THE RICH - THE BEGGARS - THE MINISTER.

Most people would walk down the street and seeing a beggar would think O, the poor thing, I had better give him or her something. And go a little further down the road and come across a well dressed man or woman standing at the street lights with the finest of apparel fitted who appears rich but we shall never know who the rich and the poor really are till the great and mighty day of judgement will we?...........then the penny drops for eternity.

It is said that the first day of summer by the calendar in Qld is the 01.12.03 and do you know what happened?..my sweet lord showed us his glory once again, he does it daily in our house............Psalm 23, Psalm 16:5.

It was the first day of summer not a week before or after, not a day before or after when two men came to our house and fitted a reverse cycle air conditioner at no cost what so ever to us. No, we don't sow air conditioners or tithe.

My wife and son, brother Shadrach were recently talking of how good it would be to have air conditioning, it is obvious that Father ain't deaf, neither is he blind nor is he dead and he sure ain't waiting on our tithe either, actually Yah is our Father.....call today for the audio or CD "Yah is my Father"......absolutely excellent.

My perfect Father Yahweh knows where I live, he knows my name and he knows everything about me and my household, ministry and what we need added to us and he has never charged us 10% of our monies to get it. However he has charged us and all who claim to be his to love him first and most..................Matthew 10:32-42.

The word beggar means..........one who lives on alms and alms are that which peoples give out of the compassion, generosity and kindness of their hearts, in other words love offerings. The word minister means or originally meant.....servant, not a hireling who works for wages nor one who works against his own will but one in the service of God / Yahweh. Both definitions were taken from the..............The New Compact Bible Dictionary / Zondervan...................1 Timothy 6:5-8.

The story of the rich man and Lazarus I believe with all my heart has always been largely overlooked by most when it comes to ministry. The beggar was the chief minister sent to the rich man who fared sumptuously daily. Yet the pompous churches and their leaders today would not and could not see his ministry for their cheque books. The horrifying reality of this story of Jesus the Christ is the rich man was actually the beggar in the end, yes an eternal beggar.

One who would finally be content with........a drop of water.........not a bigger car, a bigger house, a bigger church building, a bigger congregation or a bigger diamond ring for the finger or a bigger business / company but a singular drop of common tap water for his burning tongue as he sat in torment in flames......eternal fire, hell.

So what are you?........a beggar, a minister, a hireling, a rich man or woman and what is your lot in this life?.......Psalm 16:5....selah!... .......amen.
