Topic : Becoming A Kingdom Treasure.

Memory Verse:: 1 Peter 2:4. So keep coming to him who is the Living Stone—though he was rejected and discarded by men but chosen by God and is priceless in God’s sight.

Bible Reading : 1 Peter 2:1-3. Key Verse : v2.

So abandon every form of evil, deceit, hypocrisy, feelings of jealousy and slander. In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause you to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life— especially now that you have had a taste of the goodness of the Lord Jehovah and have experienced his kindness.

Grace is sweet in the sense that it delivers what we didn’t merit. The intention of God in introducing grace in his dealings with mankind is to let us have first hand experience of his goodness. This experience is targeted at igniting a hunger in us for more of God’s goodness in our lifetime. Though this dimension of God that is called goodness is always functional and available for all to enjoy, it takes some level of maturity to access this realm in full measure. The more maturity you are able to exhibit in your relationship with God, the more you qualify to access the depths of his goodness to mankind. On the other hand, maturity itself is by choice, desire or hunger. It doesn’t happen accidentally. Men consciously walk towards it daily when the hunger is there. Peter here gives us a very important factor that will help us grow into maturity, which is depends heavily on our ability to exhibit hunger for the pure word of God. “Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬.

Another factor that affect growth and maturity is our ability to be students of the Spirit. Students of the Spirit are men/women who live their live their lives in the consciousness that they are spirit beings and therefore does whatever is necessary to pay attention to things of the Spirit of God. Their interaction with the Spirit of God who is a higher Spirit empowers then spirit man to access divine resources in return. This they do by consciously and constantly engaging in spiritual exercises that helps them maintain a healthy and vibrant spiritual life. ‭”Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.” Romans‬ ‭8:5‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬‬.

Today God’s will is the we grow to become a place of his habitation. He wants to live in us and operate through us as his children. There’s a priestly function all us are called into which we can’t be effective in except we grow into maturity. The more mature we are, the more effective we can operate in our priestly office as ordained by grace. When we become very efficient in this office, we will be able the display the beauty of heaven here on earth. That’s when we become the living stones that form a heavenly house where the blessings of our royalty becomes real and visible to all. At this point, you become a treasure to the kingdom because of the value you add to the lives of others. “But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world. For at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are. At one time you knew nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t received it yet, but now you are drenched with it!” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your glorious plan for my life. From today help me to understand that am a spirit being. Help me to take care of my spirit man as to mature and become effective and efficient in my priestly office. Let my life be such that will always display your beauty, adding value to your kingdom in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Joshua 5:13-6:27.
