JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 135

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 4:34,35.

RADICAL GIVERS!

What is a radical giver?.. who do we ask, how do we define or describe, know, if someone is worthy of the title… radical giver?... check your bible and search the scriptures to see for yourself… Acts 17:11.

The Prosperity Preachers Club of America actually claim to be radical givers and teachers of radical giving however, once again the infallible holy, implanted, unadulterated word makes them to be liars.

The scripture above is one example of true radical giving and no where in the new testament does it say that all those from … Acts 4:34,35… received new houses or 100 fold in return… hello?... are you still reading this letter?... Just wait a little, it gets even better, better meaning stronger light…… John 5:35, Matthew 19:27-30.

Another radical giver of the holy bible was the… old widow lady with her two coins, she was radical, she gave all… more radical then any hyper faith teacher on the planet this day, she was poor, old and widowed.

Not most but all hyper faith teachers, preachers and empire builders place weighty price tags upon all their products … audio, video, books, tracts, conferences and their time yet label themselves radical givers … hello?

They call themselves radical givers and teach radical giving and some have been as brazen to say that your anointing that God Almighty has given you as a gift is governed by your attitude, financial giving and the words that leave your mouth, lies again, the calling and gifts of God are without repentance says the Lord…. Romans 11:29, Judges 16:28-31.

Don’t be fooled by free magazines with credit card details within, once again the sales and services line taken from the shrewd world we live in. I have only ever met one true radical giver in my whole life, this one is my precious older sister, Miss Lynette Merle Sheehan. With the sure understanding this preacher has of scripture I believe that I would be much more precise in saying she was more of a martyr than a radical giver, which is actually the end result of radical giving… the martyrs heart…. so to speak.

Not the millionaires heart or the luxury heart or the ladder climbing heart of visible progression and success but the … martyr’s heart. I am using the word martyr here simply to enlarge upon the selfless life of this dear woman. To me a martyrs heart is the extra mile eagle type servant who doesn’t mind being spent for God and mankind without their photo on the cover of the latest Christendom gloss mag… hello?... are you a radical giver?

Radical givers have no dollar signs on their products, no whinge sessions after they write the cheque, no dreams of their multiple returns and no desire to be recognized for their selflessness…. Matthew 10:8 … amen.
