Introduction

In the lives of many Christians, they do not cherish Jesus Christ as a treasure, not knowing that our Lord Jesus can heal our bodies. Many brothers and sisters, before coming among us, did not know that Jesus Christ is our treasure, did not know that Jesus Christ would heal our diseases. Jesus Christ is not a backup plan, do not treat Jesus Christ as a backup.

Last night, a sister called me saying her stomach was hurting again. That sister is very selfish, taking health supplements all day long, going back after praying and being healed, and then going back again, and then seeing a doctor. How foolish can people be, so foolish as not to know that Jesus Christ is a treasure? We are practicing according to the words of the 《Bible》. You see, the Israelites are not unbelievers, but what we see is curses one after another. Why? Because they do not have a better understanding of Jesus Christ, treating God as a backup. If we don't know how to use God's treasure, then this treasure becomes a bondage. Why should we make foolish choices? We must know that we must know how to use the treasure in our hands! This year, I will share with you brothers and sisters on the theme: Receiving a Hundredfold Return.

You know our God, He longs for us to receive a hundredfold return, but some people just don't invest, because they feel that investing will not get a hundredfold return. Our God is like a child's father. If you give your father candy, wouldn't your father give her more candy because he loves his child?

Brothers and sisters, we must be smart in our understanding. Many years ago, a sister came to me because she treated Jesus Christ as a backup, so she lived a very hard life. I served her wholeheartedly, but what I got in return was still a silly decision, leaving the church one after another.

We must be disciples of Jesus Christ, loving our parents cannot exceed loving Jesus Christ, loving our children cannot exceed loving Jesus Christ. This is what the 《Bible》 teaches, not what I said. Then the brothers and sisters feel that it is too strict, we can't handle it, so they leave after they are healed. It doesn't matter if they leave. We are also very happy to see our brothers and sisters living well, but the way they live is really miserable. No matter what the situation, I will come to serve, but when I ask them to serve, they say I have to go to work. Brothers and sisters, we must make a wise decision and be smart in our understanding.

Scripture

Jesus said, “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”(《Luke》18:29)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, give us a resolve to invest in your kingdom, so that we may receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the age to come. Today we want to forsake everything to follow you, make a wise decision, and be smart in our understanding, Amen!

Scripture Background

The young man in this scripture is asking: How can I get eternal life? Jesus said: You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not give false testimony; honor your father and mother.’ Then the young man said: I have observed all these.

Brothers and sisters, are you the same as this young man? Some people like to talk about these things.

But Jesus also said, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” The young man struggled, why? Because he was rich. Jesus said again: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God!” You must know that what is impossible with man is possible with God.

Have a Mind to Give It All

In fact, today brothers and sisters can't give up anything, and no one has gained a treasure. There are too many things people cannot do. Those who have businesses in their hands love their parents and family in their hearts. Today brothers and sisters, dare to challenge yourselves, do you really regard Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure? I have a good friend who has a very big business. His younger brother got sick, so he spent a lot of money to hire the best doctors in the world, but his younger brother still passed away. Later, he came to the church to seek God. Why did he seek God? Because he found that money was not useful. We brothers and sisters must know that it is difficult for rich people to put down their money and seek God. We must put down money, and there are very few problems that money can solve. There are too many problems that money cannot solve. How many people know that money cannot solve cancer or life and death? We must become smart in our understanding.

The sister who called me last night was because she had tried many methods, but they didn't work, so she came to me, got healed and went back, got healed and went back again, and then went to see a doctor. Jesus Christ can solve problems that we can't solve with money. We have to make a choice, whether we are willing to give everything for the kingdom of God. What else in the world can be compared with God? How great is the confusion that money brings.

Some time ago, the children we pastored came back to us again. Why? Because when he went home, his father asked him for money, and he broke down. I put all that I have at the feet of Jesus Christ, but many people regard Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure, but they don't treat it as a treasure. We must recognize Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure and deeply imprint it in our minds.

Put our fields, houses, children, and parents in the kingdom of God, and you will surely receive a hundredfold and eternal life. We must become a blessing to all nations, then we must have a giving mentality, that is, completely invest all that we have in this life. There is nothing in this life that is worth holding on to. If you still don't see through it, then it will be difficult for you to make a decision!

