Joseph told Pharaoh to store up.
...and...
Will God give us inside information so we can get large gains from the various financial markets.
It was not for Joseph's or Pharaoh's "personal share portfolio," neither is it a matter of "insider information so we can get large gains from the various financial markets."
When you use terms "of the world," you will be seen to be "of the world" (e.g. "asets," "gains," "financial markets," "insider information," etc.).
Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we
speak, not in the
words which
man's wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Cor. 2:12-13).
It is so very important, as the above passage states, to
not speak the words that we have been conditioned to speak by the spirit of the world (by what man's wisdom has taught us); but to speak the words which the Holy Spirit has taught us (to speak in a spiritual manner). These words are contained in the Holy Scripture, which are for our "doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).
Jesus said don't store up things on earth.
But you said, "Joseph told Pharaoh to store up." So, was Joseph wrong? How much storage do you think was loaded into Noah's ark?
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man spendeth it up. (Pro. 21:20).
Preparation is scriptural; pursuit of mamon is not.
The instructions or principles found in the bible regarding possessions and assests vary greatly.
If you're gonna go that way, then please provide scriptural support.
Go with the Spirit's prompting and leading. He will give you specific instructions on what to do. They may very well be different to what He asks of me. But that's fine. The body of Christ have many members to carry out various tasks.
That's all good.
The body of Christ have many members to carry out various tasks.
That's good, too, but it's not the gist of my responses to your comments, which is, the importance of the words we speak, because "...they have put no difference between the holy and profane...and I am profaned among them." (Eze. 22:26).
