RICH and POOR their legacy

It is implicates that the rich will pay for the poor, thus the poor will assumed that the rich will pay for them. This do happened when we observed in a relationship dinner or get-go-together table that it is in the “norm” that the rich or well to do people will have to pay for those that are not so affluent in their material possession.

Try to understand where are our self-importance, self-esteem and the tribute that we, human being have to conceive within our perspective mind on this culture and practice. As I observed we justified between the poor and rich in the manner of their outlook and thus create a fundamental personality and behavioural patterns on the supposedly rightful prerequisite and standard that need to outline and originate from the situations.

I observed at time in the many occurrence of blessing of giving, at frequent the one that receive can be view as an insurgency or comprehend in tantamount of taking advantages and eventually develop into “robbing” in long run association. The nature of blessing as incurred to us as a good “Christian” is to cultivate the “freely gives and freely receives principle” as denote in bible through the early Christian days of Apostles. The poor always stuck to their poverty because they have a very puny and shortsightedness mindset that conditioned them to be poor that scrooge a charitable and helping attempt into their existing wretched. They do not recognize that in every receiving there must be giving to elevate them from their existing material status.

They need to bring to an end this denunciation of poverty and feeling inadequacy that would dash and drown them into the influential submission part of the flesh that repress them to feel little in modesty to accept this negative predicament that influence their life ahead. They need to extend foresight and lean-to hope in God promises to visualize their opportunity and a footstep into goodness forward. Future is the hope of all mankind especially in the promise of God to bring us up into successful and come out victoriously in all circumstances. It is a trustable and confidence step forward from the existing state into a triumphant living to progress and bring about betterment in existing standard of living.

Remember,

“He who is slow in his work becomes poor, but the hand of the ready worker gets wealth.” – Proverbs 10:4

I believe by the grace of God, through that faith and sustenance in assurance of the promises of God that transform, we as Christian put and do emphasis our hope and faith in our almighty God. Claiming the liberty in Christ and winning over our flesh on the general words of God in all expect of our challenges pushing out our conceivable attitude out from poverty and negativity pace of pre-conceived inheritance in the inferiority complex of poverty.

“In all hard work there is profit, but talk only makes a man poor.” – Proverbs 14:23

“The lover of pleasure will be poor man; the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth.” — Proverbs 21:17

God through His words is always testing us in challenging appointment, situation and journey miracle to happen. It is only that we are able to channel all our mind, spirit and soul to draw on into that power.

Through that power in us will therefore spawn the peace of God and abundance favor to inculcate success and overflow of confidence in our Christian life on that faith towards God. This will further fore-told on the wealth and health that God has promise us as His esteem children.

“The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.” – Proverbs 10:15

Remember God is a supreme Creator who knows the formation of the beginning and the end. As we are directly pull into His mighty will we on our free-will have to act on it to combine, materialize and formulate miracle happens. Our path will be smooth and being made ways by His Spirit in that confidence and invisible shield on every circumstances that impound in head-on.

We need to invite to release faith and spiritual liberty from our existing poverty and needs. It is only through prayer of God and persistency that we release the mercy of God to change our existing circumstances that bonded us.

God words as promise that when He releases His words and promise, the words will not return void and sadness in it. On the contrary it will be an overflowing of joy, blessing and explosion in Spirit of God to claim victory in every situation.

“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” – Proverbs 10:22

Therefore with the governing God’s words cloaking in our life our Spiritual essence will not set us to be a captive but be excellence in the walking path within our Christian walk. This will further strengthen our conviction thru godly living and on this transformation to righteousness and ultimately the plan of God is to fulfill all our needs.

“The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.” — Proverbs 22:2

Does “Nepotism” happening in the Church of God?

This area under discussion is very interesting, in the governing of the church. Whether it is “Nepotism” or “Cronyism” this principality ultimately leads to some sort of favoritism practice in the church of God.

Santo Paulo in bible do express that we lend our assistance first to the household of faith.(Gal 6:10) Also Paul in his letter to Timothy do advice that he should also need to manage his own household before render service to God’s household.(1 Tim 3:5) A simple contextual theology if you cannot support a small God’s family within your existing household, how then Timothy is going to manage the community of God’s household. Apart from that Jesus Christ in the Gospel sternly express in the second commandment of God that we should seriously loves our neighbor as ourselves.(Matt 22:39) Consequently, carry out his exemplary leadership quality and illustration of a “Good Shepherd” within the God’s Kingdom. (John 10:11) So in that understanding of that state of God’s affairs what is actually mean “continuously favor of God?”

I have too shared numerous occasions on the favor of God in this blog and would like to shift your mind off to the spiritual mind, the mind of Christ. (Rom 7:25, Rom 15:6, 1 Cor 1:10, 1 Cor 2:16)  Why not let us shift our contemplation and feeling into the psychic and thinking of our God how He defined favors in His very own eyes.

The favoritism of God is about His very own people in our believing faith, reliance and practice of righteousness with our soul. He definitely cronies all His promises and certainty that he has covenant in us. A truth that He loves us, a reality that we are his “peculiar people”, a fact that He liberated us from the clutches of adversary of past from the Pharaoh’s hand and delivered us in wilderness and into the promise land.

The very fact that through our own defiance and lack of knowledge to God existence, God still continue to forgive us and places his abundance grace and mercy throughout the century in watching over us.

It is in the New Testament when teenage years Jesus taught us that in definite fact we are fellow brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of God that has come. Jesus goes beyond the law and profess that we are all neighbor to each other in our perception, therefore not only as a neighbor but interrelated in one-another by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore it does grief me that the condition that some “fellow Christian leaders” does not understand this leverage of God’s laws and began preaching into the division and slice up the Kingdom of God which supposal to be unified into the Spirit of God.

Indeed God does cronies us as His own people and nepotisms us through the embracing of the Spiritual essence in God’s spirit we are endeavor into an immense family of God. Jesus concluded, “Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? (Matt 12:48, Mark 3:33)

Not many people understand the favoritism, cronyism and nepotism of God and only rationalize it through the order of existence passing world. Never realize that it is a preparation of “living conviction” in us to worship to a highest calling of God in the “gathering of the saints” in future congregation of God in judgment.

Beware of only letting your own wife, relative, sibling, uncle and auntie, nephew and niece and relative to only serve God and his wonderful awesome glory in the “House of the Father”. While neglecting the others “spiritual relations” such as our spiritual father, mother, brother and sister to give their effort and time to serve in the God’s congregation and array in glorifying Him through worship and praise.

Remember the “worldly nepotism” is much harder in judgment of God rather than “spiritual nepotism” in the praise order of God’s commandment.

We are God’s people all have His favor and membership into the Kingdom of God in all area of five folds ministry.
