True Prosperity vs. The Riches of This World

DAY 5 OF 9

Treasures in Heaven

Listen to our friend Unathi tell how Jesus compared treasures in this world to treasures in his kingdom.

Jesus said that where our treasures or riches are, that’s where our hearts are. If our treasures are on earth, they will decay or be stolen. But if we store our treasures in heaven, they will last. Jesus challenged us to focus our energy, trust, and desires (our hearts) on our heavenly Father rather than worldly possessions. We only find true prosperity that does not pass away in Him. We can trust that our Father, the giver of this true prosperity, sees our needs, and he will provide for those needs. We need only to seek his kingdom, not our own.