When family members are not well, we rarely think of Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure. He is the treasure that satisfies our whole life. All that a person has is himself, because the effect of a person's life comes from the heart. What the heart thinks, that is what happens. It is a completely giving mentality, not a religious act, that is, forsaking houses, children, and parents for Jesus, following a completely giving mentality, and will not fail to receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the life to come. My mother is a good testimony. Why? Because I give everything for God!

Make a Smart Choice

Therefore, we brothers and sisters must start to get out of the wrong situation. Money cannot help you solve problems. I feel very sad when I see those who rely on money, because money can solve few problems. Some people say that problems that can be solved with money are trivial matters. How many people know today that money cannot solve cancer, life and death, and disaster problems? We must know that those who rely on money are very foolish, because we are not clear in our understanding. We must become smart in our understanding. It turns out that Jesus said this: It is difficult for rich people to enter the kingdom of God. It is difficult to put down money. It is difficult to have a heart of relying on God.

A brother called me yesterday. He spent a lot of money in the hospital and a lot of money to find masters. When it didn't work, he came to me. He himself knew it didn't work, so he came among us to pray and was healed. Such things happened again and again, but at the critical moment, he went to the doctor with money again. I am not against him going to the hospital, but is it useful to have a gastroscopy and a bunch of examinations in the hospital? Haven't we done these things before? It is because it didn't work that you came to me, but you are so stingy with God and so generous with the hospital. Why put your hope on doctors? Why should we regard Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure? Because Jesus solves problems that money cannot solve.

To be a disciple of the Lord, you must make a choice, whether you are willing to forsake these for the kingdom of God? If we invest these in the kingdom of God, that is called a disciple of the Lord. After we invest in it, God allows us to receive a hundredfold. What else in the world can be compared with God? For those who do big business, if they don't see through it, the confusion brought by money is very great.

Forsake Family and Become a Blessing to the Family

Our family often brings us great confusion. If we don't have a forsaking mentality, a sister I led a long time ago came back to me. When she went home, her family asked her for money, and she was in a state of collapse when she came back, just because we couldn't forsake it in our hearts. We must be people with Mingding Destiny(命定神学). I came into this world, I want to live for this and die for this. This is not a disadvantage, but to receive a hundredfold return. We have treasures in our hands, but they don't work, because we don't treat them as the most precious treasures. I long for us to all know in our hearts to regard Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure, to deeply imprint this sentence in our minds, and to put it into practice in our lives. If you observe carefully, which one does not receive a hundredfold in this life? This is a definite thing.

For a period of time, I have been paying attention to one thing, paying attention to you becoming a blessing to your family. This is such an important thing. The devil has stolen so many blessings from your family, and you must make the devil repay double. We put our fields, houses, wives, parents, brothers, and children all in the kingdom of God, and you will surely receive a rich reward in this life.

We still have many unfulfilled Mingding Destiny(命定神学), we must become a blessing to all nations and a blessing to the family. If we want to do such things, we must have a giving mentality. How important this is! Put all that we have in this life to it. This is a very difficult choice. We must know that there is nothing in the world that is worthy of us to hold on to. I often talk about seeing through this life, seeing through life and death, and seeing through all things in life. If you don't see through it and regard money as a very important thing, it is difficult to make a decision. When our family members are not well, the first thing we think of is these things. We have Jesus Christ, this treasure, in our hands. He is a treasure that satisfies the needs of our family and satisfies the needs of eternal life.

We must know that all of man's problems are himself, all of man's problems are himself, because the effect of a man's life comes from the heart, and what a man thinks in his mind is what he is. If you look at things in your heart as very important, you will be very painful. Put down the male gods and goddesses in your heart. Last night I led a sister to pray.

In this helpless life, we do not rely on actions, but on a state of complete giving. You say that I have done according to God's words. I have done all the Ten Commandments, such as not worshiping idols, not stealing, and bearing false witness, but there is still one thing I have not done, that is, forsaking houses, or wives, brothers, parents, and children. If we serve God according to religious practices, I tell you it won't work. If there is a mentality of giving oneself completely, then there is no one who will not be rewarded. My mother got sick and did not spend a penny. It was all healed by prayer, because I gave everything for God. Let's do an account. If I send my mother to the hospital, it will be very troublesome and will cost a lot of money, and it may not be cured.

