My fellow brethren it is with heartfelt pain that I write this. During the time of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ many people were suffering and living in poverty. Jesus would sit and dine with what were called “commoners” or sinners because in those times being poor was seen as a sign of sin. A believer or child of God then was classified as an aristocrat/nobles. We know of Pharisees and Saduccees, they were of this category and would not associate themselves with commoners who were thought to be sinners. My heart is grieved and broken that even today in churches if you are poor, you are not considered or prayed for or ministered to. As an Apostle of God I am deeply deeply taken back by my fellow Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists and Teachers of the gospel that look at a man’s pocket instead of their soul. Christ Jesus made his mission and intentions clear from the onset in Luke 4
- The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],
Clear and out right the poor is deserving of hearing the gospel. The world looks at a man’s status in society, yet God looks at a man’s heart!
Clear if as a man or woman of God (Christian), you segregate anyone for being poor then you are yet to be saved and the spirit of God is totally absent in you. Paul had to lower his eloquence and intellect and rid himself of aristocracy, so that he would be able to preach and reach out to the poor.
1 Corinthians 9:
[19]For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;
[20]and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;
[21]to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law;
[22]to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
[23]Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. Striving for a Crown
Often in society today the poor are neglected and the well up stand out. Brothers and sisters this should not be so in the church of God!
If God considered your fat tithes and offerings, then the grace of Christ Jesus would mean nothing!
This being said those that can be of financial support in church or over the man of God’s vision keep on the good work and run with it, and those that can’t be of financial support because they are poor, God will raise you- yet both deserve the same treatment!
Christians, focus on the goodnews of Christ Jesus and be blind to peoples pockets PLEASE! Most men or women of God have gone astray because they only focus on those who give(money) and forsake those that don’t have. Let us stay away from the love of money as prostitutes!
The gospel is not about money or wealth but it is about teaching Christ Jesus to lost souls so that they be saved!
The mission is to set captives free, restore sight to the blind and not I repeat it is NOT to get riches/wealth out of people’s sweat and tears. I support giving in church and am a tither myself but I denounce this system of favouring those that give more or have fat pockets from those that give less or nothing.
In conclusion pure love has no price yet it is the most richest and valuable possession in our lives-this is the gospel!
