Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: Matthew 12:1-2
“At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the cornfield and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day.”
Second lesson: Luke 12: 22-23
“And he said, unto his disciples. Therefore I say unto you. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.”
Golden text: Luke 6: 20
“And he lifted up his eyes on His disciples and said Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.”
2.1 Material wealth is vanity
Beloved, have you now realised why faith must always go along with work? Had man believed in God, he would have equally believed in His words.
The problems with man is that he believes and strongly depends on material wealth. For this reason, the rich are not interested in the activities of God's Kingdom. This accounts for the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ as quoted for our Golden text.
One who has faith in God has no business with the world. And as many as are interested in the kingdom of God, have no need for the carnal needs of this world. This is because whoever is inclined to materialism cannot love God. Consider the case of the Apostles of Christ. Before they joined the service of God, they had to forsake all the wealth they had accumulated. This they did with the full hope of inheriting the kingdom of God.
Today, how many are ready to forsake their wealth in pursuance of this kingdom of God? How many even believe in God? Many are ready to kill or even sell 'parts of their body to acquire wealth. You must no more remain in ignorance that the quest for material wealth puts you away from God and so you cannot inherit His kingdom.
The scripture reveals that, "Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the kingdom of God". In the light” of this, all they who have forsaken the material things of this world can be sure of inheriting the kingdom of God. It was for this cause that you are warned, "Today if ye hear His voice, harden not your hearts." (Hebrews 4: 7). God is desirous that you all should inherit this kingdom. Hence He does not spare any effort telling you all that you need to know about this kingdom. It is only when you toy with His word that you fail to realise its potency. And if unfortunately you miss this kingdom of God, your blood will be upon your head.
2.2 Our God is unique and a provider
Our God is not the God of confusion. He has advised us to desist from bothering about what we should do to have salvation He is so merciful that He demonstrates constantly to us what to do so that we may inherit the kingdom of God. The choice to perish or be saved is now yours, but it is not God's will that you should perish. This is why He has encouraged you to be identified with this kingdom.
Man loves what God hates and hates the things God loves. Pleasing man therefore tantamounts to displeasing God. But God is very happy with those who obey His instructions and so provides for them always. These are those who our Lord Jesus Christ advised not to take any thought for life, what to eat or wear. Therefore the criteria for inheriting the kingdom of God is abstinence from material acquisition and the lust thereof.
What in this world can you compare with the kingdom of God? Cars, houses, wife, husband, children, education, political appointment, indeed all the worldly things can never be compared with the kingdom of God Whereas the kingdom of God endureth for eternity, all the things of this world are temporal. They easily fade with time and indeed, with the speed of lightning.
2.3 Why you suffer
Brethren you are aware that it is your lack of belief in God that accounts for your insistence in acquiring material things of this world. The proliferation of churches in the world does not indicate that man believes in God, rather it is occasioned by man's lustful acquisition of the material wealth. Were man to believe in God, the world would not have been suffering today.
God knows that man does not believe in Him, in spite of how he shouts and calls on His name a million times in a second. That is why He criticizes our deeds. He says: why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luke, 6 : 46). In the world today, is there anybody who is practising the word of God? Even here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, is there any body that practises the word of God? Only the Holy Father practises God's word.
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the kingdom of God. You are aware of this, yet instead of practising the word of God which is our main thrust here, you keep scrambling for wealth, wife, children, husband and all such carnal things. Can these assure your salvation?
Now that you prefer to seek for wealth, have you not read in the scripture that, Blessed be ye poor for yours is the kingdom of God? Are you sure that your thought, words and deeds are such that will enable you to inherit the kingdom of God?
2.4 Christ is the only way
Except you do that which is pleasing before God, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Besides, you should note that for you to please God, you have to practise all the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. In John 14: 6, He has said that He is the way, the truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except through Him. Christ is the only acceptable way to God, the Father. He is the only avenue through which man can obtain everlasting life.
