Worth More than Gold

 Isaiah 13:12: 

I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 

God is able make you as a person more precious than the most precious gold. That means your value in life is determined by your relationship with God. The closer your walk with God the greater your value. As you draw closer to God the more you increase in value/worth. This truth is confirmed in Malachi 3:17

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels..

When God has proven your faithfulness in your walk with Him, then He makes you into one of His precious jewels. In otherwords, you become a priceless asset to Him and as a result a priceless asset on the earth. Thus, the real value of a person in life is their value with God.

Furthermore, when the Lord says that He will make you more precious than the finest God, that means you will also have material wealth (gold) in abundance and yet all of that will not measure up to your actual value with Him. In Job 22:21-25, we find these awesome words from the Lord as a confirmation:

[21]  Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 

[22]  Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 

[23]  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 

[24]  Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 

[25]  Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 

It says to get acquainted with God (get to know Him deeper) through His word. Delight in obeying His laws which includes walking in the fear of God, then you’ll lay up gold as dust (i.e. wealth in excess). Gold will be to you like dust.

So what else is the essence of the message?

That do not worry about money (gold). You are potentially of more value than all the gold in this world. Your walk with God is a goldmine. So get bussy with God. Draw closer to Him daily in prayer, word study and a lifestyle of obedience to His instructions. Then as you do so, you’ll increase in value and also in substance.

In conclusion, no one diminishes in life walking with God. You only appreciate in value. The good news is that you shall become a person of great worth. Congratulations!

Meanwhile, it all begins with establishing a relationship with God by receiving His son Jesus Christ into your life as Lord and Saviour. Scripture says:

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God… (John 1:12)

Therefore, If you want Jesus in your life, Please say this simple prayer:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He shed His precious blood for my sins. Today, I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me!

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

 

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

 

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12)
