Treasures

 Isiah45:3 {NLT}

And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—

    secret riches.

I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,

the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name. 


The word of God makes us to know that the earth, the world, as a whole is covered with darkness, according to Isaiah 60:2a - "See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, " 

This automatically means that before anyone was born at all, the earth swam in darkness and so by default, we live in a world that is dark. But scripture says that light shines in darkness and darkness can't comprehend it. Jesus is this Light that shines in darkness. If you do not have Jesus in your life, I urge you to ask Him in now to be your Lord and Savior.

The anchor scripture for today let's us into an important matter, that there are treasures hidden in this dark world, that only God can reveal to an individual. Now, this doesn't have to be some 22 karate gold piece, No!  This treasures come in different forms as: direction on what to do next in life, what to say to a certain person, how to respond to a certain issue, the course to study in the university, etc. It may be an idea or an opportunity, it may be a new material you need to come across in order to have a solution to the challenge you have had for a while. Whatever the darkness may be there is a light for it. God says He will give it to His own; to me, to you!



1.He makes a promise.

2. He gives us an invitation.  Invitation to ask for the treasures that our heart so desires. What is it that has been the situation in your heart, I bring you this invitation that God has given in His word. I invite you to ask Him for the treasures you so earnestly desire. I invite you to ask Him for that which you need but are not even aware that you have need of them.

3. He wants us to come out of where we are right now in our relationship with Him and into a deeper place_ intimacy_so we can know that He is the God of Israel. He wants us to know a different side of Him, one we have never known or one we can know better.


God promises to give us the treasures that are hidden in darkness. Today's post is to show you the treasures (some of it) in that verse, and I trust that the Spirit of God would search out stuffs from the deep of God so you SEE in this dark world!


I love you and God bless you.

Peace.

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

Lesson One: Knowing 'your' God

There are 7.4 billion people on earth. Findings say adults make 35,000 decisions daily while babies make 3000 decisions(you didn't know that,did you?). About 3.2 billion fall within the age range of 15-44years of age. Very few things bring life and excitement or enthusiasm like a new idea you think is so great. It could almost take all your attention and mind.You can almost have an 'action rush' , as you would go all the way out just to get your idea to come into reality. Note that an action rush is different from a 'steady build '. Like any other great thing in life, challenges,especially unprecedented will arise (many of them disrupting your plan!) I came to realize that nothing beats a person who not just has an idea but knows God. I got to this point in 2015 where I just had to settle to really find my God and grow my faith. What exactly does it mean to know God? Knowing God is like enlarging your understanding of God and establishing a personal strong be...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...
