THE RICHEST IS THE
POOREST….
…The principal of prosperity..
….’’blessed are the poor in
spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven…’’
MATHEW 5:-3
We have discovered many secret in the word of
GOD through HOLY SPIRIT, but this could be
among the best secret you and me ever
discovered.
JESUS was telling the multitude of how one
should be so as to inherit the kingdom of
heaven;
‘’POOR IN SPIRIT’’
are the kind of
people Jesus was talking about to inherit the
heavenly Kingdom .
You may think of being poor, in real sense
this tells us about a condition of having
‘insufficient supply of something. Therefore
‘POOR IN SPIRIT’ means ‘insufficient supply of
something within ones spirit’, of which the bible
didn’t mention.
So, it is wrong if we think of only ungodly
things because it might be divine thing,
i.e. insufficient supply of spiritual understanding,
spiritual wisdom, spiritual discipline and even
holiness.
Now, If those with less spiritual understanding,
wisdom and knowledge in their spirit are the ones
to inherit the kingdom of GOD, then Christians
struggles is for nothing, perhaps we do not need
holiness and divine revelation. But if our
(Christians) struggling is for something
(Hebrew:12:14), mysteriously, JESUS was telling
a parable that we should all understand.
...Lets start to find out the truth, may God help
you through…….
The bible in
ECCLESTIES 6:-7, says “….all labor of man is in
his mouth, but the heart is not satisfied….”
Simply it means, the heart of man is always in
need of things…
The bible did not say what kind of things heart
is constantly in need of, but a special
unstoppable character of mans’ heart is the
ability to receive both SPIRITUAL and FLESH
things regardless of effects can be caused by
them upon mans behaviour,thoughts,mindset
and eventually attitude.
This heart’s ability makes it be constantly in
need of both spiritual and flesh things and there
is no way to satisfy it.
In fact GOD created us that way, so we can’t
change this nature in us, yet it has got strong
impact in our CHRISTIANITY life. Due to this, life
of man turn out being nightmares, those having
much now become most struggling people.
RICHEST people are ones investing a lot,
starting up new companies, coming up with new
business ideas, being terrified by economic
crisis.
All this is just to have more than what they do
possessing.
Needing new cars, new houses, new fashions,
of course new life style, new way of acquire
more wealth something that already has. Only
because “soul is not satisfied”.
But on other side is a,
POOREST
man, who does not bother
himself about tomorrow, well satisfied, no
struggling, does not terrified by economic crisis
that is recently still shaken the whole world.
Only thinking of today's needs then wait for
another day to come hoping everything is going
to be fine like today.
Now, the POOREST seems not to STRUGGLE
like the RICHEST, do not worry like the
RICHEST, seems not work hard like the one with
abundant wealth. We expect the RICHEST to
rest but in turn the POOREST is now resting.
Back to ECCLESIASTES 6:-7, we can discover a
powerful feeling of soul that
“THE MORE YOU ACQUIRE A LOT IS THE
MORE YOU CREATE A GAP IN YOUR HEART TO
NEED A LOT”.
Deeply this scripture tells us that “as man
struggles to get more, it makes him need more”.
Its better to know that no amount of wealth or
anything we have ever needed can satisfy our
need upon a particular thing.
Just think of beautiful clothes and belongings
you have yet every day need new one, worse
enough ,lust up on those which are cheaper than
what you have.
THE QUESTION IS, WHY?
Its because the feelings of having much always
accompanied by FEAR to loose a lot.
Those with a lot of wealth, suffers from strong
fear to loose much.
Better know that behind possession there is
fear to go out of that position. Nothing you do
possess means nothing you are going to loose.
Concern economic crisis, the poor has got
nothing to loose in fact what is he owns
anyway?
He has nothing to worry about, but in another
hand, rich one has got a lot to loose, therefore
surrounded by too much worries.
It implies that “As one struggles more to acquire
much, will surely acquire it but this increases a
GAP to need more due to FEAR to LOOSE much.
This fear usually push him to struggle more, and
as ones struggle more will acquire more , hence
more fear eventually more struggle” and the
circle continues.
In first place I said, POOR means ‘insufficient
supply of something'. RICH means ‘sufficient
supply of something’.
THEN, poor condition tell us of situation of
being in need of something which we are now
see it in rich one and not poor one as we
expected.
Then, THE RICHEST BECOME THE POOREST
IN THIS PERSPECTIVE.
The principal is;
“IF YOU WANT TO BE THE POOREST ONE YOU
MUST BE THE RICHEST ONE”.
Unless you become rich, you can’t be poor and
to be rich you must be poor. Touching, isn’t it?
As we all saw before, strong feeling of
needing(being poor) raises from having much.
So, if an individual ought to acquire strong
feeling of having much to which means being
poor, should possess much.
Above principal can give us understand on what
JESUS spoke
“blessed are the poor in spirit”
HE did not means ordinary poor, but rather, poor
resulted from being rich of things of spirit.
A bit deeper to the ‘principal’,”….having much
spiritual pattern (word of GOD, praying, worship,
praising, meditating) always increase a GAP to
acquire much of those due to a FEAR to loose
them. This FEAR eventually push one to struggle
more(pray more, worship more, read bible more,
meditate more), as a result acquiring much and
hence increases fear to loose much….”
m
78-`Those having much do struggle to get more
not because they need them but because of fear
to loose them.