Recall what happened between Christ and the tempter, after He had fasted for forty days and forty nights. The temper told Christ that He should command those available stones to become bread, that He may eat after the fasting. But He answered and said. “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. The tempter was, not satisfied with that reply so, went further to tempt the Lord. He tried to convince our Lord Jesus Christ to jump down from the pinnacle of the temple but the Lord told him that it is written that the Lord God should never be tempted. And when the tempter took the Lord to a mountain top from where he showed Him all the wealth of the world. He told Him all the wealth would be His if He would worship him. The Lord Jesus Christ rebuked him and made him know that it was his place to worship and serve only the Lord God. (Refer to Matthew 4: 1 10).
Today, are you following the foot path opened by our Lord Jesus Christ? Are you not placing the carnal wealth above God? For this and the many more wrong things you keep doing, what hope have you for eternal life?
It is not a disputed fact that a lot, are easily deceived with the gift of cars, houses, food, clothing, titles etc. With these, you carelessly tell lies against God, not minding the repercussion. This indeed is the root cause of the problems facing mankind today. It is rather unfortunate that you are seriously mindful of the things that will not, at any time, bring to you anything good. Decide now within yourself on what to do so that you may not miss everlasting life. Note that you have constantly been told that this kingdom is exclusively preserved for the poor in heart.
2.5 God never fails
Our God is one of accomplishment. As soon as He undertakes to do anything, same will be done in the shortest possible time. His pronouncements are true, because He is the Truth. Do not mind the deed of the people of the world neither should you follow them. But at all times, be mindful of practising only the words of God Realise that the ways of God's children are always at variance with that of the worldly people. The people of the world depend on the abundance of wealth they have been able to accumulate but the children of God believe and depend on the word of God, since the later constitutes life everlasting. The carnal wealth of this world is nothing compared with the reward intended for you in the kingdom of God.
You should know that there were many people who had been seeking for this kingdom but could not see it. They could not see it because of how they sought for it. They sought for the kingdom of God with money, cars, houses, wives, children, husbands etc, oblivious of the fact that the kingdom of God has no affiliation with carnal things.
2.6 Materialism obstructs eternal life
Today, you have been adequately informed that God's kingdom is exclusively for the poor in heart. This therefore implies that you have to let go all the things of this world. Remain free and calm, so that you can receive the Holy Spirit and the power to believe and have faith in God. Except you do this, you cannot serve God wholeheartedly. And if you do not serve God in this way, you cannot enter into His kingdom. In other words, if you are still interested with material things of this world, it is evidently clear that you are not interested in the kingdom of God
2.7 God's kingdom is worth everything valuable
The kingdom of God is a priceless treasure. Recall the parable of our Lord Jesus Christ which likened the kingdom of God unto a treasure hid in a field, which, when a sensible man finds it, hides it, returns home to sell all he had in order to buy the field. Compare what our Lord Jesus Christ told a certain ruler who sought to know what to do in order to have eternal life. I am also telling you now to sell all that you had acquired, distribute the proceeds to the poor and you will be worthy of this kingdom. (See Luke 13: 18 - 23) If you are mindful of the material wealth, you will not have entry into the kingdom of God. The scripture at Matthew 19: 24 warns that no rich man shall enter into the Kingdom of God. As many as come here with the mind of seeking for wealth have failed woefully. They cannot possess the kingdom of God. The paramount things in the mind of every one who loves himself should be to inherit this kingdom. Though you may possess the entire world, it is nothing compared to having the right of inheritance of this kingdom. It grants you peace, joy, salvation and life eternal.
2.8 Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
This is the long expected kingdom which Nebuchadnezzer saw in his dream and was interpreted to him by Daniel. Do not, for any reason whatsoever, toy with this kingdom. You have been thinking of how to overcome the world. Today, you have been given the clue to it. You are to refrain from the love of the things of this world, if you must inherit the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God does not consist in meat or in wealth. It is made up of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Roman 14; 17).
