The only thing we need to INVEST IN , And i mean with all we have , IS THE LORD .Giving, in my understanding, means no strings attached.
If it's investing, be honest and call it that.
You are right my friend . Giving comes with no strings attached . If i give to have my way , i am no better
than the man that gives a gift to PERVERT JUDGMENT IN MY FAVOR . YOU RIGHT MY FRIEND .
They who give a gift for any other reason than to give , out of love , DO SO unto their own peril and destruction .
For they give not for the good of anyone , only to their own destruction .
Let me explain the last line . ANYONE who gives for any other cause than to help out THE OTHER
Gives for their own exaltation . aka they give for the agenda of what they believe works out best for their own desires and greeds .
Whatever happened to giving just cause we love the person. WHY we give is just as important as the fact we give .
GOD knows the innermost thoughts . HE KNOWS WHY we do as we do . HE ALWAYS KNOWS . EVEN IF WE deceive ourselves and others .
WHY WE DO , SHOWS WHOSE WE ARE . I could give tons of money to the poor , folks could think i was the most loving man that
ever lived . BUT WHY DID I DO . WHY DID I GIVE . I have seen many , like george sorros , like oprah whimphrey
that can out give me on any given day . They gave in one sitting more than i will probably be able to give in my entire life , MONEY WISE
But why do they do as they do . IS it truly from the heart , from the inspiration o GOD . OR , OR
do they do as they do for to be seen of men , or to have gain . Speaking of the latter
My advice is we all flee the prosperity gospel of men .
Let me explain that as well .
There once was a child and he approached a man .
The man saw he held a candy bar . The man noticed another child dressed in rags who had nothing .
The first child was at the register to buy the candy . SO he bought the bar . The man then said
to the child who bought the bar , My dear sweet child , GOD has given you the means to buy the bar
why not share with the child who has not the means to buy the bar, but hungers .
And the child said , NO sir , this is MY bar .
The man then says if ye will give to the child who lacks i will give you TWO bars .
Then the child said YES SIR I will give him half my bar . TELL ME TRUMAN , WHY DID THE GREEDY CHILD GIVE
was it cause he loved the child , OR THE BAR .
SO TOO IS THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL THEY DONT GIVE to those who lack because they lack , nor because they love them
THEY GIVE CAUSE THEY LOVE THE GAIN . IF one gives cause he expects more , HE GIVES cause he loves the more .
Now for a word from JESUS . GIVE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT REPAY YOU , EXPECTING NOTHING . HEED THAT . EXPECTING NOTHING
and great shall your reward be IN HEAVEN . AND where your treasures are , THERE IS YOUR HEART .
