Heaven’s Treasure! (Part-2) - Raising Zion
In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. Proverbs 15:6
As our life on earth moves on, the Lord desires to fill us with the Treasures of Heaven daily! These treasures aren’t tangible, they are spiritual, they are heavenly! For a believer, it is very important that these treasures be found in their life. Let’s look at what these beautiful treasures are; treasures that would replenish our life with God and make us fruitful in Him: 🔆
Fear of the Lord
The greatest treasure a believer can have is his/her reverence to the Lord. THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS CLEAN; it stems out of a heart that loves Jesus dearly, and is unwilling to grieve Him in anyway. There is no place for worry/confusion in such heart. The fear of the Lord helps us grow in a healthy way, helps us depart from evil. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure. Isaiah 33:6
Wisdom and Knowledge
The wisdom and knowledge of heaven surpasses every wisdom of the world. How does one get this heavenly wisdom and knowledge? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:… Proverbs 9:10, 1:7. Ask the Lord and He will give it to you without any partiality. James 1:5. In Christ dwells the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:2,3.
Gold, Frankincense And Myrrh

However, in the New Testament period, Gold is compared to faith, Frankincense to praise and Myrrh to prayer. For a New Testament child of God to grow in his spiritual life, he needs these treasures of heaven need to be found in him. Mathew 2:11.
