Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your heaven and your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Dear Father,
Your love is the most priceless treasure.
You have mysteriously and wonderfully created me. You have ordained all the days of my life and written them in Your book before I was even born. All your thoughts towards me are precious.
I praise You because I am Your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, You have prepared in advance for me to do.
I come before You today to humble myself before You, submitting to Your will for my life. Because of You, Father, surely goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.
I am devoted to living out Your will on earth, to be more concerned with storing up treasures in Heaven than on earth.
Lead me, Lord, in the way I should go. Direct my steps and fulfill Your plans for my life. Thank you for guiding upon Your path for me to follow to Your Heavenly home You have graciously prepared for me.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Thank you Jehovah Tsori ( The Lord my Strength Psalm 19:14) for blessing me with Your unlimited power and work in my life.
Thank you for Your graciousness and for Your copious blessing which You generously bless me with every day.
Thank you for Your kind gentle love and care that You lovingly bless me with every day.
Thank you Jesus for Your excruciatingly horrible sacrifice that You freely suffered so that I have a life free of the penalty of sin and amazing life eternal with You.
Please forgive me when I forget to thank You and send the Holy Spirit to convict me of this horrible sin so that my heart will return to joyfully being eternally grateful unto You.
Help me to remain blind to the desire of the flesh and deeply crave the fruits of the Spirit every moment of every day.
I love You and need You every moment of every breath of my life every day of my life.
May every day be filled with praise and unlimited love for You as You are the only one deserving of this treasure of my heart.
I pray this in the name of my big brother with whom I adore, Jesus Christ. Amen
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. Jeremiah 29:13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Have you ever participated in the greatest treasure hunt?
What is this treasure you may ask?
To find the most fantastic love affair ever.
How can you find this treasure?
To begin with sincerely ask Jehovah to come into your life and your heart. Then answer the door when He comes a knocking.
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends Revelation 3:20 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Sharing a meal with Jesus is the best meal you will ever have. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Then, be sensitive to His invitations.
He reveals Himself to us in many ways including reveal Himself in nature, through dreams, through the Bible and yes, sometimes even speaking with you in a quiet place.
One thing is for sure, once you experience a relationship with Him you will be eager for more.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You) for blessing me with so many ways You have revealed Yourself to me and for the countless times we have communed together. Those are the most precious treasure in my life. I thank You in the name of He who is the treasure of my heart Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

For the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 Holy Bible, New Living Testament Version
What made the place Moses was standing on holy ground It was not the place but who was in the place. And, the who that was in the place was Jehovah.
Have you ever stood on holy ground?
If you are a Christian you have.
Every time you are with our Heavenly Beloved, you are on holy ground. It does not matter if it is your bedroom or your bathroom or in nature or on the bus or in your car. Where ever you are with Jehovah is holy ground.
Now when the conversation is over, the ground is no longer holy because our Heavenly Beloved is no longer there.
So when any cult tells you any place is holy ground do not believe them.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You) that You bless me with the greatest treasure of all, spending time in holy communion with You, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is the greatest honour and gift of love of all which is my most valuable treasure. I thank you in the name of He with whom I treasure walking and talking with more than any other Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him. But if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away and gives it to those who please him. Ecclesiastes 2:26 Holy Bible New Living Translation.
Have you ever heard the old saying:”Money comes, money goes and in the end we are still unsatisfied.” It is oh so true.
I have seen many chase the illusive dream of having enough money only to be unsatisfied and want more. It is not the money they want but what the money can buy. Money cannot buy happiness is very true.
On the other hand, those that live a Godly life which is pleasing to Jehovah are always blessed with peace, love, joy, wisdom and purpose in their lives.
I know, having lived in both worlds. Doing Jehovahs will guarantees that not only will our physical daily requirement be met but our spiritual cup shall over runneth in abundance.
“Live to please God, and He will breathe on thee His peace. Seek His glory, and He will make thy heart His home. Do His will, and thereby good shall come to thee.” — F. B. Meyer
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah (God of knowledge) for blessing me with Your treasure trove of amazing knowledge. It has enriched my life beyond expectation. Please bless me with the opportunity and resources to share this precious gift with others. I humbly, gratefully request this in the name of the wisest of the wise Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.
But the loving kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him Psalm 103:17 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
To fear in this instance means to respect. To revere means to respect in awe and means to be lovingly obedient. Therefore you need to give the one in order to receive the other.
Think of it, have you ever given something to someone who is not only ungrateful but demanding?
I find the one goes with the other.
Not only are they ungrateful but they demand more and more while giving you nothing in return. Just ask most parents of adult children and grandparents today and they will tell you how that feels.
How much more is it insulting for you to behave in this disgusting behaviour towards our loving Heavenly Father?
The only time you talk with Him is when you want something from Him. You never say thank you and you never give Him anything in return.
