NOR WAS THERE ANYONE AMONG THEM WHO LACKED FOR ALL WHO WERE POSSESSORS OF LANDS OR HOUSES SOLD THEM AND BROUGHT THE PROCEEDS OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SOLD AND LAID THEM AT THE APOSTLES FEET AND THEY DISTRIBUTED TO EACH AS ANYONE HAD NEED.....ACTS 4:35,36. |
THE TRUE CHRISTIAN...A SELFLESS PILGRIM/SERVANT!-PART 2 |
Last week, we had a quick look at the finances that are held up in so called churches of GOD in Malaysia. And we compared a few Scriptures with these churches attitude. Can you start to imagine the amount of money wasted by church structures in the world how about in Australia? The Scripture above says that the proceeds were laid at the apostles feet these men did not have to cry poor mouth, nor did they have to lie to the people to get this money nor did they stretch, strain, slight, change, exaggerate or add to the WORD of GOD to receive this blessing. These
people/believers were moved by none other than GOD the HOLY GHOST! There was no mention of tithe, portion or percentage these people were led by the HOLY GHOST. This is what GOD wants for His people today. FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE
SPIRIT OF GOD
THESE ARE THE SONS OF GOD. .ROMANS 8:14. There is a very wonderful,
beautiful and powerful teaching here
the
teaching of true unity, not superficial unity. We often hear of ministers,
churches, wanting unity and over the years I have come to see that this is all just in word
lip servants! Two major requirements are essential for true unity and harmony among GODS people. 1.
THE PEOPLE MUST ALLOW THE HOLY GHOST TO LEAD
THEM, THIS TAKES FAITH! 2.
THE PEOPLE MUST FORSAKE THE SPIRIT OF
COVETOUSNESS, THIS TAKES DEATH TO SELF! This takes us back to the headlines above
the true Christian,
a selfless pilgrim
servant......Luke 17:10. Dear reader, when you have a real Bible believing faith in CHRIST JESUS and the HOLY GHOST is your guide no command is too hard, no request is too much and no death too painful. BUT WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME THESE I HAVE COUNTED LOSS FOR CHRIST. PHILIPPIANS 3:7. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN YOU
WHOSE HEART IS SET IN PILGRIMAGE PSALM 84:5. .........AMEN.
