YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE,THAT LITTLE CHURCH OF PEOPLE.

When was the last time you really trusted Jesus with the most important part of your everyday life?What do we all know is the most valuable thing in our life? Some do not mind saying it,some try to deny it,but WE all know we Must have it.I of course am speaking of money. It does not have to be money per say! It can be food,clothing,a vehicle(transportation)any thing we have to have to survive in this life. From a Fleshly standpoint. You think Jesus does not care if we eat,or have our needs met? Absolutely he does.But this message is not just for our survival in the flesh but our survival in the spirit.Chapter 6 of the book st. John. The LORD SEES lots of people coming toward him.Of course he knew already. He also knew they were following him because they had seen him heal the sick.Yet he was about to show us what can and will happen when we turn it all over to him.So he ask a question he already knew the answer to.Question was where in the world can we buy enough food to feed these (5,000) people. One disciple said it would take months of wages to buy enough food to feed them. Then another disciple spoke up and told Jesus about a little boy who had a small amount of food.He took that food ,told the disciple to have all the people sit down. They did.Jesus blessed the food,and all the 5 thousand ate till they were full.Then Jesus told them to gather up what was left and it filled 12 baskets.A few standouts here! Lack of Faith,always bless your food and the needs God blesses you with,Tithe your money and lastly......Then God will give you way over and beyond what you need. You say oh yea? Yes,it's right here. I know full well how hard it is to give away what i own and have worked for.I say give to God and his work and your entire life as a Christian will explode. Not always in the form of money,but WHATEVER your need is. Christ ,as in this story already knows what you have need of. Are you working and giving to your local church? If not Your robbing God and your own blessings.You say how can i rob God when he needs nothing i have? God loves a cheerful giver.(2nd Corinthians 9:6-7) When you go to church and you should,that body of believers are meeting somewhere. That somewhere has expenses.Power bills ,water bills,literature for Sunday School,all activities no matter how simple or few,including the ability to fellowship with each other. Now brother or Sister...the Pastor deserves compensation for his hire. And its up to the members and deacons etc. to decide what. FYI: Hundreds of millions or even billions are spent for sports activities or hobbies in this world.So why punish a small body of believers that love you,would give you the shirts off their backs and make them have to close down. I say we should be ashamed. We must be born again for sure,and when we are try God and trust him with your life and money. No i am not a pastor and get no money from a church.....just a sinner saved by Grace and my desire is to see all BIBLE preaching and teaching and Jesus worshiping churches filled and filled with cheerful givers.When i give,i know my friend that i am pleasing my Lord. I also know i am being obedient. I wish i had every wasted dollar i have ever had,back,so i could give to that little church of people i worship with 3 to 4 times a week. Please read st. John chapter 6 verses 1- 15. Christ is the only way to eternal life. Not our material wealth.God bless.
