Have you any treasure?


Hello, welcome  to Triumphant in Christ and I hope you are keeping well. Hey, if this is your first time stopping by, I'm glad you are here, please take a moment to read from the past posts as well. 

Have you any Treasure?
Let me remind you that a treasure is a valuable object, that is cherished and kept carefully. It could be jewels, gold, money or some fortune. For a child, a treasure could be an easter egg 😃 or a new toy. And if you have ever seen kids engaged in treasure hunt, you will see how they will go looking and digging everywhere possible for the hidden treasure and once they find it, their face will light up with such joy and excitement for what they've found. Just maybe the treasure is an easter egg, the next thing would be to consume it, and if it's a toy, it will be the case of unwrapping and exploring this new toy. 

But have you any treasure in your life? What do you have in your life that makes your face glow? What gives you that excitement anyway? Is it your job, your relationships or your assets? The reality is none of those things measure up to being a treasure according to the Bible, and it is because someday, all those things will no longer be useful. They will loose value, and the real treasure according to the Bible is being a part of God's kingdom. Let me show you how.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Matthew 13:44 NASB
Here, Jesus shared this parable to illustrate  the kingdom of Heaven. Many times, we see the kingdom of Heaven as something in the future, but it starts right here, the very day you find salvation,  and like the man in the parable, preserving your salvation is so important that it requires you to give all. 

I see this parable played out in our lives often times. When we come to Jesus for healing,  sometimes that's all we are after and we never bother about getting more. Sometimes, we come to him for forgiveness of sins and we stop there, whereas the Lord has more for us. See the wisdom Jesus is showing us here; the man hid the treasure, went and sold all he has to buy that field. Why? Because he believes there's more!

If you have had one breakthrough after coming to Christ, you shouldn't stop just yet, there's more for you, and that you will find out as you develop your relationship with Him. Don't be in a rush, give it your all, cultivate the relationship which is the field, and you will find more treasures in Him.

God wants you to have more than salvation,  so don't stop at the confession. Go for the healing he has provided for us, go for the joy at all times, go for the blessing and breakthrough he has made provision for, make  sure you are reaching for more, like the man who sold all to buy the field.  
Truly the kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure,  but have you found it?

 Look out for the concluding part...



If you are yet to know Jesus personally,  please contact me, I will like to tell you more.

Triumphant One

One who triumph is a Victor or a Conquest, a Conqueror. this connotes the idea of one who has gone into battle and finished on a victorious note. He did not just win, but has also gathered spoil, therefore, he is a notable success. Isn't it interesting that the Scriptures calls us conquerors. According to Romans 8vs37, Apostle Paul wrote by the Holy Ghost that we (who have believed in God by the sacrifice of Jesus) are more than conquerors through Christ(the Anointed one and His Anointing) who has loved us. As long as we remain in Christ, all battles are as good as won, for by his death, burial& Resurrection, he spoiled he spoiled principalities and power, and made a public show of them"(Colossians 2 vs 15). By his sacrifice, we are guarranted victory in All things.

Favour as a Shield

Psalms 5:12, says the Lord will surround the righteous with favour as with a shield. Who doesn't like to be favoured? Surely I want to be favoured,  and I guess you are just like me.  When I first read this scripture, what came to mind was how can I be qualified for this favour? How can I become righteous? My human nature told me I had to be perfect, I thought of all the dos and donts I have learnt growing up, but none of this made me righteous.  But the Holy Spirit reminded me of 2Corinthians 5:21, which says God made him (Christ) who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf, so that we (you and I) may become the righteousness of God. Really? Absolutely Yes! Jesus became sin so that I can be made God's righteousness.  If I have been made God's righteousness by his death and resurrection, it will require his death and resurrection to be undone before I can loose my righteousness then. Praise God that his work can never be undone. By that one sa...

WHAT TIME IS IT NOW?

  Our life here on earth is guided by time. The importance of time in life is often expressed in the phrase 'Time is of the essence'. But do we truly understand how much time counts? Not just in relation to the life cycle, completion of projects, and the deadlines associated with contracts, but in relation to eternity. The knowledge of the importance of time helps us to place priorities on activities. We don't leave for the latter what we need to do now. I can reverse my wristwatch to deceive myself that it's not yet time for an event, but it cannot stop the event from happening. Truth is my feelings or your feelings cannot stop or change an assigned time. But why am I saying all this about time?  “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,  but My Father only." Matthew 24:36 NKJV Jesus spoke of some events that would precede His return, but what He never told us is the exact time of His return. As a human being, we think knowing the set ...
