Unleash the Treasure Within

Unleash the Treasure Within
Jesus Christ came to offer us good hearts. Being born again is not an outward stamp of divine approval but an inward operation to install an operating application that would positively affect our overall output quality.

When we believe in Christ Jesus, in the prophecies concerning Him, in His life, in His Words and His works up to His death and His resurrection and we consequently submit to His lordship, God saves us. We activate the redemption His life, death and resurrection provided on our behalf and an operation, the operation of the New Creation is activated within us. We become born again.

When this happens, our sins are washed away because the Lamb of God had taken away the sins of the world and those sins will never be remembered anymore.

The old stubborn, stony and hard heart that ran against God is taken away and replaced with the heart of flesh, upon the table of which the laws of God concerning the person is inscribed causing a circumcision of the heart.

A new spirit is given. Regenerated and "regened" with the very nature, the supernature of God, it is the power to become God's children and the ability and the potential to grow up spiritually to become like Him, to be transformed and conformed to His image. It is called the eternal kind of life, Zoe. This life gives us the potential ability to get the glorious body at the resurrection just like Jesus Christ, the first born from the dead. The new spirit is built to be able to accommodate God through the Holy Spirit. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit within our bodies from where the fruit of the Spirit is released to the outside. 

Then we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as a seal of our redemption to lead us by the quickening of our mortal bodies and the ordering of our steps into doing the will of God and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Blowing and driving us as the wind blows in the direction of divine destiny and the will of God per time. 

This operation is what Jesus Christ meant when He taught on the treasure of the heart and how until the heart is filled with good treasures, the mouth can't speak good things. He rebuked the Pharisees, how they were whitewashed sepulchres and hypocrites filled with dead men's bones. The Pharisees are the height of what men can become through external religions pursuing God's righteousness, yet it is lacking, because it didn't have the power to change the heart. 

But as good as the new creation is, the release of all that potential depends largely on the person. We were set free so that we can make personal decisions, hopefully in God's favour. God wants us to truly submit by our own free will so that the Holy Spirit can drive us and we can bring forth the fruit of the Spirit. We can't be masters and the Holy Spirit will be master same time. We have to die for Him to live through us. 

It takes our conscious effort towards doing good and expressing righteousness to release the enormous power we have in the new creation. If we don't do that, spiritual evil weeds will outgrow the heart and it will live as if it hasn't been regenerated and the result will not be as expected. The new creation is like the seed broadcasted by the sower, the heart that receives it must be ready to do something with it or else it goes to waste in character and in charismatic power. 

The New Creation man has the capacity to live like God and face challenges like God with God's power and wisdom so as to live above the lusts in the world, but such will have to realise what he or she is loaded with, such must realise the newness he or she has and the nature, the supernature within and confront temptations and trials from that understanding and from that platform of faith to overcome. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. 

Jesus Christ said, a good man, out of the good treasures of his heart brings forth good things... This is who we are. The treasures within us are the fruits God wants us to deliver to the use of the evil and caustic world around us... To bring life to the dead, to bring light to the darkness and to bring love to the world filled with hate, wickedness and insensitivity. 

Will you start unleashing the good treasures within you as from today as one with the new creation? Unleash newness and be different!
