THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN WHO WAS
CLOTHED IN PURPLE AND FINE LINEN AND FARED SUMPTUOUSLY EVERY DAY...........
BUT THERE WAS A CERTAIN BEGGAR NAMED LAZARUS FULL OF SORES WHO WAS LAID AT HIS
GATE...............LUKE 16:19, 20. |
LOCATION, LOCATION.
There really is a lot of attention given to location, location in today's
world even among professing christians which tells a story all of its own doesn't it.
St Luke tells us of a man who had riches, the best clothes and the so called good
life...every day, not once in a while but every day. Luke also tells us of the other side
of the coin so to speak where there was a certain man who was a beggar and his clothing
was sores, we find out as we read on that when the day of reckoning finally came the rich
man went to hell fire and the beggar was escorted away by angels and it wasn't to hell
fire................O, happy day!
What a real and joy filled story for every underdog, Jesus was and truly is the friend of
the poor, praise God!.......click here now.
The holy book says that the rich man fared sumptuously (lived in luxurious conditions)
every day and that the beggar lived a life of poverty yet the angels of almighty God
accepted the beggar rather than the rich man of luxury.
It is extremely important to understand that the beggar was not begging for a season but
a......lifetime. It is this kind of story that sinks the luxury liners of the prosperity
doctrines, million dollar messiah teachings, start poor and end up financially rich in
this life theology and God almighty put this story directly after the message of
the........pharisees being lovers of money, on purpose for............our
admonition....... Luke 16:14, 15................click here now.
Location, location makes no difference to the saving of men and women's wretched souls.
The beggar had friends they were dogs, they licked his sores. Telling us that even animals
are more loving and kind than some human beings, O, how cold the mighty dollar makes the
human race........a cold heart is a hard heart.
The beggar was a just weight for the trying of the rich, well dressed fool who went to
hell, whose your just weight?....and who is almighty God / Jesus using to weigh you in the
balance of loving kindness, righteousness and judgement?
Get yourself a copy of our book......My Kingdom Is Not Of This World.........today, it
will change your entire life and deliver you from the love of filthy lucre once and for
all. You will either hate money and love God or you will hate God and love money, it is
one or the other says the lord............Matthew 6:24.
Location, location.................heaven or hell?.................the last shall be first
and the first shall be last in the great and mighty day of my Lord /
Jesus the Christ..
.........amen.
