BLESSING AND PROSPERITY BELONG TO US
57Blessing and prosperity belong to us. Loving money is not of us since we love God and not money. We do not have any other gods before our God, Elohim-Jehovah. Loving money can become a god if a person’s priorities are not sorted out. Having money and loving money are two different matters.
Satan programmed churches to believe that we should be sick because God would teach us something. Satan the thief reprogrammed churches that poverty is for us, to protect us not being greedy.
At the same time so many churches are in debt. What you preach you will get. Many churches are closing and selling their properties to foreign religions.
Recently I visited a sound church. I read the bulletin and monthly budget was $12,000+ and they collected only $2,000. I do not think this is normal.
When Adam was created, he received a gift, the earth to his coming “wedding”. There was on the surface of earth the best gold and bdellium for Eva’s perfume there. There was more than Adam needed.
Abraham was exceedingly rich in gold and silver. Genesis 13:2: And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. All his sons and grandsons were blessed. David was rich, Solomon was rich.
Jesus was not poor. He was born with the kind of presents presented to a king including a significant amount of gold. I do not call it being poor. Jesus became poor on the cross, since He took on the cross the curse of the law: He became poor, sick and died. Jesus died not even having clothes on himself. Those are three cardinal curses: poverty, sickness and death, described in Deuteronomy 28:15-86. Paul told us that we were redeemed from the curse of the law.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). His riches and glory are not poor.
Why do Christians claim we were redeemed from sin, but were not set free from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13)?
Because the Bible says we shall have what we say (Mark 11:23). Faith comes by hearing of the Word of God. But by the faith of the devil and this world system, faith does not come. We have to shut our ears and our mouths and start to listen and speak the Word of God.
Many TV commercials sell us diseases by selling remedies, of which we should not have sickness on the first place. They are programming people about a financial crisis and a shortage of all kinds. Then they raise prices for a variety of “reasons.” The world system is like a giant vacuum cleaner, which will suck all the values we have and make the people poor.
If we walk in the spirit we may be blessed without loving money. Read John 10:10: Jesus said: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Abundant life means fullness, lacking nothing.

Amen to it, bro. We are not moved by adverse circumstances.
Bless you.
I am blessed because I am poor. The Lord recently has given me good enough health to go out and find recycling in the dumps at my apartment complex for some extra bucks.. Nothing like working for your rewards in the Lord. I may never be rich but I am never without and I am certainly rich in Him.
Vladmir a friend of mine said to me one time ,that he prayed to God for potatoes and he was given a hoe . My point being that a very wise older man I know told me once that God will do for me what I cannot do for myself , but God will not do for me what I can do for myself . A very good read here Vladmir .
And I hope that Churches tithing that you talked about In the 4th paragraph gets the funding they need ! Thx for the good words .
My prayer has always been that I not be so rich that I have no need of Him, nor so poor that I would be tempted to steal. It's just a fine line with wealth because of the man who kept all the commandments and yet, when he was asked to sell all he had and give it to the poor by our Lord, he walked away in shame. Whatever we are blessed with is the Lord's and as long as we are obedient in submitting it to our Lord, He will continue to bless the faithful servant that invests what he is given wisely.
Hm, I already answered to Tony and Judah's Daughter and it is gone. But I will work on it again. :-)
Vladimir, another fine article, friend. A giant vacuum cleaner! :-) I love that metaphor. Thanks, man.
Hi Vladimir,
None of us take anything from this life into the next so hopefully what we choose to do with our lives and any riches in this life is well spent.
Following James Watkins comment led me here and of that I am glad.
James, my friend, thank you for comment. I Appreciate it.
Thank you Peggy and nice meeting you.
Very powerful hub, Vladimir. Thank you for sharing the wisdom God has shared with you.
I like that you point out Jesus was not always poor. Many people don't understand this, because at his temple dedication doves were offered - a sign of his parents' poverty. They also bring up that He said that animals have homes, but "the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." They say we should be like Jesus and not have wealth. My question for such people is always, "How can you give away something you don't have? If you are in poverty, you nearly always have to depend on the generosity of others, instead of helping others yourself." Many don't accept this line of thinking. I think these people spend too much of their lives rejecting the good things God wants to give them.
Hello. Thanks for visit.
Jesus said to whom He choose "come and see". But since He was on mission trip he did not have home there. He was the carpenter and had 12 handy men with. To whom He did not choose He answered gently, truth the way "He was away from home." It is just only little pearl.
Poverty is curse according to Scripture. Also Mary with Joseph were that time poor since they were in Bethlehem and not in Nazareth. Bless you my sis.
John 10:10 has become a sort of life verse. If I am confused about the events in my life, I only need look to the Word to see what is going on. I have never seen a need to embrace poverty, however my husband is the kind of man who thinks it is fun to survive in the mountains with only a hunting knife and a fishing rod! LOL
Job, Abraham and David are wonderful examples of what God can do with someone who loves Him, not money.
I lived in relative poverty and now I am blessed and lacking nothing. The point is, I think, we should be lacking nothing to carry message Lord appointed for us to do. Just wait when I will talk about Job. :)
Thank you, madam, for visit. Say hello to your family.

Nice one
We are new creatures and belong to God and he will never leave us or allow us to beg for bread.
Go well
