What is it Worth?


What you value you honor.

What is given without price is considered without value in some mindsets.

For example, salvation was given freely; in this, some do not value it as if it were earned. But easy comes, easy goes. There is not the same value when you work hard to attain something. So, in our carnal mind, sometimes we devaluate it. That’s what hyper-grace does as well. It devalues it when it cherry picks its own scripture and creates heresy. When we become a part of something, when we sow into something, when we labor for the thing, it becomes worth more to be a part of. What is value to you because you were not the one paying the price for it? We devalue what He really did sometimes when we don’t pick up our cross, so we never really see and become one with Him. Because if all that people say is just believe in all that He did but never do our part as a relationship requires, we are receiving a doctrine of devils. So we must see the value in what He did, the price to pay, so He wants us to partner with his sufferings, His rejection, and His being hated. This takes a Full Gospel. This takes enduring, so in the end you have a lot of value invested. How are you going to keep it if it’s so frivolous and does not have all your heart?

You can put your name on something, start something in the nations, or just give money and open charity works in nations, but they may not value it. Many lose the value on what Jesus did because they don’t sow into it, no labor for the right value. Have you ever heard, “Easy come, easy go?” Like if you are working your whole life for something, it will be of more value then just winning the lottery. You may waste it in a fast manner.

If something is earned by me, I can give it more value. This is why we need a balance and a full Gospel, all of Jesus parables, to understand this FREE gift so we don't lose it. But if someone gives something to you, then you don’t take care of it. In false grace, your heart can’t value something because it is all about what He did without considering your need to do your part. In a covenant, in a marriage, it is a partnership, unless you’re a gold digger and you’re just after one thing, the not going to hell. But Jesus saves, not just saves us from hell but to destroy the works of darkness.

Paul boasted on everything he went through for Jesus and not on everything that He did for Jesus. Add the right value on what is given to you: Your calling, your identity, your ministry, and so on, will not have value if you are not partaking in the cups that He drank.

Go purchase what He is giving to you through endurance. Pay the price of going through because this is the way you are showing Him what you value, what you go after. Do you really value TRUTH? If you do, you go after it. The more you see the value, the more you invest in it. Dead people do dead works. Nothing has eternal value for them because religious activities are not God’s plan for us. It’s not do this and don’t do that. It’s partnering in the valuable things, like His heart, His pain, His rejection.

If you get a false Gospel, you can have false converters. You need the full Gospel to get full converters! People change the names of their congregation but never the foundation or the heart. They don’t show any value for the right Gospel because they don’t preach it! Have you counted the cost? Did you sit down and think about the cost of following Him? Then when you really are showing value, you are showing that you are really for Him.

For some, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is too much. They don’t see the value of it. It is worth losing all. It is worth what Jesus said, forsaking all. Do want to hear a man to water down and devaluate our Master’s plan? Let’s talk about salvation. He saved us so we can become Him on Earth and destroy the works of darkness. God is saying, “I did not save you just because you need to be saved but because I have a plan here on Earth for you to do.” People talk about Jesus but never tell them they need to die for His sake. They have relationship with themselves. Never did the Gospel of Jesus Christ say, “Easy come.” Everything that He gives to you, you need to pay the price to keep it. Unless you don’t value it, you will let it go easily.

You are never really going to see how great is the investment until you die! The Kingdom of God is the retirement plan for eternity. We are so more carnal that we are so worried about investing in a future on the earth and value our life now that we plan and live for it. This is not the Gospel. You invest now and you reap in eternity. If you really believe that Jesus is the One, we would never follow any other. It is time to walk this Gospel with value! How much is blood worth?

In Matthew 25:14-36, Jesus calls people that don’t value what He gives “a wicked person.” They did nothing with what the servant put on their hands. That wicked servant never valued what was given to him so he lost it. The unprofitable servant was thrown in hell! That relationship between them never increased. He gave that talent to the servant and was expecting him to increase it, but he did nothing with it. What are we doing with what he did?

In Mark 14, the woman with the alabaster box valued Jesus so much that she poured everything, every drop of it, at His feet. What religion calls waste Jesus calls value! People act so carnal because they don’t see any value on the oil. You can do religious duties all the time, but can you really value Him?

People don’t see the value in others that are full of oil. So they don’t value Christ in others. They are devaluating what God is always validating. The religious people were putting more value on the poor than on Jesus.

Jesus is saying, “The things that have value are the things that I put value on,” but religious people always will say, “It is a waste.” They have no kingdom mind. Judas got mad and went back to the religious system, trying to get something from them, because in his eyes, he got nothing from Jesus. The religious system wants to steal and kill. Think of Judas! If we don’t see the value in each other, we will become like Judas.

The woman did not even try to save the box. She broke the box. She did not try to save anything. She valued Jesus more than her possessions. Extravagant investment! There was nothing more important than Him. Are you going to be mad like Judas when you see somebody doing what you are not willing to do? Pour out all there value on Him.

Don’t call anything waste unless your eyes are able to see like Jesus sees.

In Luke 7:36, one of the Pharisees wanted Jesus to go to his house. Sometimes what bothers you is one specific part of the Gospel. What part really bothers you concerning the Gospel? The woman was weeping and crying, and they got mad at her. The oil went down His body. She wiped His feet. Then they questioned Jesus, “If you are really a prophet you would know who this woman was.” Now, they were not mad at the wasting but for receiving that woman. But they hated the woman because she valued Jesus more than her reputation. Their focus was on sin, not on mercy. She was already received because she valued her God. Will you value what He values: the least of these?

In John 12, it says the oil was very costly, and for a burial you always need oil. But they forgot about what Jesus kept telling them was His purpose. All they thought about was the price.

He sees our value. We need to see and value Him back. When we value one another, He pours more value (His oil) in us. Because that means that we are ready to die! Let us be living and anointed for daily burial. Be the one that was never forgotten by Jesus! That woman was everywhere in the four Gospels, and God made sure to make her memorable because she put all her value on Jesus. She valued Him. Don’t give for any other reason but only because you value Him. He has commanded you to love with all your heart, mind, and all that is within you. He paid it all! Are you buying the field? Are you just using the field to play and build your own identity? Are you valuing the treasure in darkness? What profit is it if you gain the whole world and all its false value and lose the treasure of life?

Mathew 25:14-36; Mark 14:1-10; Luke:7:36-40; John 12:1-11
