Buy the Truth
“Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23 WEB)
Nothing is more precious than revelations about Jesus who is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. He is also who Wisdom represents in the Book of Proverbs.
Godly wisdom is stored up and reserved like precious treasure for the “upright” who are God’s children.
“For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.” (Proverbs 2:6-8 WEB)
To sell the truth means to give it away—discarding it as if there is anything else more worthy to trade it for.
When we trade revelations of Jesus away and choose to embrace ways of the world instead, we get conned into a bad deal.
Only knowing the truth can set us free. If we sell the truth, then we are left with unprofitable lies that leave us in bondage.
“Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom. Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.” Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob. Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis 25:29-34 WEB)
Esau was a man who was very short-sighted. He could only see what was in front of him. He was very hungry, and there was freshly-boiled stew, so he sold his birthright for a meager bowl of stew.
The birthright was something intangible to him so it did not seem real or valuable. He was a man who walked by sight and not by faith.
When you are feeling a desperate need, do you sell the truth and buy the world’s ways?
“All these revelations about Jesus are not practical or useful. Don’t get me wrong, they are good to know, but they cannot help me fix this problem in my life.”
A statement like that is like Esau despising his birthright, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
If you treat the Gospel of Jesus Christ as precious, God will be really pleased, for that is what He considers as true treasure. He who honors Jesus, receives honor because every good thing is found in Christ.
“For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26 WEB)
Can you see that God considers wisdom, knowledge, and joy as His precious gifts and priority, whereas gathering and heaping up (material wealth) is seen as a secondary matter?
You buy the truth by seeking out revelations about Jesus Christ, and making it your priority to know Him more.
When God gives you a rhema word, act upon it. Doubt it at your own detriment. God is good and His word is true. Buy the truth and do not sell it!

Scatter More Seeds and Increase
“There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself. People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.” (Proverbs 11:24-28 WEB)
In this world, there is a principle at work, and that is the principle of sowing and reaping: every seed sown and watered eventually produces a harvest.
“While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”” (Genesis 8:22 WEB)
When you give, that is an act of sowing, and it will have an immediate effect of blessing somebody, but it will also produce a harvest for you in due time.
The kind of harvest you reap depends on the type of seed you sow. If you sow a financial seed, you will receive a multiplied harvest of finances.
“Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. As it is written, “He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which produces through us thanksgiving to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-11 WEB)
Those who sow generously will reap generously. The apostle Paul confirmed this and encouraged believers to give cheerfully knowing that their gifts go on to bless many people, produce thanksgiving to God, and also abounding grace to the giver.
If we constantly receive but do not give, it will breed the love of possessions, and be detrimental to our own well-being. Hoarding, stinginess, and a scarcity mindset will fester in a person who does not give.
When we step out in faith to worship Jesus through tithing our income and giving as led by the Holy Spirit, we sanctify our hearts from the love of money.
It also has the secondary effect of sowing financial seeds to produce a harvest in our future.
When we give, we are actively putting our trust in the Lord and not in riches. Whenever we give, we can pray for the Lord to multiply our seed for sowing.
As God increases your prosperity and enlarges your coast, get excited about being able to sow even more than before.
I once saw a quote by Mark Batterson, “When God blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.” This is so succinct and wonderfully true. Covet the privilege of being able to give more.
Material possessions in this world are fun and nice comforts and privileges to have, but nothing beats the honor and joy of sowing into God’s kingdom, sponsoring the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and feeding those in need like widows and orphans, especially those in our household of faith. The rewards for these acts of righteousness will remain forever!

This is still the tweet on my profile that got the most number of likes.
We can all relate to failing to demonstrate God’s holiness in our daily walk.
Yet, there is always fresh grace and mercy available for us, even when we fail Him.
God is not surprised when you fail. Since before the foundation of the world, He knew that you would, and He already prepared the restoration at the right time.
If you condemn yourself and say you are no longer worthy to receive His grace, then you are truly left with no hope.
It is only by God’s grace that you can walk in a way that is worthy of your high calling in Christ.
The flesh profits nothing. Nothing good dwells know the flesh. You cannot appease God by ‘trying hard’ according to the flesh. It is always doomed for failure.
God loves you and His favor flows freely in your life.
Jesus’ blood is still effective in your life. You have been forgiven and you are the righteousness of God in Christ!
Stand up again, trust God for His grace again, and keep doing that.
The journey of life is actually short like a breath, but for us who are living in time, it feels like a long road ahead.
It can be intimidating to worry about the rest of your life, so just trust God day by day.
One step at a time, moving forward sustained by daily bread!

1500 Banh Mi + 100 Sweet breads +1600 milk boxes =
23 Million Dong total. If this is a cause that you'd like to help with, I can give you the lady monk's phone number and you can deal directly with her the next time you come to Vietnam. Just message me on Facebook. Special thanks to the other donors and to the volunteers. The Mental Hospital in Bien Hoa is very well known and I finally got a chance to visit.
