Rich pagans and rich Christians are fond of insulting pagans and Christians in need.
Those who are financial rich believe anyone who need financial assistance is accursed and pagan.
The rich have become so filthy and deluded and arrogant that they have started to think wordly riches means Heavenly riches.
What did our Eternal Daddy and Teacher Jesus think of the rich?
Matthew 19:23-24 (MSG)
As HE watched him go, Teacher Jesus told HIS disciples, “Do you have any idea how difficult it is for the rich to enter God’s kingdom? Let ME tell you, it’s easier to gallop a camel through a needle’s eye than for the rich to enter God’s Kingdom.”
The rich are so comfortable and deluded by their riches that they have started to think they can buy their way into the Kingdom of God..
The Lord Jesus shared the story of Lazarus and the rich evil man with us…
Luke 16:19-31 (MSG)
“There once was a rich man, expensively dressed in the latest fashions, wasting his days in conspicuous consumption. A poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, had been dumped on his doorstep. All he lived for was to get a meal from scraps off the rich man’s table. His best friends were the dogs who came and licked his sores. “Then he died, this poor man, and was taken up by the angels to the lap of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell and in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the distance and Lazarus in his lap. He called out, ‘Father Abraham, mercy! Have mercy! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to cool my tongue. I’m in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you got the good things and Lazarus the bad things. It’s not like that here. Here he’s consoled and you’re tormented. Besides, in all these matters there is a huge chasm set between us so that no one can go from us to you even if he wanted to, nor can anyone cross over from you to us.’ “The rich man said, ‘Then let me ask you, Father: Send him to the house of my father where I have five brothers, so he can tell them the score and warn them so they won’t end up here in this place of torment.’ “Abraham answered, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets to tell them the score. Let them listen to them.’ “I know, Father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but they’re not listening. If someone came back to them from the dead, they would change their ways.’ “Abraham replied, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, they’re not going to be convinced by someone who rises from the dead.’
The so called rich man on earth was revealed to not be rich after all. His ill gotten and vile riches was filth, rottenness and not even available for him to use or spend in hell. If your riches won’t be available to you to use in the grave or hell then it is not riches but vanity upon vanity?
Is riches a curse then?
Luke 12:16-21 (MSG)
Then HE told them this story: “The farm of a certain rich man produced a terrific crop. He talked to himself: ‘What can I do? My barn isn’t big enough for this harvest.’Then he said, ‘Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll gather in all my grain and goodsand I’ll say to myself, Self, you’ve done well! You’ve got it made and can now retire. Take it easy and have the time of your life!’ “Just then God showed up and said, ‘Fool! Tonight you die. And your barnful of goods—who gets it?’ “That’s what happens when you fill your barn with Self and not with God.”
This rich fool in the narration above was also a deluded and selfish man. He died and his filthy riches was inherited and wasted by a degenerate sinner.
Luke 6:38 GIVE, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
The Lord Jesus Christ COMMANDED us to give. Yes, to give is a COMMANDMENT to both the poor and the rich in Lord Jesus.
The rich men in the illustrations above were not rich towards God & men partly because they DID NOT know that it is a commandment and eternally profitable to give to the needy for God sake.
This is why it is very important for us to Obey the voice of God. If the evil rich men had received and obeyed this commandment of Christ Jesus, they would not have perished. Their wealth was not even available to them in hell to use, what an unprofitable thing it is to disobey God and be wicked!
John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
God gave the rich, EVERYTHING they have FOR A PURPOSE!
Some rich fools even say, they got all their riches by their own sweat, wisdom and strength so no one in Heaven and on Earth can force them to give without them willing to do so by themselves!
James 1:10-11 (MSG)
And when the arrogant rich are brought down to size, cheer! Prosperity is as short-lived as a wildflower, so don’t ever count on it. You know that as soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat, the flower withers. Its petals wilt and, before you know it, that beautiful face is a barren stem. Well, that’s a picture of the “prosperous life.” At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.
If the rich if this age will not humble themselves and obey the voice of God to give and share part of their riches and prosperity with pagans and Christians in need then they will continue to perish like fools because if they are not rich towards God by being compassionate and helpful, their riches will become filthy and be inherited by the evil who will waste it!
1 Timothy 6:17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
Today we have Christians who the evil one is afflicting and thus they are struggling financially and we also have Christians who the Lord God Almighty Jehovah Elohim HIMSELF has made rich in order for them to help their Brethren in need. But these evil rich Christians are hoarding their riches and being WILLFULLY wicked to their Brethren.
