had invested his life in opulence and pleasure. He cared little for anyone or anything but himself. When he died, his riches could not follow him.

His life choices had prepared him only for hell, and all the money and prestige he enjoyed on earth counted for nothing. After death, he would have given everything he ever owned for a single drop of water, but his treasure had been invested elsewhere.

It is no sin to be rich, but our passions follow our investments. Wealthy believers who consider their riches as belonging to God will use what they have in ways that have eternal significance, protecting their own hearts from the love of money ( 1 Timothy 6:10 ).

God's sons and His daughters whose treasure is in heaven cannot be owned by their possessions. They cannot be bought off because nothing on earth is worth the price of their soul. They value the currency of heaven and use their earthly treasure to purchase “heavenly gold,” which will never lose its value. Investing our treasure in material things keeps our hearts anchored to earthly values; however, when we invest in things of eternal value, our hearts remain loyal to the Lord, and we will not be tempted to foolishly attempt to serve both God and money ( Luke 16:13 ). God's sons and His daughters. Amen.
