RE: ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE.

in HeartChurch3 years ago

It's ridiculous to think that God will bless the church with wealth the way he blessed Abraham. The New Testament never speaks of wealth as a reward for believers. Instead, our blessings are spiritual in nature.

(Ephesians 1:3-14 NIV) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. {4} For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love {5} he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- {6} to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. {7} In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace {8} that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. {9} And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, {10} to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. {11} In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, {12} in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. {13} And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, {14} who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.

And if Abraham's blessing is also for the church then why is the church in the third world so poor?

I dont join theological issues with you, having known your occupation for the past few years. I am responding for the first time. Your cut and paste long bible passage I quite understood however, I live by my own understanding of it by the holy spirit. I wish to inform you here that we explain scripures with scriptures. You dont form a doctrine using one passage of the scripture. This leads to error.

Abraham blessing is about the prosperity of Abraham. Jesus Christ is an offspring of Abraham and as he is so are we through him who had begotten us. Abraham's bessings are for the Church by extention through Jesus Christ.

In as much as I deem it an insult regarding some peoples in certain parts of the globe as 3rd class humans, I put it to you that you are a racist. The people you call 3rd class are so rich in everything wealth, but you who call them 3rd class people are the theives, scavengers, who came to their inheritance to subjugate and impoverish them and turn around to call them derogatory names. God is not man you know.

By your last question, you want me to believe that the peoples you called 3rd world are not the children of Abraham because they are poor and YOU are rich. This is the errornous messages you are dishing out to Africa. You Europian Christians so called are part of the problems and impoverishment of Africa. You came to Africa with bible and with gun hidden in your undercoat. You introduced divide and rule in our system and stole and still steal our common wealth. May I inform you that I am an African Jew. Regarding as one from 3rd class world is a Hate speach and I cant take it Thanks for coming to my comment section.