2.9 Piety is the only key
The condition for entry into God's kingdom is to be as pure as He that has called you. If you allow yourself to be hopelessly entangled with materialism, same will unfailingly usher you straight into eternal damnation. Unfortunately, in the entire world, no one seems to be ready to inherit the kingdom of God, for no one is ready to refrain from the love of the carnal things.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Perfecter of our life and indeed, our most worthy model, had put food to naught when He fasted for forty days and forty nights. That is why He could overcome the tempter when he tried to lure Him to fall.
Now, having been aware of this, why do you allow yourself to be led astray by food and the allied carnal needs of this world? Our Lord Jesus Christ had greatly taught us to shun all the things that are likely to debar us from entering into the kingdom of God. This explains His statement “Hereafter I will not talk much with you for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me”. Truly, upon his coming, if the prince of this world should find that your heart's desire is money, he will use money to buy you over to himself. Whatever you deeply cherish is what he uses to buy you over to himself. But should he discover God in you, he will not be able to stand you, and then you will be quite safe in God's hand.
2.10 Follow my example
With God as your Leader, you will always defeat the prince of this world. It is said that obedience is better than sacrifice. If you are desirous of having eternal life, start now to discard materialism and do not rely so much on it. I am not only teaching you but I also practise what I teach. You are a living witness that I have no business with the things of this world. All I hope for, is the kingdom of God. I implore you therefore, to follow suit. I can stay for as long as ten years or more without food and will not be bothered. What is food and other carnal things of this world compared to the kingdom of God? It is this fervent belief that causes me not to be mindful of the things of this world. I started fasting when I was two years old and have since held fast unto it.
The things you so value are but vanity to me. I do not know what you call mother, father, uncle, aunt, or a relation of any kind. All that interests me is the kingdom of God. I do not own a house, car, or any material thing. These things are nothing to me. All I am concerned with now, is to bring to utter consummation, the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ that, "when the Holy Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth... " (John 16: 13) Today, have you not seen the truth? I have laid the truth bare unto you. The problem is only that you have rejected it. You have intentionally blocked your ears, obviously closed your eyes and have shut your mouth against this truth. Except you acknowledge the truth as I have taught you and similarly practise it, you will not inherit the kingdom of God.
2.11 Food kills your spirit
I am a complete fruitarian but you still take delight in eating meat and fish Even the sight of a life goat, cow, dog, fish, anything edible, forces you to salivate. Do you not know that these things account for your spiritual death?
First lesson: Matthew 12: 1 - 2
“At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn: and his disciples were all hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day. “
2.12 The work of God is enough food for his elects
Having read through this passage, are you told that it was our Lord Jesus Christ that had plucked the corn? It was rather the disciples because, like some of you today, they valued food very much. Recall what our Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples, when they invited Him for a meal after His encounter with the Samaritan woman. He said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of (John 4: 32). They then pondered over that statement questioning themselves if somebody had brought food for him to eat outside their knowledge. Knowing their minds, he declared:
“My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes; and look at the fields, for they are white already for harvest”. (John 4:34-35).
You can now realise that food does not help one who is desirous of doing the word of God. The same is the case with all other material things of this 'world. If you love the mundane things of this world you cannot please God.
Apart from the symbolic 'Last supper' which our Lord Jesus Christ offered to the disciples, have you read in the scripture that He had ever shown much interest to sit at table elsewhere? He had no other food to eat than the word of God. Even when He fed the multitude, there is no recorded account that He joined them to eat. The kingdom of God, you should note, is not an embodiment of food, but righteousness, peace, love and joy As many as bother their minds with the thought of food and drink cannot enter into the kingdom of God, Man's most dreadful enemy is food and drink and these separate man from God.
Again it is recorded that our Lord Jesus Christ had attended a marriage feast with His mother at Cana in Galilee and that when the wine had finished, He obliged His mother and turned water to wine for the multitude to drink. Have you been told that he had tasted the wine? Food indeed, has done a great deal in defiling you, to the extent that you now become uninhabitable by God. You are the house of God and for God to indwell you, you must, of necessity, be clean.
