GRACE AND TRUTH TODAY With Pastor Nuel Preparing Your Mind For Wealth (2) Yesterday we saw how statistics show that the Jews who are fellow partakers of the blessing of Abraham, have over the years stayed ahead of most other races in wealth. And we concluded with the question why is the same not the case with Christians? We have a better covenant (grace) established on better promises. Hebrews 8:6 But now Jesus, our High Priest...mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Their promises were conditional on their perfect obedience, ours is based on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus! The reason we are not experiencing this same phenomenon in Christianity is because we are still ambivalent about the issue of wealth. We have mixed feelings and contradictory ideas about wealth. We have ascribed some STUPID statements as money is the root of all evil to the bible and believed it without reading for ourselves what the bible actually says. The Jews on the other hand, have no such notion. They believe and train their children to believe that wealth is good! Look at some readings from their sacred books: Where there is no flour, there is no Torah (from the Mishna - a collection of books outlining jewish laws for daily living). Poverty causes transgression (Hasidic folk saying). Poverty in a mans house is worse than fifty plagues (from the Talmud - rabbinical commentaries on the Old Testament). We sing about Abrahams blessings but would not even teach about wealth in church! We need to make up our minds! ...for as he thinketh...so is he! Prov 23:7 More tomorrow! Begin With God This Month @ CovenantLight Church, Oranmiyan Hall, Lagos Airport Hotel, Awolowo Way, Ikeja, Lagos. 9am. Enjoy Grace!
