I have heard something I thought I would never hear. Jesus was rich because he had a single garment that could not be divided.
Now please tell me how many people you know who are rich because of the single garment they wear? No it is their cars, houses, jets, holidays, clothes and way they treat people.
Who do you think are following the man who had a whole nation calling crucify him, the rich and powerful or the poor and righteous? Now you can dress up faith however you like, but in the end you will meet Jesus and it is his word that matters.
The person who spoke to me most in my life was my grand mother who lived a simple life, went to church, but she loved me from the heart. Her life was one of obligation and duty, without much money but that love shined out in all she did.
That is following the Lord. But would this person be happy in these glitzy celebrety show bizz preaching of wealth and blessing without the cross? They simply would not recognise Jesus being present at all. And that sums it all up.
Judgement will fall unless people start repenting. This is not a game or some innocent give and take.
When the **edited for language** fan it will not be pleasant. The Lord cannot be mocked. But where is the fear or respect. Preachers who have lost fear and just want to rip off believers and exploit the desire for success and arriving while giving nothing in return.
Some will defend this reality, but they have no spiritual insight or cannot see the rot they are spreading.
But if the gospel is being preached the joke is on them. You can never defeat the truth of the Lord, or those who are called to the Kingdom. Amen.
