KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 6:19 WEB” laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.”

​

The Lord Jesus speaking on the mount in Matthew 6:20, said,” but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves don’t break through and steal. ” The Lord added that where your treasure is, there would your heart be. The final part of the message the Lord gave is very significant. Your heart talks about that which drives your whole being.

​

Where is your heart located? Is your heart in heaven  in God’s hands or on this earth, in your earthly moth-destroying or rust-corroding substance

​

Our key scripture says that when we are rich in good works, we are laying  up a foundation for our eternal security. 1Ti 6:19 WEB laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life. When you consciously and willingly  give to the needy, the bible says you are laying up in store  for yourself a good foundation waiting for the end of the age, when you will receive all that you laid in store.

​

Certain people with a reprobate mind have made very  negative comments about this very verse. They say it is the pastor’s strategy to make a  profit from them. Quite a number of Christians have unfortunately allowed  this wrong  concept to influence them so much that they have no heavenly expectations.

​

Dear brother or sister, the bible is the inspired word of God. It is never the creation of any man. Please listen to God’s candid promise about your kind deeds. Heb 6:10 WEB” For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labour of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.” God is faithful to honour His word. He gives you another assurance of faithfulness towards your work for Him. 1Co 15:58 WEB “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” Whatever kind deed we do for Him establishes a foundation for our eternal abode in heaven.

THOUGHT:GOD WILL SURELY REWARD THE KIND-HEARTED
