Buying the Priceless from God

UV 3221/10000 Buying The Priceless from God
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Revelation 3 v 18

It is said that the most valuable things in life like health, peace, love, wisdom, good will, joy cannot be bought with money. But the uni-verse above tells us that we can buy these with the currency of faith. Faith is the gold that is purified, tested, proven. We buy this kind of faith by appropriating the precious promises of God to which Christ is Yes, Amen and Lord. The process of “buying” from the Lord involves three steps- ‘b’ for believe in the promises of the Lord, “u’ for understand the word and apply it and finally, ‘y’ for yield to the will of God. We need to accumulate or amass this kind of spiritual wealth in our lives. It will stand us in good stead in this lifetime as well as for eternity. Neither satan nor thief nor rust nor moth can take away or destroy these. We can obtain our healing, our forgiveness, our security, our blessings, our longevity, our prosperity, our legacy through the use of such spiritual currency. The Lord will never tell us that any of these priceless and valuable things are out of stock with Him. Without these, whatever else we have in life, we are spiritually poor and naked. Jesus is called Lord Amen for He is the One who brings it to be- our spiritual nourishment, enrichment and enablement.

The white raiments referred to in the uni-verse are a metaphor for a lifestyle of obedience to the Word of God, of good works, of integrity and righteousness. Without these our faith would be considered barren, fruitless or ineffective. We can use our faith in the promises of God to acquire such accoutrements of faith that we will not seem naked and ashamed. Our spiritual clothes indicate whether we are rich in good works, rich towards God. Our good works are no longer filthy rags but a testament to our faith and our righteousness in Christ as our consciences and our whole beings have been washed and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb of God.

Finally, we need to “buy” from the Lord’ s store, eyesalve or ointment as the Balm of Gilead that will cure us of our purblindness, make us see and remove the planks in our own eyes so that our spiritual vision is not obstructed. When we look in the spiritual mirror of the scriptures, we will see ourselves as we are and then, we will be moved by the Spirit of God to think, say and do things that will make us conform to the image of Christ. We will see with clarity the purpose of life, the purpose of our lives, the big picture, the ultimate as well as immediate reality. Having seen the vision, we need to hasten to then go and execute things in such a way as to fulfill the vision the Lord has given us.
