HOW TO STORE TREASURES IN HEAVEN

HOW TO STORE TREASURES IN HEAVEN

There is nothing intrinsically evil in acquiring wealth. It should be used to serve a good purpose. However, a follower of Christ is required to draw a balance between what is consumed on self and immediate family, what is stored in heaven and what is left behind on earth.

Hear what the Lord said in Matthew 6:19-21

“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.

In Luke 16:9-13 the Lord also said:

“And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