Yes, we have many Christians today who prefer to give to those who are rich like them instead of helping their brethren or pagans. They prefer to pay 309% tithe instead of 10% tithe God demanded, they prefer to donate 15 brand new cars to a pastor and church who are already overflowing with riches instead of helping a child of God who is truly in need of some food!
The rich evil man was excessively kind to his family and friends and very wicked to Lazarus. This rich evil one in addition to being good to his family and friends should have been also compassionate to Lazarus.
Some rich are thinking, the Lord Jesus commanded us to give but HE didn’t tell us who to give to. The Lord of lords didn’t instruct anyone to help poor people so these rich fools only give to the rich, what will happen is that they will perish, miserably like stupid goats for their wickedness because that was also their error! They chose to be compassionate to only their rich friends and family but ignore the poor and needy.
Matthew 25:31-40 When the Son of GOD shall come in HIS glory, and all the holy Angels with HIM, then shall HE sit upon the throne of HIS Glory: And before HIM shall be gathered all nations: and HE shall separate them one from another, as a Shepherd divideth HIS sheep from the goats: And HE shall set the sheep on HIS right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on HIS right hand, Come, ye blessed of MY Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave ME meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave ME drink: I was a stranger, and ye took ME in: Naked, and ye clothed ME: I was sick, and ye visited ME: I was in prison, and ye came unto ME. Then shall the righteous answer HIM, saying, Lord, when saw we THEE an hungred, and fed THEE? or thirsty, and gave THEE drink? When saw we THEE a stranger, and took THEE in? or naked, and clothed THEE? Or when saw we THEE sick, or in prison, and came unto THEE? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto ME.
The above scripture show that some of us will need food, clothes, shelter & money while some of us will have excess food, clothes and shelter to share with those in need!
It means it is not a curse for a Christian to be extremely rich, neither is it a curse for another Christian to lack food, clothes and shelter!
Many rich Christians assume other Brethren who have financial needs are accursed and Beggars!
The Lord Jesus Christ said some Brethren will lack food, clothes, shelter and other basic necessities at a point in their lives and it is the duty if those who have excess riches to help and share their prosperity with those Brethren in need!
Instead, we have Christians today who are living in poverty, homeless and in rags just because the Christians who Abba Father gave mighty riches to help are too busy helping the rich and ignoring poor Brethren who really have genuine need of food, clothes and shelter!
What will happen to rich Christians who only give to rich Christians but ignore poor Christians in need? ETERNAL DAMNATION!!!
Matthew 25:41-46 Then shall HE say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from ME, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave ME no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave ME no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took ME not in: naked, and ye clothed ME not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited ME not. Then shall they also answer HIM, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto THEE?
Then shall HE answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to ME.And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
So, if you are fond of giving foods ONLY to those who have foods already but chose to WILLFULLY ignore those Christians or pagans who have genuine need for food, clothes, shelter and other necessities,, REPENT OR BURN FOREVER IN THE. LAKE OF FIRE!
You don’t even need to be very rich to help your Brethren in need. If you have enough to eat and you notice your brethren lack food and some things, help them for Christ sake. God will replenish your barn and increase your Prosperity and Posterity!
Some Christians also say they hate people asking them for help because they love to help willfully and hate it when then one in need ask!
Do you know that you can be so busy that you won’t notice your Brethren have needs?!?
Yes! It’s not wrong for a Brethren to ask another Brethren for help; if you can help that Brethren, please do so instead of grumbling about them being the one to ask you.
Sometimes the one in need is so helped & hid by God that they always appear full and abundant, they really are abundant and Prosperous just afflicted by the evil one.
Sometimes you notice someone in need, sometimes the one in need must asks! The most. Important thing is for us all to have enough to live comfortably and share with those who lack and those who don’t lack!
Listen, first hellp Brethren who have needs before giving to Brethren who have enough.
Yes, it is holy for us to also give gifts to those who have excess or moderate riches.
Now after helping Brethren who have needs and Blessing Brethren who have enough, some rich Christians are still puffed and arrogant and too proud to obey other commands of God
Giving is not the only commandment of God, so don’t give and get comfortable living in sin and making little or no effort to do other will of God.
Don’t share your Prosperity with the needy and ignore God!
Be rich towards God and humans!
Matthew 19:23-24 Then said Teacher Jesus unto HIS disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
The rich are often numb and wicked and stiff just because they are comfortable & ASSUME they lack nothing. They love to talk too much, thinking their prosperity is eternal.
The only way to make your Prosperity and Posterity Everlasting is to do the will of God ; be compassionate to the needy and do all other will and purpose of God.
