Last night I saw this picture where we went into this room to collect stuff with lots of other people and all these rats ran away as we came in and the stuff in the room was just all bits of rubbish now and the word that came to me was Matt 6:19 "Don't store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
It is so easy to think you are storing up treasure in heaven but the reality is that if you are wanting praise from man in any way then you are actually receiving your inheritance now. When you work for the Lord the things done in secret I believe, is what is stored up in heavenly places awaiting a time of release and when that release comes is unto the Lord, it may be on the earth while you are alive but it may also be later. So I encourage you to continue sowing those things in the spirit unto the Lord, obedience to his word whatever that may look like whether just forgiving someone an offense that doesn't even know they have done it, whether loving someone who hates you, whatever it is, not needing to be seen by men and you are storing up an inheritance in heavenly places awaiting a time of release. :) And don't be jealous of those whose release of that inheritance happens here on the earth because prior to all that heavenly stuff being poured out on peoples lives may have been years of sowing in the quiet hidden places that no body sees but the Lord.