If you desire the companionship of God, purify yourself and remain a worthy house for Him to indwell. Shun the love of food and drink, keep yourself clean and He will make His abode in you Food is an enemy of the spirit, that is why brother Paul wrote:
“Meat for the belly and the belly for meat but God shall destroy both it and them Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body”. (1st Corinthians 6 13)
2.13 Money is the worst tempter
As many as love food, clothing cars, etc, have no share in this kingdom of God At times you may be tempted to ask, 'why then did God create money? It was meant to be used for the alleviation of the suffering of the poor. But you have to seek first the kingdom of heaven and all other things will be added unto you. If you let go all the mundane things of this world and hold fast unto righteousness, you will never lack. After all, God is not poor. He is the Creator and Owner of everything in existence. Why then should you lack?
2.14 God will always provide the means
As a man of God, you are billed to take care of the needs of the less privileged. In your preparedness to do this, God will definitely bless you with what to use in accomplishing this divine assignment. This does not imply that you have to go about looking for money and the mundane things in the name of satisfying the needs of the poor. If you fix your mind in these things, you are perishing. Forget about the things of this world and face the work of God devoted, so that you may not be tempted.
Do you know why Judas Iscariot was made the treasurer for the disciples? It was so because he was of the world. God does not need money. Of what use is money to God? Money is meant for the poor. They are the only set of people that have the need for money. The kingdom of God is not lacking in anything. It has everything in abundance. It is devoid of sorrows, sickness, hunger, death and all such things. It is a place where joy happiness, satisfaction, peace, etc. abound.
Above all, there is no man-made thing, or earthly god in the kingdom of God. Only God and His righteousness reign supreme in this kingdom.
The disciples of Christ could not enter into the kingdom of God at the beginning because they had no Holy Spirit though their Master was a bonafide member of the kingdom. But on account of love, He sanctified Himself so that we might be sanctified through the truth (See John 17: 19).
Brethren, the kingdom of God is not the kingdom of the world. It is not a place where money, houses, wife, husband, children position and all such mundane things are the order of the day. All that you have to pursue here is the word of God in complete obedience to God. This is so because the word of God is good health, love, peace, joy and all virtues for all those who must inherit the kingdom of God. As many as practise His words have no problem in life and to them salvation is sure.
Second lesson: Luke 12: 22 23
“And he said unto his disciples. Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.”
2.15 Man is never satisfied
Brethren, ever since I posed a challenge, that everyone in this kingdom should practise oneness, how many of you have tried it? The reason for this is not far-fetched. You refuse to practise oneness because you are materialistic. When you are not even contented with the abundance God has kept at your own disposal, how then can you give out a part of it to another person or even share equally with your brother or sister? It is on this premise, that I have advised you to let go the material things if you must inherit this kingdom, for same has, to a great extent resulted in the fall of mankind. It also causes the love of God to elude man.
The rate at which you scramble for the canal need of this world is a clear indication that you have not yet started seeking for the kingdom of God. How can you assign a lion to watch over your sheepfold, when indeed the lion needs the sheep, to devour? You cannot practise common purse, because you are materialistic and very greedy. You have to turn a new leaf to be able to do the work of God. First of all, you have to sanctify yourself before you can be fit enough for God to indwell. Realise that a new wine must be put into a new wine skin lest the wine skin breaks and the wine spills out (see Matthew 9: 17).
Beloved, God is sufficient to you and so you have no cause to bother yourself over anything. Food is vanity. Neither does clothing serve you any useful purpose. The ultimate thing to do is to surrender yourselves completely to God and allow the Holy Spirit to indwell you, for by so doing, you are sure of inheriting the kingdom of God.
2.16 Shun material wealth
You cannot enter into the kingdom of God with wealth, rather, with faith. It is impossible for a servant to serve two masters at the same time. He must hate one and love the other. In the same vain, you cannot love God and the carnal things of this world. It is a must that you desist from the love of one and hold firmly onto another. If you love God and surrender yourself completely to Him, you would not have anything to do with the world. And above all, you would not lack; and would be living a problem free life.
