SPIRITUAL PLATTITUDES BREED POVERTY....

The question all over the same: why do we have such poverty in our homes/communities/nation/world? my friend, we cannot understand Kingdom if we dont even understand God s mandate to the BODY OF CHRIST (not even the discipleship command to make disciples of all people) no i m talking hear about the mandate of the BODY OF CHRIST!

Jesus calls us to minister to the poor, so? we must begin the ministry by extending "relational covering" to broken families! I see the effect of woman (and men) suffering catastrophic loss when their spouse die. In one blow she/he loses her best friend, her lover, her covenant partner, her prinicipal source of income and economic security!  suddenly she has to face an uncertain future all alone...

Ive seen it, kids loosing their dads wonder if they can dare trust anyone anything in life? i ve seen right here at this place, fear being birthed & the mark of lack is drawn right here for such kids. In one moment they almost loose all hope of education,economic security,physical safety security, in addition to the immeasurable loss of a fathers touch so loving, wise counsel, caring ear to listen, approving smile!

Time to wake up BODY OF CHRIST, ARISE & SHINE, we have an obligation under God to step in and fill these voids with our hearts, our hands, our money, our time. The inconvenience does not matter His Love which is PERFECT LOVE is never selfish! place self last others first that is real love!  In God s eyes these people are FAMILY we are to take care of the families. IF we fail to cover the exposed hurts wounds hearts of widows and orphans then the devil will see their pain and deprivation to keep us from breaking the spirit of poverty!

Again i say, empty spiritual plattitudes are not part of God s mandate!  dont tell a weary single mom raising her kids without husband in home "Jesus is your husband man" she might just shout back at you "sure i have Jesus as my Husband man however right now i need a man in my home to help me with discipline with the kids, to help comfort them when they cry missing their daddy, i need somebody anybody help me!!!"that s what you might hear...

I see it daily some people are so super spiritual they are no earthly good! all talk no go! influence only in their comfort zones & influence cirlces calling it "kingdom building" no no i m not talking about "gospel social clubs here"... Dont duck responsibility accountability - it s time to do what God told us to do!

"PURE AND UNDEFILED RELIGION BEFORE GOD AND THE FATHER IS THIS TO VISIT ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR TROUBLE AND TO KEEP ONESELF UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD..." that s exactly where you ll find me in this life building His Kingdom not amongst the super religeous "oh he she touched me" crowds...no you ll find me like Jesus between the broken the needy the poor the prisoners the outcasts of life, the widows the orphans the sick... where will Jesus find you among "whose who" or simply making disciples of all people (Is 61)

Can i now share a secret with you : you cannot break poverty  cycle if you dont go after the wickedness (not the holiness) of the world! (nation). yet the church(not all but most)  are silent about the wickedness about the world..."shouting rather about holiness to the holy" ....why? maybe because most of the prominent members (frontliners too) are obsessed with the question "when am i going to get mine?"....(if you take offense deal with it in His Presence sharing His heart very simple straight real life terms we need to wake up from slumber)

Read Isaiah 58:6-8.... you ll see verse tells us "share your bread with the hungry" some of us think we dont have enought time to share with the hungry. at most we simply give them money hurry home, hoping the money wont finance one more bottle wine or beer...it would be far better to take a few minutes of your time sit down and eat with them, this way you can share the bread with fellowship and the Bread of Life with them in one sitting ( that s what Jesus did so who are you thinking no way you ll "go that low level"...)

God told us to bring homeless into our homes...(:7)are you praying for that big house because you re planning to take care of the homeless or is it all about "me myself i package"....The Lord keeps up the pressure when He commands us to cover the naked ( let me tell you i ve seen it with this prison outreach i m going to: most christians and churches have a hard time to even collect toothpaste deodorant combs brushes!)...

guess what...read what The Lord says in verse 8 (ok now remember : 7 is the TO DO LIST whilst 8 is the RECEIVE LIST)...."THEN...(then meaning only when you ve applied verse 7 my friend) your light shall break forth like the morning then your healing shall spring forth SPEEDILY....) guess why our nation is not SEEING SPEEDILY LIGHT AND HEALING...LAZINESS LACK OF DOING WHAT THEY HEAR IN VERSE 7....

Dont think you can simply name claim His Promises no, DO THE TO DO TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE...
