1 | claiming things in your life | Is 53:5 | SamtheShocker | 136417 | ||
Trust me they are not to christian children starving those that are starving don't belong to God check out what Jesus said this is what Jesus said in Mathew 6:25 I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing? 26Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds? I am just thankful that I drive a lexus and I just give God the Glory |

While God wants His children to prosper and drive nice cars and live in nice houses it's your attitude that really concerns me. Jesus said "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me--you failed to do it to me." When ever we fail to provide for those in need - for those who are hungry, we fail to do for Him. The strongest believer lives not so much by apprehending Christ as by being apprehended of him (Phi 3:12),not so much by knowing God as by being known of him (Gal 4:9); and this the least child is capable of. If they cannot stretch out their hands to Christ, yet he can lay his hands on them, and so make them his own, and own them for his own. These starving childrenyou are saying that do not matter do belong to Him. Another thing - you do not know if they do know of Christ or not. There are still thousands of God's children in third world countries that are starving. One way God provides for them is by having those who are blessed such as you and me send finances for food. In your words it clearly relays that you are burying your head in the sand. Be sure of your actions because there will be many who will say "Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking." But Jesus will tell them, "I've never known you. Get away from me, you evil people." Mat 7:22-23. prayon |

Where in the Bible does it say ... "While God wants His children to prosper and drive nice cars and live in nice houses"? John 10:33-34 is Jesus quoting Psalm 82:6 and read it carefully - it is sarcasm. Paul said covetousness is idolatry (Eph 5:5-7). "But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. But flee from these things" (1 Tim 6:9-11). "Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need" Phil 4:11-12. Bottom line ... Be content with what you have, God will provide for what you need and maybe sometimes more ... and He may take that away from you. |