You are the abode of God; but one thing is sure, if you do not sanctify yourself, God cannot indwell you. He only indwells those that are pure in heart. It is said that the kingdoms of this world have become the throne of God and His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever (Revelation 11 : 15) This indeed has brought to an automatic end, all the negative deeds, thoughts and words of men, since the kingdom of God requires absolute righteousness. It is pertinent to disclose to you that whatever you observe being done here are as directed, indeed done by the Holy Spirit Himself. For this cause therefore, nobody has the right to question whatever is done here in this kingdom.
Be you reminded that the Holy Spirit has no need for the carnal needs of this world. All carnal possessions are valueless before Him. Man therefore must of necessity stop loving the things of the world. I dare say, it is wrong and indeed an act of share foolishness for one to be interested in the carnal things of this world. It yields no one any useful purpose. In the kingdom of God, there is no hunger, thirst, sickness, death, lack. All that is prevalent here is joy, peace, love, and for as many as accept to enter into it, eternal life is sure.
2.17 What a lucky generation
You should be exceedingly glad because the scriptures are fulfilled in your time. Revelation 21: 3 states:
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
These words have manifested in our time. You are a living witness that when the Father says, 'Go, all is well', it will surely be so. Even in cases of impossibilities, solution are readily achieved with His pronouncements.
Again you are a living witness to the Omnipresent nature of God in our midst. He is physically seen everywhere, in the world and in all other planes of manifest; at the same time. He goes about doing His work quietly, but efficiently. He does not make any noise and so could rightly be referred to as 'The Silent Guest'. He has not only come in this last dispensation, but with His mission to change and make mankind fit to inherit the kingdom of God. It is therefore your duty to make room for Him to indwell you and perfectly change you. This indeed will only be possible when you sanctify yourself. Sanctification, you should note, comes only after one might have refrained from sin. For one to refrain from sin, one must be able to detect sin and at the same time, forsake all the carnal needs of this world.
As you are aware, the love for material things accounts for why you cannot please God. Food, cars, money, husband, wife, children etc., serve you no useful purpose, rather they constitute your stumbling blocks. If you do not forsake them, you will forever remain a slave to these things.
2.18 Appreciate God's gestures
Examine the happenings in the world today. If you give a man one thousand naira, the person will worship and praise you. If you rent out your house to somebody, the tenant will worship you and comply strictly to your rules, not minding how stringent they may be. In fact, whatever a man does to ease your burden that person will in turn want you to worship him. For God, upon the much He has done for you, do you worship or even thank Him? Many have never remembered to say "Thank you Father", yet they are obviously enjoying the life given to them free by God.
The sooner you disentangle yourself from the carnal needs of this world, the better it will be for you. This is because you are sure to live a life that nobody will understand or pass negative comments on you. This indeed will enable you to be appreciative of God. Do not bother yourself about the carnal things of this world. But be rest assured that the Holy Spirit knows what is good for you and will adequately provide same at due time.
Attempting to satisfy your flesh, for your information, is detrimental to your spiritual self. Take the case of Adam as an example. Ever since God sent him packing from the Garden of Eden, he has never experienced a settled and a comfortable life as before. This was because he had yielded to the demands of the flesh in spite of the word of God. He invested all his time labouring for food, clothing, and the allied mundane things. Today, you have seen that the quest for these things account for why you have refused to hear and practise the word of God.
2.19 Fasting is important
The step to worshipping God, is dry fasting. And should you want to enter into the kingdom of God, the first thing to do is for you to sell all you have, distribute the proceed to the poor and follow God. You must sell these things otherwise they will form the pivot of your mind and so debar you from serving God actively.
Golden text: Luke 6: 20
“And he lifted up his eyes on His disciples and said. Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. “
2.20 No place for material things
How do you understand that Bible portion? Now that you profess that you want to go into the kingdom of God, how will you achieve this? Assuming you are being called up today, where will you keep your bed, shoes, chairs, girlfriend, boyfriend, children, wives, houses, cars etc.? When our Lord Jesus Christ ascended, He did not carry any baggage. He knew, that He would not leave this world with anything; hence He did not accumulate any wealth for Himself. He had no wife, children, house, car, etc. In fact, these things are of no use for any one who is desirous of inheriting the kingdom of God.
