IN ALL THIS JOB DID
NOT SIN NOR CHARGE GOD WITH WRONG AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN BEGGAR NAMED LAZARUS, FULL OF
SORES WHO WAS LAID AT HIS GATE.. JOB 1:22, LUKE 16:20. |
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
The USA is guilty of breeding covetous preachers and teachers of
religion and sending them throughout the world to infiltrate the minds of those looking
and hoping for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
These prosperity teachers say God is not glorified in the midst of affliction and sickness
and one of their key choruses is . . success!.. Revelation 3:14-22.
I have never met a person that hasn't admitted to the miracle power of God upon Job when
he was on the ash heap. God was proud of Job and Job loved God dearly ... Job 1:8. Yes,
God was glorified!
The beggar Lazarus is another who brought glory to God by living as a beggar all his life
then finally going off to be with God, escorted by angels all the way. And the rich man it
was said the earthly successful man went to hell fire and cried for a drop of water to be
given him. Its time for people to open their God given eyes and realise that God can
and is and will be glorified in any way He chooses at any time at any cost .. rich, poor,
black or white, uneducated or educated, sick or well...... 2 Corinthians 11:22-33.
What about St Pauls friend Epaphroditus, who was sick almost to the point of death
but God was merciful to him. But he was a sick man ready to die, the USA con men in their
Rolls Royces and their million dollar homes, with their Rolex watches would say ..
that man must be in sin, he's sick, he has no faith, he's sick. But St Paul says
Epaphroditus was his brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier and one who ministered to
his need ... Philippians 2:25-27.
There was also a man by the name of Mephibosheth .. this man was lame in his feet. God did
not heal this man but rather gave him favour with the king/David for his father Jonathans
sake. It was granted that Mephibosheth sit at the kings table the rest of his days. But
yet we hear the song that God wants to and is going to heal everyone. I think we best ask
God first or else you will end up with a whole swag of people with imaginary healings. Do
you know what I am talking about?.. they say I am healed but their not. When Jesus healed
someone the bible says they were healed .. no music, no chorus girls, no strobe lights, no
money collection and no call backs.. healed!.. glory halleluyah!
I have read the holy bible and meditated upon it and believed it, (therefore do it) now
for 15years and I dare say the biggest failure I have read about was the richest man in
the book .. King Solomon. He done everything, had everything and could have bought
anything he wanted but wasn't happy ..his conclusion was, fear God and keep His commands
and thats what I believe too. And if you dare do that you won't need all the
glitter, gloss and superficiality of the world. It's all man can do ... and needs to do..
fear God and keep his commandments.. to God be the glory! (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
Amen.
