GLORY TO GOD!
What I teach and command you in private, you speak out in the open, and what you hear in the ear(understand by the Spirit), you proclaim upon the housetops.
Matthew 10:27
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation 3:15-17
CAPITALISM
It is mentioned in Holy Scripture.
Rob not the poor, because they are poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
for the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
That is a proverb.
My 10 year old son is a fan of the tale of Robin Hood I wonder if that makes him a socialist?
Let's go to Matthew chapter 20 and see what the LORD Jesus Christ taught about the subject.
I would rather have His Word above my own political preference and opinion.
For the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a man who owns land with vineyards and fruit trees on it, and went out early in the morning to hire labourers to work the land for him.
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard to work.
And he went out a gain about the third hour, and saw others standing idle,
And said to them; If you all go and work my land for me I will pay you a good wage.
And so they agreed by going to work in his vineyard.
The owner went out again about the sixth and ninth hour of the day and hired more workers.
And about the eleventh hour he went out again and found even more standing and doing nothing, And so he asked them, Why do you stand here all day doing nothing?
They answered the owner saying, Because no man has hired us.
( I didn't sit around waiting to be ordained by anybody before I started to do what God told me to do, I opened up the book and talked and listened to the Father)
You may believe that you are standing, but what are you really doing?
He said to them, You go into my vineyard; and I will pay you what is right, and they went also as did those before them and worked on his land.
Now the owner has a couple of shifts or generations working for Him.
So when evening came, the owner said to his foreman, Call the workers and give them their paychecks, beginning from the last to the first.
Seniority not being a priority with Him.
And those that were hired last all received the same pay as those who were hired first and had worked longer.
But as the first to come in, the experienced ones stepped to the owner to receive their wage, they were indignant in their hearts because they were under the assumption that they would have a greater reward.
So they began to complain against the principles and policies of the good man of the house.
Saying, we have been doing this for longer than these and you prefer them and put them in the same category as us?
We have studied longer and practiced harder and we have done more and reached more and deserve the A grade and they deserve the C grade.
REALLY?
This is what Jezebel thinks.
I am the CEO and senior partner and I have been doing this for umpteen years and you mean to tell me that this gay and unemployed man who got saved 2 minutes ago and has not tithed but once is going to receive and wear the same "Well Done My Good And Faithful Servant" T-Shirt as me?
You mean I don't get a red sash or something that will distinguish me from him?
A gold medal or plaque or a special card to swipe or something?
There has got to be a reward for my years of service, are you a Socialist?
(He who has an ear to hear let him hear.)
The owner answered,
Saying, Friend I do not deal with an unrighteous hand.
Didn't you agree to work for a penny? Because that is what I offered for all men and by coming into my vineyard that you agreed to our contract.
Didn't you come when I advertised that the harvest was plenteous ripe but the labourers are few?
Are you saying that I tricked you or forced you against your will?
Take your wages and go on about your way, because the last man hired is going to have the same wage as you.
No Schism.
God is not partial, He is Just, Righteous, Faithful and True.
The owner of the land asks," Are you trying to say that it is not right for me to do what I want to do with my own money?
Are you refusing to receive my righteousness and going about to create your own?
Is your eye evil(covetous and envious) because I am good and generous?
So the last shall be first and the first last.
Matthew 20:1-16
Amen
Someone once asked me, Lolita, what are you a good steward over?.
This is the thing that you will find me faithful in, what God told me to do.
Matthew 25:14,15
Jesus is teaching again of the kingdom.
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants and delivered unto him his goods.
And unto one he gave five talents, and to another two,and to another one; to every man according to his several ability: and straight way took his journey.
Let's pause and examine the text.
Who is the traveling man?
What are his goods?
Who's several ability do you believe the text is talking about the traveling man's or the servant's?
Who came down from heaven, was crucified, died, was buried, raised from the dead, is alive, ascended into heaven and sits right now at the right hand of God on the throne, soon to return?
Is He coming back for money or souls?
Christ gave gifts to men to sow His Word.
The sower sows the Word not his opinion.
The Apostle Peter said,
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion.
I say,
For His is the Kingdom and The Power, and The Glory Forever,
Amen.
Do you think that apart from Christ you have any ability?
Do you think that you could cause your lungs to expand and draw another breath apart from God?
Do you deserve the A+?
Do you deserve anything but to be spewed out of the mouth of God and trampled under foot?
The wisdom of this world is as filthy rags and foolishness to God.
When you turn from seeking the instruction from Christ, you have denied Him and your mouth should be shut.
Capitalism is the world's way and God will take those who practice it in their own craftiness.
The lazy servant in Matthew 25 didn't seek to understand the truth that His Lord had given, and when he finally fell across it, he refused to repent of his error and he hid the Word of Truth in the ground doing nothing useful with it, because he relied on his gain to come from the world system of government.
Faith, is there any wise among those who claim to have it?
Will it be found when The Lord Jesus Christ returns?
Brothers and Sisters In Christ seek the Lord's face, repent and do as the Lord instructs.
Be watchful and mindful of what you hear.
He stands at the door.
Proverbs 11:1-5; Revelation 3:3
Have a blessed weekend.
Pray
LOVE Y'ALL :)
