FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF YOUR NAME, RESCUE US O LORD FOR YOU ARE THE GREATEST TREASURE WE SEEK

Seeking God’s kingdom and his righteousness above all else is vital for man’s salvation because God is the greatest treasure mankind can ever possess for with God everything is possible and every blessing is receivable.

Our God is all-holy, all-powerful, and all-knowing. His fullness of Godhead is our unfailing inexhaustible treasure-house. He makes the unsullied garment of life our covering beauty.

Every individual believer therefore, is precious in the sight of the Lord, a shepherd would not lose one sheep, nor a jeweler one diamond, nor a mother one child, nor a man one limb of his body, nor will the Lord lose one of his redeemed people.

To be sanctified and made holy must be our aim so that as a mirror reflects an image we too must be seen from that perspective reflecting the Heavenly Father’s attributes; His holiness, His love, His compassion, His mercy, and every perfection He has fashioned.

As Christians, we must be charged with the holiness and faithfulness of God not haphazardly but entirely. The grace of God must reach the very center of our being so that divine operations can be carried out through us to others. Lives’ torrents may come by but the presence of the Lord gives consolation and rescues us from distress. Let the radiance of God’s glory shine through us today as we go about doing His will. Amen
