My child,
In this season, it’s crucial to regularly examine your heart, for where your heart is, there lies your treasure—those things you prioritise and are willing to sacrifice for.
Consider where you invest your time, energy, focus and money.
What treasures are you genuinely seeking?
Are you chasing likes on social media, a platform for recognition, earthly pleasures and material wealth? Or are you pursuing the eternal rewards I have promised to those who overcome?
These are challenging times and so you must remain vigilant; your enemy is after your heart. His tactics can be subtle and easily overlooked, often disguised as something they are not. Allow Me to examine your motives, and avoid the temptation of earthly treasures.
Instead, focus on storing up heavenly treasures that can never be taken from you. Don’t be deceived by the enemy’s offerings that glitter like gold; they won’t withstand the test of My refining fire.
Seek My Kingdom and strive for treasures that endure. To find My Kingdom, you must dig deep, spending time in My presence through prayer and worship and prioritise Me above all distractions.
Activation: Read the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Meditate on the eternal rewards that Jesus promised to those who overcome, such as the hidden manna, the white stone with a new name on it, the tree of life, the right to sit with Jesus on His throne, your name written in the book of life etc., as well as on the prerequisites to receive them.
Matthew 13:44 (NLT)
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.
Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP)
Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store 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 [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centres] will be also.
