Kingdom Teachings by Frank King

Where are you currently building your treasure? In heaven or on earth? It should be no surprise that Jesus says you should build your treasure in heaven. Building a treasure on earth will bless you only in this life. But a treasure in heaven will bless you in this life and throughout eternity.
For a practical reason why you should build your treasure in heaven, consider these words of Jesus: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21, KJV). In other words, your heart will become one with the place where you build your treasure.  That means it’s not possible to preoccupy yourself with the concerns of this world, invest the most of your time and resources there, and at the same time make the Kingdom of God your priority. Why not? Because where your treasure is, that’s where your heart is going to be. The two cannot be separated.
Some believers complain about their lack of passion for God. “I’m not feeling it,” they say. Perhaps the problem is that they need to start investing more in the Kingdom of heaven. That’s because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

At times, you can find yourself in a tough place in life. Being a Christian does not exempt you from that happening. You may at times feel as though you can’t endure what you are going through. But in this episode, Frank King explains that God knows our breaking point better than we do. He will not allow us to be taken beyond that point. Accordingly, in first his letter to the church at Corinth, Paul the apostle writes:
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13, KJV).
Frank presents two points for us to bear in mind from this verse. One, God is faithful. He will not allow us to be tested above what we are able. And two, He will provide a way for us to be able to bear the test. These are two reasons we can endure what we may think we can’t when we find ourselves in a tough place in life.

In this episode, Frank King addresses the kind of preaching and teaching that helps believers to grow. In 1 Peter 2:2, Peter writes, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” So, why does he say you should do this? That you may grow thereby. The word “sincere” in this verse comes from a Greek word meaning undiluted, unmixed, pure.
The point is that believers can’t grow properly with diluted or watered down preaching and teaching. Yes, church leaders can grow a local church with watered down preaching. In fact, many people flock to place like that. But a congregation built on a diluted version of the Word of God will not be spiritually strong.
Based upon the words of Peter, any believer who seriously wants to grow properly will diligently seek to find a place of worship where the undiluted Word of God is faithfully preached and taught.
