Thursday Forensic Message.
Matt 13:44
Treasure found in a field.
Your progress is determined by seeing things that others can’t see.
He came from a poor family. Wanted to be rich. Didn’t know that the wealth was facilitated by walking with God.
- Your progress determined by what you are seeing.
- what you can see that others can’t see.
- See what is not visible.
You need light. Spiritual Light. When Lot saw Sodom and Gomorah he saw land to own. Abraham didn’t see it that way.
You are in the church because your eyes can see something.
How to train your eyes to see the Blessing of God that others can’t see.
Kingdom of God is like a treasure in the field not seen.
Treasure = wealth
Your life is three compartments.
Value
Important
Wealth
Items to consider and put in a category:
Wealth Money House Cars Family Pets Job Health Food Friends Church Clothes Holidays Children Pleasure peace entertainment education Love Time technology happiness joy
The Kingdom is like treasure. Not Value or Important.
Real Wealth is invisible. HID from view.
When you say you are truly blessed you usually state visible items.
An example:
Cell phone more valuable than your Bible
Bible is more important than your cell phone.
Your job is valuable
Your family is important.
If you mix these one day you will regret the out of balance.
Things go up and down in value. Discern what is value. Then discern what is important and place it there. Your calling is important!!!
God has called Jerome to put us in the Wealth/Treasure category.
The unseen Blessing is the treasure hid in a field. It’s the Holy Spirit.
Don’t just count your blessings. Allocate them into categories.
Then discern the invisible Blessing.
Peace and quiet is important. Enjoy the kids noise because one day you will have them married and not living at home. Kids are Wealth.
Your Protection: unseen blessing is your health. From today ask God for eyes to see what is unseen. You don’t appreciate things and people until they are gone.
Your salvation is treasure, Jesus, church family
Value comes and goes. Important can also change. Treasure stays the same.
Three components. We need to understand what is where.
He sells all the value and important stuff to buy the treasure/wealth. Maybe not literal but it’s telling you that it all goes to the wealth invisible area.
