1Timothy 2:18-19
18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds,
and to be generous and willing to share. 19In this way they will lay up
treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so
that they may take of the life that is truly life.
An investment in spiritual currency is like none other. The apostle
Paul wrote his letter to Timothy about treasure. Most think of treasure
as financial but treasure can be whatever is valued. The highest
currency to our Lord is not in paper money but in spiritual. Why?
Because God is spirit and we are to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
What is spiritual currency? It is in an investment in the Kingdom of
God. Well how does one invest in the Kingdom of God? Not only is it
doing good but having the willingness (wanting) to share and planting
seeds in others so that they can go forth and fulfill their purpose.
Many do not understand when you invest in the kingdom of God, it is not a
small investment but rather greater than anything you can give. Every
investment in the kingdom of God whether through your pocket book,
kindness, encouragement or knowledge and wisdom you give to assist
someone gets documented into the Lamb's book of Life. When you depart
from your natural body, Your spirit has to give account face to face
with the Lord on what you have done. If all you have done is just about
you, you, you then what spiritual currency have you acquired? None. But
when you look beyond how you can benefit and concentrate on providing
what someone in the kingdom of God needs, you are making a deposit. Your
reward can be earthly if God so chooses but often your reward is stored
in heaven waiting for you because you looked beyond yourself. Bless God
this day if you have made an investment into the kingdom of God with
spiritual currency!!!

To every single leader (title or no title) that has poured into me, I
THANK YOU graciously for depositing into me for the sake of the kingdom
of God (knowingly or unknowingly). Your deposit was indeed a spiritual
investment documented into the Lamb's Book of Life. That is not small
but HUGE!!! And I LOVE YOU for it!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
