“Peculiar Treasure”
Saturday, August 24, 2024Key Verse
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:” Exodus 19:5
Text — Exodus 19:1-6
Message
To be a peculiar treasure means you are very special to God. A treasure is something that is precious and of great value. This means you are precious to God and God values you. On their way to the promised land, God gave commandments through Moses to the children of Israel to guide them. He said if they obeyed the voice of God and kept his commandments then they will be a peculiar treasure unto God. The first thing is to keep the commandment of God then, God will make them a peculiar treasure.
To be a peculiar treasure, you must first obey the commandments of God. A disobedient child cannot be a peculiar treasure neither is he special to God. Telling God you are sorry for disobeying Him and promising never to do it again will attract God’s mercy and forgiveness. Then you will become a peculiar treasure.
