PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN- Part 2

Unfortunately, many Christians bear God a grudge. This is because most often than not, most were brought up on the wrong spiritual food. As a result, their own spiritual growth is severely stunted. But worse, they are not able to manifest the God-life in them in the world. This article is God's own love letter to you His beloved. Don't you want to know what your lover has to say?

What my people forget is that no one who walked with me was left miserable. In fact many who walked with me were low class people when they began but were later placed among the nobles. I come to enrich and not to impoverish. I come to give and not to take away. If I cause you to put away then I am giving you something better.I called Abraham out of his kindred to make him the Father of nations. I did not destroy Abraham. I rather made Abram Abraham.

Gen. 12:1-3

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

What did Abraham do? Nothing! He was there and I called him and blessed him. In the same way, when you were dead in trespasses and sins, I came to you through the preaching of the gospel and called you that I might move you from darkness into light and not only that, but also to make you the light of the world. So I might move you from the miry clay and place your feet upon the rock. You did not ask me to send my son Jesus. I chose to send him to be crucified because I love you. I placed all your sins upon Him because I love you. I took care of your past, present and future sins in Him because of love. Everything he did, he did for you. I first loved you when you did not deserve my love. I made you my child when you were an abomination by your very composition. All because I love you.

When I called Abraham he was childless but I made a nation out of him. When I called him, he had little possession. But I made him a man of great possession.

One of the areas in my word that I believe I must clear the air is in Mark 10:17-30 because many read it and misunderstand it. It is about the rich young ruler who came to Jesus to ask what he might do to inherit eternal life. After talking about the commandments, Jesus asked him to go and sell all that he had and give to the poor and follow Him.

Mark 10:21

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Notice Jesus loved him. Many read this and conclude that to be with me means poverty but it is not true. Jesus rather was helping him to get the true riches and by that become richer in manifestation. He was teaching him the principle of demonstrating love through giving and reaping the harvest. He was trying to teach him the first step to true riches and that is to have treasure in heaven and out of your treasure in heaven have abundantly on earth. He was teaching the man not to see his riches in his possession. “This is true faith. True faith is in me and me alone,” He said. Afterwards, Jesus spoke about how difficult it is for them that trust in riches to enter the kingdom. This astonished the disciples because coming from a Jewish heritage, they knew riches was part of God's covenant blessing for Israel. But Jesus further stated that it was possible with God.

Mark 10:23-27

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Finally see what Jesus said in response to Peter's question about what they were going to get for leaving everything and following Jesus:

Mark 10:28-30

Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

He spoke about receiving an hundredfold in THIS life with persecution. So you now understand what Jesus was trying to do for the rich young ruler. He was not trying to make him poor, rather he was trying to give him life and make him richer.

I come only to bless. I come to bring you joy. I have the best of plans for you my child. What I ask is that you trust me. Will you dare to trust me? Will you dare to leave everything to me and follow me even as I lead? I am your shepherd. I delight in making sure you are doing great. Will you trust me and go all out with me. Will you fellowship with me in prayer and in the word and get to know me more so the devil cannot deceive you about my real intentions for you? I called you for fellowship, for sweet fellowship and I have been waiting for you ever since to take the dive. Will you take the dive into the pool of experiential fellowship? Please do! Please do my child!
