I was once ignorant myself to the Ministries today that seem to be very wealthy and still believe that there are some churches that are selling God for profit. But I do believe that they will be exposed for their wrongs sooner or later. Scriptures tell us not to take the name of the Lord our God in vain and that God is not to be mocked, so when we say God or call on Him we better be doing it in spirit and truth, because woah unto whom so ever does it you shall be exposed.
I’ve come to the knowledge of this because of a Bishop to whom I love and respect and trust very much now. It took nine years yes, but I can say with bold assurance cause I’ve tested and tried everything about this man in the spirit by fasting and praying to God. I know without a doubt he is the real deal a loving, compassionate, honest, kind hearted, merciful; a true man of God and is surrounded by people just like himself. I don’t know him personally, but I am connect to him spiritually. And he is the second man in the world I’ve ever been connected to in such a way, I see beyond the man but his soul and spirit.
I’ve always asked for the spirit of discernment and truth, because my heart has lead me in some bad situations especially when it came to trusting people. I was always led down the wrong path by people, my innocence tested. So I put on the wisdom of discernment and truth and walk in faith trusting no one but God himself asking the right questions like is it wrong to be a Christian and rich? I waited for the right responses. I was led by the Holy spirit to search the scriptures. 1Timothy 6:1-10, 17-18 Teaches about false teaching and true riches. We must all agree to the teaching of Jesus Christ and not be swollen up with pride and yet know nothing, having an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words that bring on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions, and constant arguments from people whose minds are corrupt, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. Godliness with contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it. If we have food and clothing, we should be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life. Matthew 6:24 No one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:33 Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. What things you ask? To first understand this phrases you have to read Matthew 6:25-33 Jesus said, don’t worry about your life, what you should eat, drink or wear God would provide for you just as he does the birds, flowers and grass. 1King 3:13God said to Solomon, “I will give you what you have not asked for-both wealth and honor so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.” God had given Solomon because he didn’t ask for wealth, honor, revenge on his enemies or long life, he asked for a wise and discerning heart. God blessed Solomon.
For all the people who are complaining about the wealthy ministries in todays world, have to read your bible and gotten educated about the true wealth, which is the wealth given by God? Proverb 10:22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it. Psalm 112: 1-3 Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their house, and their righteousness endures. forever. Anything that God doesn’t bless doesn’t prosper, especially using him for evil gain. No matter how long it seems to last it would be exposed for what it is all about and be destroyed. God cannot be mocked neither his name be taken in vain.
Luke 12:15 Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed, because a person’s true life is not made up of the things he owns, no matter how rich he may be, Jesus said. Psalm 62:10 If riches increase set not your heart upon them.
I do believe that if anyone has wealth yet has no love according to scripture you have nothing. What profit a man that he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Those who are on the Lord side there light will shine and shine in the righteousness of God himself and those who are not shall be destroyed in one way or the other.
