Who are you banking with? How much money do you have there? Banks and financial insurance companies are used to store people’s money so that they may withdraw it in times of their needs. You have to deposit the money you have now in order to have it in the future when you need it. Currency depreciation, economic growth of the country, political instabilities may affect the investment you make with the financial institution. If things go wrong you might end up losing all your investment.
You can invest your riches in the kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God cannot experience political instability, and its economy will never collapse. You need to bank, invest, save, store your resources in the kingdom of God in order to have them there for your future. Working for God, serving in his kingdom, using your resources for his glory is the way of laying up your riches in heaven. You need to fully dedicate your life to God. Jesus declared the greatest and primary commandment of God as to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matt. 22:37). Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, and you will get it there in times of need. *Your heart and mind will always be where your treasure is*.
Mat 6:19-21 ESV (19) “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, (20) but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (21) For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
*Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven*.