James 2:15-17 (MSG)
For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
Don’t just go around bla bla mouthing about the Goodnews and intentionally ignore those who have food, clothes and shelter needs. This is why it is okay for people in need to ask for help because you may really be busy talking and ignoring their needs. If you minister financial support to someone who really need it, they are likely to obey the Gospel of God faster and with more zeal.
Remember, you CANNOT buy your way into the Kingdom of God but you can INVEST in the Kingdom of God and your Eternity!
You cannot buy Eternity but you can build treasures in Eternity.
By helping those in need, regardless of whether they are your friends or family, you are sending gift packages by the Holy Spirit up to your future life and abode in Eternity!
Your earthly Prosperity is to help your Eternal Posterity!
Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Dont just invest in your family, friends, employees, stocks, lands and landed properties on earth. Invest ALSO in the Kingdom of God by being generous and compassionate to thy poor Brethren and pagans with your prosperity!
1 Corinthians 15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Invest in the Kingdom of God by funding the works of God and helping Brethren in need.
Don’t be selfish and greedy and wicked by thinking of yourself, your family and your rich friends ONLY!
Think of your Brethren and pagans who have genuine needs and help them too!
If you obey the command of God to give to those who are truly in need, you will be rich towards the Lord God Almighty Jehovah Elohim HIMSELF and have treassurres and rewards in Eternity.
But if you choose to disobey the voice of God and bless only your family and rich friends, you will end up like the rich fool, you will end up like a goat, you will end up like the rich evil man who refused to hellp Lazarus, you will become an ETERNAL BEGGAR, begging for a drop of water and mercy while undergoing eternal punishment and damnation in the lake of fire!
Revelation 3:17-20 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art WRETCHED, and MISERABLE, and POOR, and BLIND, and NAKED: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear MY voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with ME.
So, if those who have excess and overflowing riches in this world will continue to be puffed and to insult those in need by calling them beggars and all manner of evil names instead of obeying Master Jesus Christ and using their riches to help the people of God and the world, just like the rich man who was wicked to Lazarus on earth, they will also end up in the lake of fire and become ETERNAL BEGGARS while the riches they left on earth will not follow them to the grave or hell but be wasted and mismanaged by evil sinners!
When you use your Prosperity to help the needy, you are automatically helping and investing in your Posterity!
If you have enough clothes, food and shelter for the next 6months and beyond, you are RICH, PROSPEROUS and qualified to share your prosperity with those really in need of it.
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
It is not a curse for anyone to have needs. Don’t look down on people, whether they are pagan or Christian just because you notice they have needs.
It is sick for you to live in abundance and ignore those in need, there is eternal consequences and punishment for this act of human wickedness.
✓ The Lord Jesus asked for water when HE was thirsty; John 4:3-7
✓ Our Faithful Shepherd asked for a Colt when HE needed one; Luke 19:30-31
✓ The King of kings asked a fig tree for food because HE and HIS disciples were hungry; Matthew 21:18-19
✓ Our Wealthy and Rich Apostle Jesus Christ had need of money to pay tax and HE sent HIS Disciple to collect it from a fish; Matthew 17:25-27
✓ The Alpha and Omega Jesus Christ asked for a room when HE needed one for the supper; Mark 14:13-15
✓ God sent Joseph of Arimathea to sponsor the burial of our Wonderful King; John 19::38-42. Yes, it wan not Mary or the 11 Apostles that buried our Eternal Lord and Saviour, it was a distant disciple Abba Father sent to take care of the burial needs!
✓ People supported the Lord of lords ministry on earth; Luke 8:3
✓ Brethren sold their properties and resources to feed and provide for one another in love; Acts 2:44-45
✓ Brethren provided food, clothes and shelter for Brethren; Acts 10:6.
The Monarch Jesus Christ would have chosen to rather perform miracles to get the water, donkey, burial, necessities, fig, room, coin HE needed. In fact, it would have been more profound and beautiful if the Lord had received these provisions by miracles DIRECTLY from Abba Father Yahweh HIMSELF instead of asking a 3rd-party, yet HE chose to ask, why??? Because of love!
It is love and beautiful to ask and share your resources with people.
God made your resources overflow for a reason, one of the reasons is for you to share your prosperity with fellow Brethren in need; so that your Posterity can be everlasting. Stop being arrogant and insulting Brethren who have needs because it is righteous to have needs in Christendom!
The harlot at the well and the fig tree that refused to obey the voice of God will now spend their eternity in the lake of fire. They refused to obey the voice of God and use their Prosperity to help their Posterity!
