The true investment

Is this a true investment ? 

 Matthew 6 : 19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

What is a true investment to you ? I believe a true investment is an investment that does not suffer losses , brings contentment and achievement . 

We are all investors in the marketplace. We invest our time, our wealth , our skills , our resources in our job, in our industry .Everyone hoped that our investments earned profits .

There are two groups of investors in the marketplace and they are the " Future Investors " and the "Current investors ".

Who are the current investors ? The current investors invest all they had to earn back everything belong to this world , such as more wealth and fame . However, they are not prepared for their future.

In Matthew 6 : 19-21 , Jesus taught us how to do the right investment. The right investment is to invest what you have of this world to earn rewards belong to the future. As a Christian entrepreneur or worker have you ever thought of your future investment.

Any investment made to this world will vanished, you will leave this world empty-handed like how you came. Yet, there is a better marketplace, and you will not be empty-handed if you have made your future investment .

How can I prepare for my future investment ? What are you working for? If you are working for this world , you are a current investor. If you work for God , you earn money to glorify God , you work to be a testimony of Christ not to be an example of man . 

You must know where your heart belongs. If your heart is set right , your priority is set right, you had made your future investment.

God is moving and is working in the marketplace. He is seeking for those true and smart investors to use them for HIS glory. Can you see his hand moving in your workplace ? 

Be a smart investor , act smart , invest smart !

God bless !
