Get rid of your treasures and follow Jesus





Jesus Christ said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. That is it because a rich man does not have any need of God, he himself supplies in all his needs therefor, why will he ask God for anything. The same applies to religious people. It is almost impossible for a religious person to enter into the kingdom of God. The same applies to people who have been born into Christianity, those who have grown up as Christians. Very few of them will ever enter the kingdom of heaven because they trust in the doctrines, their religion, their teachings that they have been brought up in. To them and that is their security.

Many trust in their Bible knowledge, their interpretation or understanding of the Bible; but they have no knowledge of Jesus Christ. Neither will they accept the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are rich in themselves, with the knowledge, the doctrine, and the  brainwashing that they have grown into.  That is their treasure. Unless we are willing to give up everything to follow Jesus Christ, our earthly treasures, our treasures of knowledge and religious theory, teachings; unless we are willing to regard all of that as garbage, trash, and totally trust in Jesus we will never follow Him, we will never know Him.

Religious people are unteachable. They are even unteachable to God. They refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit, they refuse to be taught by Jesus Himself and that is why most professing religious Christians will end up in hell. They will never know Jesus Christ, they will never learn from Him. We have to regard everything as trash and discard of it in order to be receptive for Jesus Christ. We have to seek Him above all things, ask Him to teach and guide us. If we distrust Him, if we want to test Him, test the Holy Spirit, against our

Bible knowledge, we are not worthy of Him, we do not trust Him; and such people will

never follow Jesus Christ. There are many religious people are like that in churches today,they are sufficient in themselves and they think they have salvation, but they do not have Jesus Christ. They will perish in their own deception.

Give up all your treasures, subject yourself to Jesus stand before Him as a pauper, let Him teach you, let Him guide you and you will have wisdom and understanding, you will get to know Jesus Christ for real.

May Jesus bless you.

Working in vain



The world works and strives for things that will not last, things that will perish. The day that we die everything that we have attained and gathered will stay behind, it will all perish. Man will not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. We have to work for the kingdom of God. We have to gather our treasures in heaven or else the day that we die we will be bankrupt.

We gather treasures in heaven through doing the will of God, through HEARING the Word of God, that which He tells us to do and doing that. In that way we build up our treasure in heaven but if our treasure is on earth we will have nothing when we die and stand before Jesus Christ. If we had no interest in the kingdom of God, if we did not care for Jesus Christ to obey Him, to live for Him and to build His kingdom then we will have no place with Him the day that we die. All profit that we gained in this world will stay behind, it will perish. all credit, all attainments, all qualifications, everything that this world treasures, money, riches, property, fame, all of it will perish. Only that which we have done in obedience to Jesus Christ, under guidance of His Holy Spirit, only that will stand. Everything that we have done will be tested by fire and if we have no treasure in heaven we will have no inheritance with Jesus Christ.

Are we working for things that will perish or are we working for the kingdom of God? Will we lose everything that we have worked for or do we have a treasure in the kingdom of  heaven?

May Jesus bless you.