Why would He bless you?
On the other hand, there are the children that are grateful to their parents for their help, are willing to help them and respect them.
Ask any parent of an adult child how it feels to have a child like that. How much more delightful do you think it feels for Jehovah to have such a treasure of a child like that?
Do you not think it brings Him great delight to bless a child like that?
Which one are you?
Be respectful to He who has an everlasting love for you. It came at a great cost. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (our most loving Father) for blessing me with adopting me into Your Divine family. I relish spending quality time with You my Father, Jesus my big brother and the Holy Spirit my mentor every day. I deeply appreciate Your Heavenly love and You accepting mine. In the greatest acclimation I thank You in my reverential big brothers name Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Matthew 11:28 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Religion says you have to jump through hoops to please your god. That way he will bless you and not punish you. I have seen it with catholics and buddhists alike. They pray to dead photos, paintings, wooden or medal statues all the while donating to their local church. When their prayers are not answered the priest always gives some stupid excuse (which is just another word for lie) that it is not the gods fault but your own because you ….. (they will find some reason to blame it on the sucker who paid for the god to answer their prayer).
Christ says:”Come unto me.” which means He desires a loving relationship with those with whom He suffered so much for.
Speaking from personal experience the closer I get to Christ, the more peace there is in my life, the more meaning there is in my life, the more security there is in my life, the more joy there is in my life. In short, the more Divine love (that can only be given through a loving relationship with Christ) there is in my life. That is the greatest treasure in my life.
Christianity is a lifestyle not a religion. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Oh thank you so immensely my loving Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for blessing me with a love so dear to my heart. It is the most valuable treasure You could ever bless me with. I love being in Your presence every day. I exalt You in the name of my big brother Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God’s will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven? Hebrews 12:25 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Be fair warned. Just as Jehovah gave ample warning to the Israelites before the hammer came down on them hard so too does He warn us. You ignore Him at your own peril.
Now I do not believe Jehovah will curse you with plagues however what He does is just tell you: “Okay, you refuse to listen to me and stubbornly insist on going your own ways, fine. I will just step back and allow you to reap the rewards of your destructive lifestyle.” Then you will suffer like you have never suffered before. In your suffering you will cry out unto Him to deliver you from these catastrophes but just as you turned your back on Him and refused to listen to Him, so too does He turn His back on you and refuse to listen to you.
Now if you repent with sincerity (repent means you admit what you did, admit it was wrong, ask for forgiveness and stop doing it), He is loving and will forgive you. You must however still pay the price for your wicked ways. So say you murdered someone and are on death row. He will not deliver you from the execution but when you die you will not face His eternal judgment for that crime when you sincerely repent.
I have seen it so much in my life.
Some folks when they were young they laughed and thought they were getting away with it but they paid a very heavy price for their sins in their elder years. It aches the heart to watch to happen to those you know but they are harvesting what they planted.
Turn your back on Jehovah and He will turn His back on you. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: I pray my Beloved Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense) that I may never be idiotic enough to turn my back on You. I have witnessed the terrible consequences of such foolishness and it fills me with terror. As well my love, our loving relationship is the most priceless treasure You have blessed me with and I would be left in a spiritual lonely desert if I was ever that stupid to turn my back on You. I sincerely request this in the name of the light that guides me into an ever deeper sphere of Divine love with You Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.
“Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, For the Lord God is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
This is especially relevant as our time of death comes nigh. The devil will come especially strong as the time to depart closes nigh. He will softly whisper subtle doubts in our minds if what we have lived for, sacrificed for and suffered for is real or is it really just a fairy tale.
At this time the Holy Spirit will come to our aid. He shall reminisce with us all the times Jehovah has preformed amazing feats both in our lives and through our lives. He shall remind us of the danger Jehovah walked us through. The times of trial and temptation when His strength guided us through this blazing fire. He shall remind us of Jehovahs gentle love that healed us of the deep slashes inflicted upon our hearts. He shall remind us of the amazing times of communion with Jehovah when every molecule in our bodies screamed with explosive love and joy. That this time that experience will last an eternity.
At this time we shall be filled with complete confidence in Jehovah and His promises unto us.
With our dying lips we shall thank Jehovah for the privilege of serving Him while in this fleshly body and hold out our weak trembling arms to embraced by our loving Heavenly Father as He joyfully welcomes us to the Heavenly home He has prepared for you, His child He loves so dearly.
Just as Jehovah guides our walk here on earth, so too shall He guide us to our Heavenly home and into His loving arms. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) for blessing Your darling children with reassurance that at the moment the breath of life in our fleshly bodies is extinguished you shall assign an angel to be instantaneously in the eternal presence of the the one who loves us as His most precious treasure, You. I exalt You in the name of my best friend with whom I yearn to spend an eternity walking with and talking with Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