Determined to Offer Ourselves Completely

Some time ago, when I went back home, I saw a primary school classmate. He happened to be sitting opposite me. As I looked at him, the Spirit of God told me that he had been through a very painful experience recently. I was very moved, so I shared my story. After telling these stories, he greeted me before he left. I grabbed his shoulder, but I did not pray for him. However, the next day he sent me a message of faith, saying, You are the true God. When you grabbed me, the pain in my shoulder completely disappeared. Yesterday, I felt like my shoulder was about to break. It turned out that his parents had both passed away recently, after being paralyzed for seven years. He felt very helpless taking care of his paralyzed parents.

How sad it is to have no blessings in a helpless life. Can we remember our Creator before the days of decay come? If we value many things, such as useless wealth and face, how can we spend our lives in helplessness?

Brothers and sisters, I tell you, I have really found the answer. Take healing and deliverance, for example. The sister who gave her testimony today suffered from dysmenorrhea. Painkillers did not work, and she still suffered a lot, vomiting the contents of her stomach. Our brother grabbed his wife's leg, prayed, and she was healed. What could be better than this? We need a God who performs miracles, who can make the blind see, the lame walk, and heal the sick. If we obtain Jesus Christ, those who come to Jesus Christ will be healed. Is it worth investing in? Are we willing to have this kind of mentality? We have experienced so much, we must not play tips with God. We must put many things into God. God said to put all your eggs in one basket, whether it is your fields, houses, wife, and children, put everything in Jesus Christ, and there is nothing that will not receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the age to come.

Jesus did not say that you should give up everything and then live a life of poverty. Do you want the Jesus Christ in our hands to become the treasure in your hands? We must obtain Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure and consider all things as dung. Our Lord Jesus may become a stumbling stone for you. You either rise up or be stumbled. If you fall on this stone, you will die.

If we are going to be Christians, let us be outstanding ones, or else forget about it. Our God is among us and is the answer to all our problems. Are you willing to offer yourself completely? What is the use of religious behavior? Can we offer up our little lives? Can we offer up our whole lives? Offer up everything you can offer, and God guarantees you will receive a hundredfold.

Jesus is the Treasure in Our Life

The worst situation for a person is to think that they are living well, but what will you do when you need God? If we do not forsake, we will not receive, because you receive what you offer. Today, if you are willing to offer one, you will receive a hundredfold return. Today, in this generation, we are all in a spiritual world. Our thoughts and intentions are transparent before the Lord Jesus. God and the devil know what we are thinking in our hearts. Brothers and sisters, today, can we clearly know that we can receive great grace from God in all things? Make a smart choice today.

There was a sister whom we later misunderstood. Because at first, we served this sister early and late. Later, when we asked this sister to serve, she declined with various reasons, such as taking care of her children and going to bed at 10 pm. We were very disappointed at the time because she made a very foolish choice. Later, after teaching, which was also the first case I served, now this sister is willing to give up everything to serve God. I am very grateful to God because what is impossible with man is possible with God. Today, I finally see such a case, a sister who used to be very considerate of the flesh, today she is willing to give up everything to serve God.

Jesus took the twelve disciples and said that he was going to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man would be handed over to sinners to be humiliated, scourged, and suffer. The disciples heard this and seemed to understand. Jesus said that he would offer himself completely and become a blessing to this generation. If you are willing to obtain eternal life, today Jesus has opened a way for us. The words Jesus Christ tells us are not ambiguous or distorted. What Jesus says is what it is. If a person tries hard to preserve his life, he will surely lose it. God has opened a way of forsaking for us. Are you willing to imitate it today? Just like the Apostle Paul said, for the sake of Jesus Christ, I have forsaken all things, imitating the death of Jesus, and rising from the dead. Today, we must all come out of a vain life. If a person does not have the treasure of Jesus Christ, who can you turn to in the helplessness of your life? Only Jesus is our Savior. Brothers and sisters, today we must make a smart decision and walk the blessed path.

Today, if you want to be healed in our church, it is a very easy thing, but the key is what will you do after you are healed? If you are not willing to continue to increase your spiritual height, what else can you do? We must give up everything for Jesus Christ and obtain Jesus as the supreme treasure. God will surely fulfill His promise, a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the age to come.
