Buried Treasure for some is a fantasy, and for some it’s a fact, either way, there’s skepticism. Imagine, people finding “Buried Treasure” but the unbelief in it for many will continue to be stronger than the fact that there is a such thing. Buried Treasures are not always buried, and in America today, millions of people participate daily, and are very much involved in its search.
People in search of “Buried Treasure” are looking for sudden riches. Yesterday it was the Gold Rush; today it’s Oil, and the deeper your pockets, plus who you know, the better your strike if found – they say.
People look for “Buried Treasure” today innocently, by gambling legally through the entity known as the Gaming Industry, or illegally in the streets of our cities — holding fast to the belief of chance — investing a little, to gain a lot, hooked on the magic that sudden riches for them is just around the conner, or possibility the next play, hoping it’ll uncover that “Buried Treasure”. They all know it’s not a sure thing, but they belief it is, and it outweighs the likelihood of failure. BELIEF is the keyword. It’s the BELIEF in sudden riches, its lure, and the few that get it that fuels the argument and teases the mystery – (Luke 4:5-8).
Now relax. The notion of “Buried Treasure”, and unrevealed riches, is a fact realizable for all. Many of us have heard the saying — we look for gold in all the wrong places, well it’s true.
Scripture tells us exactly where the ‘Buried Treasure” is – (Colossians 3:1-3). This verse means, once born-again/saved, we’ve died to our old self. It doesn’t exist anymore, and we’re to change our way of thinking about earthly things because it won’t work for us – as if it ever did, and our new life is hidden with Jesus. That’s right, it’s hidden in Jesus, the one who created abundant riches, with way more than enough – (John 10:10), and (Malachi 3:10). Jesus is saying, the world will only fool you, and you’ll lose every time; bank what you have in Me, and you won’t be able to find places for it all.
Don’t stop reading.
Most of us are willing to sacrifice for worldly gain through hard work, and that too is not promised, rather than submit to the gain promised by God. Why? Because we don’t believe, trust, or have the proper knowledge of God, and how He works.
Promise after promise throughout scripture is ignored because of our ignorance of not knowing who we are in Christ. We’re quick to tell people, “I’m just trying to find my way until my ship comes in.” Well let me tell you, you can’t, because your ship is hidden inside of Jesus; so your ‘Buried Treasure’ stays buried, and since we won’t go the way we’re supposed to, it stays hidden, subsequently we search for gold in all the wrong places.
Even the fact that we reap what we sow is ignored, (Galatians 6:7,8) which means, we get what we go after. If most of it is a lie, then we’ll get mostly lies. if it’s the truth, we’ll get the truth. God’s Word doesn’t lie, and once released it goes out and does what it’s supposed to do, and doesn’t come back void, (Isaiah 55:10,11).
We’ll find ourselves in Jesus and His anointing, the same anointing that’s now our anointing; housing our “Buried Treasure.” It’s in Him, plus more than we can ever imagine. Just look at this planet in all its majesty. God ain’t cheap, we are – (Romans 1:24); too, the real who we are with our anointing, we’re to have everything – (Philippians 4:19), and have it without toil or sorrow – (Proverbs 10:22). We limit God.
We limit God when we think small, and move according to our own understanding, which means without Him, and scripture tells us don’t do that – (Proverbs 3:5,6). Not to dig into Jesus is walking blind and deaf, having eyes but can’t see, and ears but can’t hear; lost, and without God – (Jeremiah 5 21,23).
Seek all that God has to give you – (Psalm 37:4), and received all the “Buried Treasure” that’s been there all the time waiting; untapped, undeliverable; getting dusty; instead of you choosing to go around Jesus who’s holding them for you, while the world keeps you doing what you do; hitting and missing — mostly missing, just as Satan intended.
