‘“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.’ Matthew 6:19-21

One of the key areas of distraction in our lives is gathering what the Bible calls earthly treasures, which are essentially material possessions. While there is nothing wrong with these, the Bible instructs that we don’t lose sight of storing up treasures in heaven. There is a saying that you will never see a moving van behind a hearse. Once a person crosses over to the other side of eternity, every material possession will be left behind. Armed with this understanding therefore, it would be wise for us to keep our focus on the things that will count through eternity.

In this study we will look at critical elements of storing treasures in heaven so that we can live wise and unburdened lives.

Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will help us live with eternity in mind so we use every opportunity available to credit our heavenly treasury. Click here to download the series.

‘Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.’ Ephesians 6:10-13

We are at war, whether we realize it or not. This is a war that has raged continuously for thousands of years and will continue until Jesus returns. As a believer, you have automatically taken a position to be in God’s camp and as a result, there will be battles you will have to fight. But you’re not fighting from a position of uncertainty or weakness, rather you are fighting from the position of enforcing the victory Christ has already won for you.

This study kicks off our series on spiritual warfare and lays the foundation of one of the tools that we have been given which is the armour of God. What is this armour and how do we deploy it effectively, so we don’t become casualties of war?

May the Holy Spirit open up our understanding through this series and give us the grace to walk in consistent victory. Click here to download the study.

When we go through the daily grind of life, it becomes very easy for us to get caught up in activities and forget that every day is a gift with an assignment attached to it. When by the help of the Holy Spirit we start to see time from God’s perspective and with the understanding that we will each give an account to God of how we lived our lives, we start becoming more intentional and strategic.

In this study we will be looking at 7 key areas we should be strategic about.

May the Holy Spirit open up our understanding through this series and show us how to live a well invested life. Click here to download the series.
