What are the churches of this world doing for the poor?
What should the churches of the saints of the Living God do
for the Poor?
In Matthew 25 Christ gave us the Parable of the sheep and
goats. I ask you these questions which one of these Christians are
you? Which one of these Christians do you want to be? What do you
think Christ mean by this saying, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch
as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to
Me? I mean ask yourself these questions, ponder them, examine
yourselves so you are not disqualified after you have run a race
by not following the rules of the race.
The Holy Spirit says, "Whom will God teach knowledge?
Whom will God make to understand His message?" And again, the
Spirit says, "For with stammering lips and another tongue He will
speak to this people". As I said before, I say again, I speak to
you plainly in the language of one untaught by the wise of this world, who
speak with impressive and persuasive words. But, I speak as the Spirit of
Christ in me informs me, for the Spirit searches all things. Not as a mere
man, I speak as one without training in the speech of the
seminaries of this world's churches , but I speak as one with the
wisdom which comes from God above, for I want you to live and not die, to
hear and understand as those who are babes willing to learn from one
another. For God reveals His wisdom and understanding to those who are
babes according to this world's standards; and "not many wise"
of this present age answer the calling of God. As the Spirit says in 1
Corinthians 2:10... "But God has revealed them to us through His
Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of
God".
- Isaiah
28:9-13... 9 "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make
to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just
drawn from the breasts? 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept
upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a
little." 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue He will
speak to this people, 12 To whom He said, "This is the rest with
which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the
refreshing"; Yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD
was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line
upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little," That
they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.

- Luke
10:21... In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, that You have hidden these things from
the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for
so it seemed good in Your sight.

- 1
Corinthians 1:26... For you see your calling, brethren, that not
many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are
called.
God Himself pleads the
cause of the poor and needy in Isaiah 41 - There He is calling upon us as
"real Christians" to be responsible for our fellow human brothers
and sisters in need:
Isaiah 41:17
"The
poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for
thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake
them."
Matthew 25:31-46 Explained
Evangelist Ron Davis,
a minister of Christ, of the Kush Edifying Ministries,
the author of these messages, some were given in part on his Kush
Edifying Radio Ministry. Similar messages maybe heard on
radio station WFBR 1590AM coming out of Glen Burnie / Baltimore,
Maryland area and my Spreaker Page. Send your comments to Evangelist
Ron Davis, of the Kush Edifying Ministries.
The Kush Edifying
Ministries proclaims the whole counsel of God. This ministry believes in
the command of Jesus to His disciples in Matthew 10:7-8 "As you go,
preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise
the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have
received, freely give" (NIV). Jesus commands us to "freely"
preach the word without demanding that those preached to give us a
tithe or tenth of their earnings.
As 1 Corinthians
9:15-18 says, so do I say, "For if I do this willingly, I have a
reward...That in preaching the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ
[available] without expense [by not demanding "tithes and
offerings" from you, as so many gospel peddlers do], so that I may
not abuse my authority in the gospel" [as those who claim
they represent God in collecting tithes from you]. For if I do not
receive tithes from you, should I stop preaching the gospel to you?
For as the Holy Scripture says, "Woe to me, if I stop preaching the
gospel... What then is my reward?"
