Treasures & spoils

The physical storehouse was also the treasury housing silver, gold, precious metals, precious stones, and costly garments—often the spoils of war taken from conquered battles.  These treasures testified to victory, dominion, and the wealth of a kingdom established by God.

In the New Covenant, Christ Himself is our treasure in earthen vessels (2 Cor 4:7). In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col 2:2–3). He is the Pearl of Great Price—rare, precious, and costly (Matt 13:45).  Pearls are not formed casually; they are produced through pressure, over time, deep within the ocean’s depths.  They are hidden, inaccessible to the casual observer, and require deep diving to obtain.  

These treasures are the mysteries of the Kingdom—revealed truth concealed from the world but unveiled to faithful sons.   These are the blessings of the deep and are not found on the surface.  Apostolic fathers must dive deep into the Word of God to uncover these pearls for their sons.  Discovering them requires risk, perseverance, patience, and honour. Fathers function as stewards of the treasury, entrusted to guard, interpret, and distribute these hidden riches responsibly.

One such pearl is the mystery of marriage—that earthly marriage was designed to reflect the union between Christ and the Church (Eph s 5:32). When this mystery is understood, it transforms how husbands and wives love, honour, remain faithful, and walk in transparency.  The world does not understand this mystery; therefore, it cannot steward it.  These pearls are spoils of spiritual victory—the secrets of the Father.   They are not for everyone.  Scripture warns us not to cast pearls before swine (Matt 7:6). Kingdom mysteries are reserved for faithful sons, vessels of honour within the Father’s house (2 Tim 2:20).

Jesus taught: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field… and like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” (Matt 13:44–46).  The man does not steal the treasure—he buys the entire field.  This speaks of total surrender and full commitment.  The Kingdom is free, but it will cost you your life.  Once the value of the mysteries of the Kingdom is understood, sacrifice becomes joy.  You gladly give up everything—not because you are forced to, but because nothing compares to the treasure you have found.

Achan stole the Babylonian garments, silver, and gold from Jericho and hid them in his tent (Joshua 7:21–25).  This misalignment cost the entire nation defeat against AI.  Rachel stole her father’s household idols–these were considered as valuable treasures.  This misalignment caused her death and produced a son of sorrow.

The currency of the Kingdom is honour. What opens the vault is not money, but the posture of the heart. Jesus Himself said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt 6:21). Joseph, Daniel, and Esther positioned their hearts correctly before God, and the treasures of divine wisdom became favour before kings.  This imparted what appears to be an unfair advantage, but it was simply the reward of those willing to pay the price. 

In the house of the righteous there is much treasure! (Prov 15:6). The Father is reopening ancient treasuries in this hour—but not to the curious, the casual, or the dishonourable. These vaults respond only to sons whose hearts are aligned, whose lives are yielded, and whose loyalty has been tested by fire.  The pearls of the Kingdom are not rewards for attendance; they are entrusted to those proven in obedience.  

This is why the storehouse is contested.  The enemy understands that whoever controls the treasury controls the future.  But God is raising sons who will not trade mysteries for convenience, nor inheritance for applause.  These sons will carry hidden wisdom, speak with uncommon authority, and govern with heaven’s intelligence on the Earth.

The call is clear: become a vessel of honour. Pay the price. Dive deep. Sell all. For those who treasure Christ above all else will be entrusted with the secrets that shape generations—and through them, the Father will establish dominion in the Earth.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
