“Your Bible is your greatest treasure. Don’t rush the reading of the Bible. You have the rest of your life to read the Bible, so read the Bible for the rest of your life.”

Psalm 119:162
I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure.

I love watching treasure hunter documentaries on television. They are always filled with intrigue and adventure. We watch as the presenter and his team, metal detector in hand, climb into a deep cave on the hunt for a pirate’s treasure chest loaded with pieces of eight and gold bullion. Sadly, however, they never seem to find the object of the investigation.

However, there is a treasure that you and I can find without scoring the depths of a cave. This treasure is more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. It is the auspicious treasure of the word of God.

It is said that when the famous missionary, Dr. David Livingstone, started his trek across Africa he had 73 books in 3 packs, weighing 180 pounds. After the party had gone 300 miles, Livingstone was obliged to throw away some of the books because of the fatigue of those carrying his baggage. As he continued his journey his library grew less and less, until he had but one book left – his Bible.

The Bible is a library of 66 books penned by 36 people over a period of 1,500 years, yet all the writings of these ancient scriptures are in agreement. All scripture is inspired by the One true God. In my 4 decades of following Christ, I have found the Bible to be my greatest guide. However, the holy scriptures of the Bible do not stand alone. The word of God is synonymous with the Spirit of God, for the word of God is the sword of the Spirit. The word confirms the actions of the Spirit while the Spirit activates the word.

Make reading the Bible a daily habit. Your Bible is your greatest treasure. Don’t rush the reading of the Bible. You have the rest of your life to read the Bible, so read the Bible for the rest of your life.

God-tracking is reading the Bible.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“Dear Lord, I pray that you will always activate your word in my life by your Holy Spirit.”

“Dear Father, thank you so much for the treasure of the Bible. Thank you for inspiring the writings of Scripture and thank you for preserving these scriptures for millennia. Thank you that your word has influenced my life. I choose to make it my ambition to read the Bible for the rest of my life. Dear Lord, I pray that you will always activate your word in my life by your Holy Spirit. Amen.”

“Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up.”

2 Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Thomas Edison, who invented the electric light bulb spent more than $100,000 to attain 6000 different specimens of fibre for his experiments. He failed a miserable 5997 times. Only three of the elements he tested proved suitable. But Edison refused to quit because he didn’t see the results of his effort. He persisted in his task because he knew the end result would qualify his efforts.

I was pondering my work the other day. In my early days in Christian radio broadcasting, I received many wonderful responses from listeners, which greatly encouraged me. Today I possibly reach far more people through my radio programming than ever before but receive very little response. Have I failed? I reason that, due to the excessive media output we’re all subject to in the information age, people, these days, do not generally respond to radio as much as they did 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I often feel like I’ve failed in my God-given task.

Then the Lord reminded me that with every word I speak under his anointing, I lay up for myself heavenly treasures. Jesus said, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” Though I don’t see the results of my labour, the Lord is watching over his word that I speak and he will bring it to fruition in the lives of the hearers. Though I feel like I’ve failed because I don’t see the results of my work, I know that with every word I speak the end result will qualify my efforts.

Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up. The Lord is watching over his call on your life. By his grace, the Lord is doing the work through you. Grace is God’s doing. In the end, when you are called up yonder, you will be astounded at the treasures you have laid up for yourself in heaven.

God-tracking is laying up treasures in heaven.

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT. (NKJV)
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!
Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
Isaiah 55:8-11
1 Corinthians 15:10

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“I know that by fulfilling the task have given me, I am laying up treasures in heaven.”

“Dear God, forgive me for complaining about results. I realise now that the only results I need to be concerned about are following and doing your will. I acknowledge you in my work. I labour not by my efforts but by your grace, and your grace will produce the results of my labour. Forgive me for looking for results in the here and now. I know that by fulfilling the task you’ve me, I am laying up treasures in heaven. The end result will qualify my efforts. Hallelujah! Amen.”

“Seeking the will of God is letting go of worldly values and laying up treasures of love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, gentleness and self-control.”

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Jesus taught a parable about a man who found a treasure in a field. He was so excited about the prospects of acquiring this treasure that he immediately returned home and set about selling all his possessions to be in a position to buy the field where the treasure lay. He might have owned a great many possessions, perhaps a house, several donkeys or sheep. I could imagine his sense of loss when he sold his beloved faithful horse. But the treasure he found was great, far greater than anything he owned. This treasure was greater than his attachment to material goods. This treasure was precious, worth letting go of his home and valuables to acquire. This man was sold-out for a treasure of great worth.

Jesus likened the kingdom of God to a treasure of great worth, worth every iota of our lives. Like the man in this story, to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness we need to be sold out for Jesus. The kingdom of God is not a physical tangible commodity, it's a domain of glory, goodness, peace and purpose. The kingdom of God is like an eternal bank account, filled with the abundant blessings and provision of the glory of the riches of God in Christ Jesus. It’s a bank account in which you if you are sold-out for Christ, can invest. Jesus said, “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”

God-tracking is all about seeking the will of God. Seeking the will of God is seeking the kingdom principles of God. Seeking the will of God is letting go of worldly values and laying up treasures of love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, gentleness and self-control. Seeking the will of God is being a sold-out believer who invests in heaven.

I want to be sold out for Jesus. Help me Lord, to lay up treasures in heaven.

“Dear God, I’m sorry for being so consumed with this world. I have treated my material life far too intensely. Forgive me, O Lord. I choose now to lay down my worldly life to be consumed with things of your kingdom. I choose to let go of everything I hold dear to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness. I know, my Lord, that your word promises that if I do this, then all I will ever need for life and living will be given to me as well. I want to be sold out for Jesus. Help me Lord, to lay up treasures in heaven. To your glory. Amen.”