Receiving GODLY things in abundant increases a
fear to loose them.
The rate at which one receives HEAVENLY
patterns determines the fear that person going
to experience when about to loose them.
HAVING A LITTLE REDUCES FEAR TO LOOSE
IT.
HAVING A LITTLE TEACHES TO DEVALUE
WHAT WE POSSESS.
One can’t see the value of things he has until
he has got them in abundant. CHRISTIANS are
devaluing the love, might, power,
miracle,grace,mercy of the MOST HIGH GOD
because they do not seek to have them all in
abundant. We do have them, yes, but not in its
most of it.
Being poor in spiritual affairs have made many of
us to get satisfied with a little we possess and
yet seems not to be costful when we loose them
,we don’t care simply because we, day after day,
become rich as we continue being poor.
Do not read the WORD OF GOD,
Do not PRAY,
Do not TESTIFY,
Do not be LED BY the HOLY SPIRIT,
Do not seek the POWER OF GOD,
Do not have EFFECTIVE FELLOWSHIP,
…because we have become rich as we are
still poor into them…richness makes us get
satisfied.
JESUS talked about those moving in spiritual
poverty due to spiritual richness not who moving
in spiritual richness(satisfaction) due spiritual
poverty.
NB: To have fear to loose GOD, one must seek
HIM diligently, and have him abundantly.
To have fear in destroying your value, seek to
know your value in LORD.
TO HAVE FEAR TO LOOSE;
Power of GOD, seek it.
Grace of GOD, be strong in it.
Faith you do have in GOD, fight for it.
Wisdom & knowledge of GOD be anxious to
have it.
And anything at all, you need to struggle to
possess it more than yesterday.
REMEMBER: One can become rich in anything
as he become poor in it.
3 JOHN 1:-2, says “…Beloved, I pray that you
may PROSPER IN ALL THINGS and be in good
HEALTH, just as your SOUL PROSPER…”
If we shall think of our PROSPERITY, better not
ignore this scripture at all.
GOD does want us to acquire not only
SPIRITUAL but also MATERIAL PROSPERITY as
well as be of GOOD HEALTH, that why HE said
“in all things”.
Interesting part is ,prosperity in all things is
predetermined by prosperity within your soul.
It means, Prosperity of a soul gives rise to the
prosperity of other things.
100% soul prosperity=100% things prosperity,
and eventually less for less. JESUS spoke about
poor in spirit and I have now taken you to soul
prosperity.
May be you have started asking yourself about
relationship between these two ideology.
They both teaches PRINCIPAL of being
PROSPERED.
But the difference is that MATHEW:5:3 talks
about “spirit” and 3 JOHN:1:2 talks about “soul”.
Seems to be different words but they are not
since they are connected to one another.
Concern this, it can raise another new lesson
aimed not to be taught, but i better share little of
it so you won’t be troubled.
GENESIS:2:7, says “and the lord God formed
man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a
living being”.
Simply;
DUST+BREATH=LIVING BEING.
Then,
dust = flesh pattern,
breath = spiritual pattern,
at this instant, man started experiencing living in
him.
He experienced HEART BEAT that supposed not
to stop as long as he lives unless he is no longer
living being (dead).
It now tells us about heart of man in relation to
the living being of him. Heart beat only shows
existing connection between flesh and spirit;
connection is present = heart beats,
connection is absent = no heart beats,
since,
heart beat implies LIVING and no heart beat
implies DEATH,
We can now see that within the heart of a man
there GOD chooses to preserve a connection
between flesh and spirit .
Bear in mind that spirit and flesh came from
different places, so they definitely have got
different nature, yet they are connected.
Let us take this in considering one of
mathematic theory which argues that
“when two or more sets of different nature are
connected together, connection part should
consist of nature of all sets”.
When we get back to our lesson, it means heart has got
spiritual and flesh nature. Flesh pattern is the heart,
spiritual nature is the soul. SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIVING
BEING IS CALLED SOUL while FLESH SIDE OF LIVING
BEING IS CALLED HEART.
Hence; spirit=soul From this we can easily understand the
relation between Mathew 5:-3 and 3john1:-2.As your soul
prospers it means the prosperity in spiritual realm of the
living being. therefore it is perfectly using “spirit” instead
of “soul”.
Why a person has to have prosperity in spirit first?
Prosperity in spirit tend to give thirst of (richest is
poorest) and fear to loose those things instead of spiritual
things. so, this God’s love for us ,that he doesn’t want us
to have fear to loose anything we might have rather to
have fear of loosing him first…
PAUL said in Roman 8:-35-39 “..who shall separate us
from the love of Christ ?shall tribulation….” we need to
have fear to loose God than anything we possess no
matter how important and valuable our possessions are…
When your spirit Prospers, you will be surrounded by fear
of loosing God and when the fear to loose money, your
beauty, house, clothes, status and many of your
possessions for CHRIST’s sake you can never be defeated
by it…
THEREFORE BE RICH IN CHRIST IN CHRIST SO AS TO BE
POOR ENOUGH TO INHERIT THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM,
AND BE RICH IN SPIRIT SO AS TO HAVE FEAR TO LOOSE
GOD THAN ANYTHING. THROUGH THIS GOD WILL HAVE A
REASON TO PROSPER YOU IN ALL THINGS FOR HE LOVES
YOU.
….. GOD BLESS YOU....
