"Your God...Has Given You Treasure!"(Genesis 43:23)

 23 “It’s all right,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.”(Genesis 43:23)

God has given believers’ treasures.  He has placed the Gospel message in our hearts to distribute to others.  He intends for us to be blessing and give the truth freely.  

The Holy Bible also states, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."(Matthew 6:21)  Believers in Christ Jesus treasure everything of the Lord and heaven.  We are told to lay up treasures in heaven where no harm comes to them.  Treasures can be thought of as what is important.  Here is a short list of a Believers' treasure:

1. Salvation 
2. Freedom from sin and bondage
3. Winning other people to Christ Jesus
4. Help others in need with resources
5. Love and care of others (family, friends, enemies) especially with prayer.

This is not a conclusive list.  Please make your own to examine your thoughts on treasure.

Challenge:   Believers, your treasures are grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Let us share according to the measure of faith that has been given.  It is for the Father's glory!  Praise Him!  Amen.

"Make You Fruitful and Increase!"(Genesis 28:3)

"May God almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples."(Genesis 28:3)

Yes, may God cause your light to shine believer in Christ Jesus until others join the body of Christ in faith.  Believers are to increase by growing spiritually mature.  Spiritual maturity is seen by the manifestation of the fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5.  We should increase in hope, love, joy, peace, patience, and other holy characteristics to signify that Jesus controls our life.

This maturity also includes being a witness for Christ Jesus.  A witness tells of their experience with the truth.  The Holy Spirit utilizes the testimony to draw others to salvation in Jesus.  The book of Acts has testimony after testimony of how the Word of God spread plus the increase in believers in Christ.

Challenge:  Let us grow and mature in faith manifesting the fruits of the Holy Spirit.  Also, let our lives and testimony be utilized of God to draw others to Jesus.  Amen!

"Believe the Lord" (Genesis 15:6)

Believers in Christ Jesus believe with faith that the promises of God will be fulfilled.  They walk by faith and not by sight.  Patience is the attitude while waiting on God.  There are many examples in the Scriptures.  Abram was one such example.  God told him of his offspring's future and the land of their inheritance.  The Holy Bible states, "Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness."(Genesis 15:6)  God did just as He promised.

Faith recognizes and receives God's promises.  Believers in Jesus Christ are receiving them now such as the filling of the Holy Spirit.   The end result of faith is eternal life.  If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."(Galatians 3:29)

Challenge:  Keep on believing your faith is to be rewarded! Amen!

Victorious Inheritance!(Revelation 21:7)

7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

The Scriptures have declared believers in Christ Jesus as children of God.  We are heirs specifically joint heirs with Christ.  Jesus overcame the grave to inherit resurrection unto eternal life so will believers.  Jesus inherited a throne so will believers that are victorious.  God also said, "4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”(Revelation 21:4)  A final new beginning is planned for the victorious children of God.  

Believers in Christ Jesus accept and receive current and the future new beginnings by faith.  You are victorious over the world and unbelief because you believe in God's only Son.

Challenge:  Remember your names have been written in the Lamb's book of life.  Believers are heirs of the Kingdom of God.  Let the Holy Spirit fill you and invite others into the family.

"To the One Who is Victorious!"(Rev. 2 and 3)

Jesus said to the seven churches repeatedly this phrase, "To the one who is victorious."  He said these things:

• “I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.(Rev. 2:7)
• Will not be hurt at all by the second death.(Rev. 2:11)
• I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.(Rev. 2:17)
• I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ [b]—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. (Rev. 2:26-28)
• The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.(Rev. 3:5)
• I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.(Rev. 3:12)
• I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.”(Rev. 3:21)

These are the promises to the victorious.  How does one become victorious?  They have faith in God's only Son, Jesus.  They overcome the world by this faith.

"Love is a Command!"(1 John 4:21)

Believers in Christ Jesus are given the great miracle and command to love others.  This love is God's love in one's heart.  God said, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."(1 John 3:18)  "Love" like faith is an action word.  It is proven by what one does not just with lip service.  If we say that we love God, then we show it by loving one another with righteous actions.

Righteous actions is doing what is right.  It is most of all fulfilling the Great Commission to go into all the world and spread the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.  God's love sent His Son to cover sin.  He once and for all made provision for salvation of the soul.  What great love!  Let us be carriers of this love and pray for hearts to receive it.

Challenge:  Saints, God has commanded love as an action verb.  It is moved to pray for the lost and share the good news.  We pray and help one another when their is a need.

"And he has given us this command : Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister."(1 John 4:21)

"Faith Without Deeds is Dead!"(James 2:26)

Faith believes and hopes for in what is unseen.  It is a trust.  Believers in Christ Jesus trust in Him and God the Father.  Their faith is evident by their actions.  These actions are right and validate their faith.  “You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.”(James 2:24)  Jesus additional stated, “That by their fruit you will recognize them.”  Goodness comes from those who believe.  It is in their DNA that is inherited by receiving the Holy Spirit.

Faith is action word.  It is carried out by obeying the voice of the Lord.  The Holy Bible confirms God’s way of doing.  Faith is also alive.  The risen and alive Savior, Jesus Christ, directs this faith.  He is the pioneer and perfect of it.  “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”(James 2:26)

Challenge:  Believers, examine yourself to see if you are in the faith.  Faith is active and alive.  It does righteousness.  Consider those such as Noah that acted on faith.  The Holy Spirit gives counsel and helps us!  Amen!
