GOD AND MONEY [1]

 ‘If you denounce publicly what you desire in secret, your desires will never see the light of day.

With that said i want to let readers know I am not here to condemn the use of money, neither am i here to tell you that the pursuit to get money or amass money is against good principles. My views are from how God blesses you with money if indeed HE does.

The bible says money answers all things. What a classic by one of the wisest man to live. Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. [King James Version] To understand where i am going and want you to go with me, i first have to present you three characters in the bible. One, the prophet, two, the teacher of the word of God and three, the wise man.

Now, the prophets; these people were the special mouthpiece of God, though God in His highways spoke through mere men like when he spoke through King David in the messianic psalms. That was one way that proof David was indeed beloved of God. These prophets were neither rich nor given to affluence. They were more associated with penury that abundance. Seeing a major prophet like Elijah in those days was a sight to behold in shock rather than in opulence. Let us also go to the new testament of the bile. We see a man described by our lord and savior Jesus Christ, the man John the Baptist. Read with me; Matthew 11:7-9 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. ‘More than prophet”. Note before Jesus assessed John, he first let us know that his appearance was nothing to write home about. See the biblical description of John the greatest in the book of Matthew 3:4 “And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. In the old and new testament, money, affluence and opulence played no role in the work or personal life of these prophets.

The teachers are the disciples and the apostles, able represented by Paul, peter and john.

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
