Storing Treasures in Heaven

-

Matthew 6:20 (NIV)

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”

Every day, we are depositing something—either into earthly accounts or heavenly ones. Jesus gently reminds us that while earthly treasures have their place, they are fragile. They fade, break, rust, get stolen, or lose meaning over time. But heavenly treasures endure forever.

Heavenly treasures are not things; they are the results of a life lived for God.

Every act of love…
Every moment of obedience…
Every sacrifice made in secret…
Every seed sown in generosity…
Every prayer lifted in faith…
Every soul touched by the gospel…

These become eternal deposits that time cannot erase.

Jesus did not say, “Do not have earthly treasures,” but rather, “Do not store only there.” Why? Because what we treasure reveals where our heart truly is. When we invest in heaven—through character, faithfulness, service, and love—we anchor our hearts in what is everlasting.

True riches are not about how much we gather, but how much we give. Not about what we own, but what we build for eternity. One day, everything on this earth will pass away, but the treasures we have stored in heaven will greet us on the other side.

So today, choose investments that matter forever. Love deeply. Give generously. Serve quietly. Live faithfully. These are the currencies of heaven.

🛐 Prayer

Lord, teach me to invest in what truly lasts. Help me store treasures in heaven through my words, actions, and heart. May my life be a reflection of Your kingdom and a deposit into eternity. Amen.

WALKING WITH GOD IN EVERY SEASON

How Joseph’s Life Reveals God’s Faithfulness Through Every Stage of Our Journey Like the tides of water, life seems to follow the movement of rising and falling. Even as seasons in our lives keep on changing, God doesn’t. He remains faithful in every season. His presence meets us even in the most unlikely and unfamiliar places and in desperate situations. His presence goes with us even when circumstances appear as though we are abandoned, forgotten, and defeated. God is the author of your story, just as He was with Joseph’s. He’s writing new chapters and preparing your breakthroughs, unimagined new opportunities, and restoration. In Genesis 39, Joseph finds himself in unfamiliar circumstances. Being sold as a slave in a foreign land would only indicate that his life was on a downward trend. However, even as the tide turned against him, painting a picture of loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment, he was not alone. Genesis 39:2 reads, “ The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered .” G...

God Calls, Covers, and Completes

" Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus ". -Philippians 1:6 In Nehemiah Chapter Two, we find Nehemiah heavily burdened by the news he received about the city of Jerusalem, whose walls were broken down and gates burned with fire. Nehemiah, still in exile, served as a cupbearer for the Persian king. As he was serving the king with wine, the king noticed that Nehemiah was troubled at heart. Nehemiah told the king about how the city of Jerusalem was in ruins and asked for permission to rebuild it. Not only that, but he also asked for resources to rebuild it. And the king granted his request. The king of Persia could have denied Nehemiah’s request, but instead, he granted it. All these requests were granted to Nehemiah, “ because the gracious hand of my God was on me .” – Nehemiah 2:8. God has a purpose and a mission for each one of us. Even before we realise what His missions for us are, Hi...

Trust Beyond the Silence

  “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. ” – Psalm 13:5 Psalm 13 is one of the shortest psalms of David, and yet a powerful one. In this psalm, three times he asks, ‘ How long? ’ indicating a phase of deep distress and abandonment in his life. He begins this psalm by asking God, “ How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Just as David did, when we are in distress, abandoned, lonely and forgotten. Or when we are in a season of waiting and things seem to move more slowly, we often find ourselves complaining to God with questions like, ‘Why me, LORD? Why do I have to suffer this? How long will I endure this pain and sickness? How long will you let them continue to torment me? When will you look to me with favour? Often, when we don’t have what we need or are not where we should be, we begin to complain, find fault and lose faith in God’s plan. And yet we forget that God is ever faithful, even in momen...
