LISTEN TO THE MESSENGER

THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM PROMISES THAT ALL NATIONS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL MEN RESTS IN THE OBEDIENCE OF HIS CHILDREN TO DO HIS WILL.

There was a certain rich man, (and whenever you see the word "certain" in scripture this means that this man actually lived.)
This man who was well dressed, well kept, well fed, and fared well on a regular basis only represents a type of man.

He was called a rich man but I am telling you that a rich man is so much more than a man who merely has in his possessions great or numerous materials.

I say to you that a rich man is a man who has kingdom information and the favour of God and the blessing of Abraham rests on his life.

The "rich man" could be you.

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus who stood out in front of the "rich man's" home full of sores "needed healing and deliverance" he also sat with the hope that crumb's would fall from the rich man's table and even worse the dogs came and licked at this beggars sores.

Just a little bit of what the rich man had was satisfactory to the beggar.

It came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man died and was buried;
And in hell (which is a real place) the rich man looked up and far away from where he was he saw Lazarus with Father Abraham.

And the man who had all of the information and advantage in life but did not share it cried out " Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Abraham said to him, Son, remember in your lifetime you received good things( an assignment from God to share the gospel that would lead men of every nation to God the Father) and likewise Lazarus had not this information, but now he sits in comfort and you sit in torment.

Oh how the tables have turned.
You were blessed in the city and blessed in the field, blessed going and coming.
Yet now you cry out to the man who you ignored in the former life.

Abraham let the rich man know that it is impossible to fulfill his request because there is a great distance between where Lazarus is and where he is.
And none can cross from one side to the other.

So the rich man is now the beggar, and he begs in death to go to his father's house and warn his five brothers to keep them from ending up in hell like he is.

Abraham told this man, God has sent messengers in Moses and the prophets, let your brothers listen to them.

But this man is pleading and saying," Father Abraham if they see a vision from the dead they will repent and do what is required."

Father Abraham said, If they do not listen to Moses who God has given His Word nor the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, through one rose from the dead.

IT WILL BE BY FAITH.
YOUR SIGN IS THE WORD AND WHAT IT SAYS.

There are scholars who know God's will yet they refuse to take it any further than their own backyard because they believe that the rest of the world is beneath them.
Shame on them and may God have mercy on them.

THIS IS DEEP AND THIS IS HOWLING AT A WHOLE LOT OF FOLKS IN EVERY NATION.

You want a miracle and a sign and all of that jazz.
When the Lord comes back He will be coming back for Faith and Faith is Obedience.

Do you have information that God has told you to share with the world?

See this is not simply about feeding the poor or the beggars with natural food.
Charity and good works have there place but God said, "Go into all the world and proclaim the way to Me"
Take food and clothes if you must but go and tell the people the way to being well kept.

People can't grow spiritually if they aren't eating spiritually.
Who is called to feed them?
The rich man.
Who is the rich man?
Whoever has the Word Of God.

What did Moses and the prophets have?
Not merely visions.
They had The Word Of God from God and they took it to the people.

You are the rich man if you have this information.
And those without it are the beggars.

You think Oprah is the rich one, you have it twisted.

LISTEN TO THE MESSENGER AND TAKE GOD'S MESSAGE OF FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS TO THE WORLD

Think on this.
