But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy." Matthew 6:19-20 (NIV) People say, "You can't take it with you!" But they are wrong. There will be treasure in heaven, and we have to start storing it there now. What are you doing to make sure you will have treasure when you get to heaven?:)
This is the first offline message that I have read this morning. It’s a message from my beloved sister (in faith) Ailene, who never fails to inspire people thru her everyday commitment on sending inspiring messages. I miss her, but PG for her life. She was used by God to help me “grow on a fertile ground”.
Ailene’s message has a lot to do with our everyday life. Every sunrise is indeed a chance to earn treasures that we will soon enjoy in heaven. Apparently, we are often misled by our earthly treasures. We walk astray and follow the “god of this world”- satan.
Yes, satan is the god of this world. Nevertheless, God is a lot more powerful than this enemy. God just let satan rule this world, but He assures that our enemy’s goal to destroy us will not be tolerated.
This world is like a warfare ground. And our worst enemy is satan. This enemy works hard to keep us from getting closer to God. And sadly, many are serving their enemy instead of God. In Luke 4: 1-13, it was insinuated that we cannot serve two masters at a time. Now, whom are you gonna serve, God or satan? Where do you want to go, heaven or hell? What are you choosing now, earthly life or eternal life?