God has acknowledged the fact that there exists some poor persons in the world. But He wants them first, to work hard and qualify for the kingdom of God before being blessed with material things as a compensatory measure. As you are blessed with these things, it is expected that you distribute them to the less privileged ones. Can you now see that the children of God have no problem? They in actual fact have no need of anything. As you distribute these wealth to the poor, you must remember the admonition at Matthew 6: 3-4.
“But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 'That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
2.21 Anything done for God is not lost
Whatever you can give out to the poor, be assured that you are saving it in heaven for yourself. Many people do not know the blessings obtainable from almsgiving. Were they to have known that they are increasing their store house in heaven, no man would joke with almsgiving. Whatever type of wealth God keeps at your own disposal, distribute it to the poor so that you might have it in abundance in your storehouse.
The thing in this world, which people greatly value is vanity. But the greatest treasure and that which every rationally minded person should look for is the possibility of entering into the kingdom of God. I am now emphatically proclaiming, that those who own the kingdom of God are the poor people. This is certainly so, because they do not place much premium-on the luxurious things of this world. They are satisfied with whatsoever is placed at their disposal. And they will happily share same out to others that are also in need.
When Elijah was taken up, what did he carry with him? If you want to follow God, forsake all the material things of this world. Learn from the advice of our Lord Jesus Christ to one of His disciples, who had requested that he be allowed to go and bury his late Father. The Lord said to him "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead” (Matthew 8: 2 -22).
Recall again, what happened when John the Baptist was killed. John who was Christ's first cousin, had his head chopped off. When his disciples rushed and told Christ, what did He do? He still went about preaching the word of God, not bothering about the death of His first cousin. (Read Matthew14).
This was a practical demonstration, which He taught His disciples. He was not bothered about John's death because He was convinced that John had completed His assignment on earth.
2.22 The most important assignment
The work of God is to save souls for Him. Christ was doing this, when He went about preaching the gospel. Again you can remember when He visited the city of Bethany. Martha and Mary were in the house. Martha vehemently rejoiced at seeing Him. And after welcoming Him, rushed in to prepare some food for Him. Mary however sat tight by Him, listening to the gospel. When Martha complained, He rather commended Mary's act, for she had chosen rightly the word of God, as opposed to preparing food for Him. (Read Luke 10: 38 - 42). After that episode, nothing is heard about Martha anymore in the whole Bible.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had practically demonstrated that the things of this world are worth nothing. This is deduced from the event of His crucification, when he willingly gave up His life as a ransom for the remission of the sins of mankind. Such love for man cannot be adequately estimated. Recall the words of Apostle Paul.
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” (II Corinthians 8: 9).
This is what is being expected of every Christian. Give alms else you have derailed from `the footprint of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2.23 Worthy examples for all
When Peter, James and John went and gave the hint to our Lord Jesus Christ that Judas Iscariot had diverted money from their common purse to build a house for an harlot, He did not say a word neither did he do anything to show annoyance. This indeed proves to you that He was not mindful of the carnal things of the world. If I may ask, when eventually Judas Iscariot committed suicide and died, what happened to that house he had built? What did he do with the thirty pieces of Silver that he had collected to betray the Master? You that have refused to learn any lesson from the above instances, where lies your hope for eternity? The children of God have no need for the carnal things of this world.
Let me clearly reiterate that wealth is not meant for any other set of people but the poor and the needy. Those of you who are scrambling for wealth, be warned that you did not come with anything into this world, and of a truth, you will not leave this world with anything. Compare the children of God who have no outstanding need for the carnal things of this world with those who are scrambling for wealth, even to the extent of depriving another of his wealth at gunpoint. Of the two, who is wise? The children of God are wiser because they, their hope is based on the kingdom of God. As such, it does not matter to them what you choose to do with the carnal wealth. To them, the only treasure is the hope of inheriting the kingdom of God.
Brethren, it is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient onto the wise man. Those that have ears, let them hear, may God bless His holy words; Amen
THANK YOU FATHER
