God Reaffirmed You as a Dearly Held Treasure

God Reaffirmed You as a Dearly Held Treasure

"And today GOD has reaffirmed that you are dearly held treasure just as he promised, a people entrusted with keeping his commandments," (Deut. 26:18)

Can you hear what God is saying about you? If He could declare this about the Old Covenant believers, how much more those of us who live under the New Covenant—redeemed by the blood of His Son? God has reaffirmed that you are His dearly held treasure.

You matter deeply to God. You are not a number or a random statistic. God knows your name, He knows your dwelling, and He even knows the number of hairs on your head. You are seen, known, and cherished.

With this understanding, passages like Romans 8:32 take on new depth and meaning:

"If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us?" (Rom. 8:32)

That is how important you are to God. He held nothing back—not even His Son. If He gave you His best, what won’t He gladly and freely do for you?

So begin to live from that truth. See yourself as God sees you: a person of immeasurable worth, valued enough for the sacrifice of His Son. You are that precious. You are that loved.
God has reaffirmed you as His dearly held treasure—walk in that confidence.

Reflection
God calling you His treasured possession is not just a promise—it is your identity. Let His voice define your worth above every other voice.

Prayer
Father, thank You for calling me Your dearly held treasure. Help me see myself through Your eyes and walk daily in the confidence of Your love. Amen.

Have a fruitful day,
(Dr.) Emmanuel Okoro

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Daily ration, daily routine

Daily ration, daily routine  "GOD said to Moses, "I'm going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day's ration. I'm going to test them to see if they'll live according to my Teaching or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they have gathered, it will turn out to be twice as much as their daily ration." (Exod.16.4 - 5) What you do daily determine what you become permanently. God had told the children of Israel that he was going set up rules and procedures for them to follow. In this day and age, we would have said structures and systems but rules and procedures communicate the same intentions.  So God says to Moses in response to the complaint against God about not having enough to eat. God says He will rain bread down from the skies but these bread are to be taken by the people on a daily basis and on the sixth day, they will take a double portion. Take only what the day requires. This will set them in ...

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff "GOD saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people and so readily gave them what they asked for. Oh yes! They picked those Egyptians clean. The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents. There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock." Exod.12.36 - 38) These verses bring to mind the parable Jesus told about the wheat and tares. The Bible says the farmer planted good seed but at mid night while men slept the enemy sowed tares among the good seed. When he was asked if the tares be uprooted, he told them no, but that they should grow together. The operative word been grow.  "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt.13.30 ) The israelite came out of Egypt not just ...
