“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21 (KJV)
Serving God with your money and possessions is an indication of a growing or mature Christian. This isimportant because God wants you to depend on him not on our money and possessions
The story of the rich man gives a clear indication of what God expects we do with our treasures. Although, the rich man observed all the laws,
Jesus pointed out to him that he was lacking in his service because he kept his treasures to himself. Today, many Christians fall short in this area. They find it hard to share the wealth they believe they have worked hard to earn with others. Material possessions are not bad in themselves, but they can become traps when we love them more than we love God. On the other hand, when we love and serve God with our possessions, we are storing up inheritance for eternity (Phil. 4:18).
Possessions are transient and can be obsolete? But when you serve God and humanity with your blessings, especially those in the household of faith, you store up an inheritance for yourself in heaven; an inheritance safe from decay, theft and evils. Be wise. Bless others with your wealth.
