About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

GOD WANTS US TO PROSPER
GOD WANTS US TO PROSPER
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES LIVED IN POVERTY? A LOT OF PEOPLE GET THIS IDEA FROM LUKE 9:58 WHERE IT SAYS "And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." WE ALWAYS NEED TO KNOW THE "WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN AND HOW" WHEN WE ARE STUDYING THE WORD. IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
IN THIS INSTANCE, IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION OF THE SAMARITANS AS THEY REFUSED JESUS THEIR HOSPITALITY AND A PLACE TO STAY ON HIS WAY TO JERUSALEM. JESUS WAS NOT POOR. IN FACT, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE FOLLOWING, THAT JUDAS WAS HIS BANKER, OR THE KEEPER OF THE BAG. JOHN 12:4-6 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
SO, IF JESUS WAS NOT POOR THEN I AM SURE HE WOULD NOT WANT US TO BE POOR. USE YOUR FAITH TO RECEIVE YOUR BLESSINGS. THEY ARE THERE FOR ALL OF US.
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS SCRIPTURE. DEUTERONOMY 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. HE LOVES US AND WANTS US TO PROSPER.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
