A lot of people don't know the Bible . And many people get their knowledge of the Bible from people who don't know the Bible . Check this out:
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich. - 2Co 8:9
Who owns everything? God . - 1Co 10:26
Who are we? Heirs . - Gal 3:29
Give me one reason why Christians should be the tail and not the head.
Give me one reason why Christians should
be beneath and not above.
I can give you the main reason.
Unbelief .
If you need another one I have it:
Laziness .
The most important Law in the Universe is this:
While the earth remains, Seed Time and Harvest , and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. - Gen 8:22
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. - Gal 6:7
For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. - Gal 6:8
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - Mat 6:33
What things? The answer in the same chapter:
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: - Mat 6:19
The things that Christ adds to us when we place His Kingdom first is the same treasure that all other men place as first priority.
If you just stop and think about it for a moment, why would a God who owns everything, who calls Himself our Father deny us the blessings of His material world and let the children of satan enjoy it?
You see, satan has sold most Christians a bill of goods. He has convinced them that God witholds good things from them. He has stolen the truth from us.
Listen to Jesus :
The thief comes 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. - Joh 10:10
Since all of God's blessings are accessed by Faith all satan has had to do is undermine our Faith in God.
How many Christians pray to God as if He is way off in Heaven and they are way down here on earth?
And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: - Eph 2:6
We are heirs of all that God has because we are Sons and He died in order to effect the inheritance.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. - 1Jn 3:2
Most Christians don't know who they are or where they are.
Joel Osteen does and many others also who have taken the time to read the Word through the lens of the Holy Spirit .
Do you believe the Word or what someone told you about the Word ?
It makes all the difference.
