This is why Jesus said :“ you will know the TRUTH,and the TRUTH
WILL SET YOU FREE ”.
If a person thinks that God wants us to have poverty, sickness, defeats,
this person is thinking wrong, indeed, this is not the will of God.
When one knows the truth, the Word of God, one knows that in fact God
wishes precisely the opposite. God wants to bless us, to make us prosperous
in all areas of our lives. In this way the Truth fill free a person
from misery, poverty, illness, failure, etc.
Some people say: “ Yes, but the Bible says that money is the root
of all evil ?!!!! ” No, the Bible does not say that money is the
root of all evil. That Bible says, in fact, that THE LOVE OF MONEY is
the root of all evil.
I Tim. 6:10 “ for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil,
for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows ”.
The "Love" of money is what is the root of all evil. If a person has
money and riches, they can end by being lost on bad paths, and suffer
many pains. Other people say: “ Yes but doesn't the Bible say that
it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for
a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God ?!!!!”
YES, of course the Bible says this. BUT the Bible does not say that
it is difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God BECAUSE HE
HAS RICHES, but because he has CONFIDENCE IN HIS WEALTH and not in God.
Mark 10:23-25 “ Then Jesus, looked around and said to his disciples:
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God.”
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again
and said to them, “: Children, how hard it is FOR THOSE WHO TRUST
IN RICHES to enter the kingdom of God ”.
It is difficult for the rich to enter into the Kingdom of God because
most of them " TRUST " their wealth and not God. Most of the rich don't
tie anything to God.
If God was against riches, Jesus would not promise blessings 100 times
over (in this lifetime), to anyone who leaves their father, mother,
children, etc, FOR THE LOVE of Jesus and the Gospel. Mark 10:29-30
Somebody might say:“ But then is it not true that we must give
grace to God for everything ?!!!! ” NO. Jesus said: “ Give
to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what is God's ”.
Attribute to God what comes from God, and attribute to the devil what
comes from the devil. God can only give good things, and the devil can
only give bad things.
John 10:10 “ the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy. I have come that they might have life, and that they
might have it MORE ABUNDANTLY ”.
Life in abundance is not to have illnesses, to be poor, to have failures
in life, etc... Life in abundance is to have health, to be prosperous,
to have success in life. Jesus came in order to give us life in abundance.
Poverty is a curse: it is not a blessing. Some people think wrongly
that poverty is a sign of HUMILITY. But poverty is not a sign of humility.
Jesus taught us to pray like this:
Matthew 6:9-10 “ Our Father in heaven..... Your will be done on
earth as it is in heaven ... ” Does God have poverty there in heaven?
NO!
Humility is a person who does the will of God without MUTTERING. Jesus
was very humble, yet he always had all his needs supplied. Indeed so
much so, that he was able to go through life giving other bread, money,
etc...
Right, we'll end there,
God bless you
Apostle Jorge Tadeu
