The Great Empire
by boatrocker Gilmore The great empire of Egypt was built on the backs of slaves. Being born to make others rich and then disappearing in their graves. These Egyptians didn't care about the slaves' souls or their health. But they saw them as instruments in obtaining great wealth. These slaves suffered and toiled for 400 years. They believed their cries to God were falling on deaf ears. But God sent a deliverer to the land. Because man shouldn't be controlled or manipulated by another man. "Let my people go that they may serve me,"was the message for that day. This message was heard by pharaoh, but he chose to disobey. Therefore God sent a curse to kill many in the land. To disobey God is foolish- man cannot seem to understand. Many preachers are building great empires today- they are doing the very same thing. Using God's poor people as instruments to make themselves kings. These people are using God's Church to manipulate and control. Using God's words in ignorance placing a curse on their own souls. He that giveth to the rich shall surely come to want is what the Bible says. (Prov.22: 16) A curse of poverty is place on God's people- this is going on today. To give to the poor you are giving to Lord-this is what the Word says to do. (Prov.19: 17) Whatever you chose to do with God's poor the same will be done to you. It was Priests who were asked, "would a man rob God?" in the book of Malachi. (Malachi 2:1-3:18) This scripture is ignorantly misunderstood and many souls will die. For it was Priests who were robbing God of the Tithes and Offerings that the people gave. If ALL the Tithes were dispersed to the poor more people would be saved. People will see then that God answers prayers and that he hears their cries. But many preachers are stealing what was meant for God's poor-The Devil has blinded their eyes. Ananias and Sapphira in the book of Acts did the very same thing. They paid a heavy price for greed and the offering that they didn't bring. All of the tithe is the Lord's: it is Holy unto the Lord. (Lev. 27:30) But many preachers overlook this scripture so the tithes they hoard. Preaching is not a career choice- it is not a career profession. It is a people who are called to minister with a whole heart dedication. Jesus commanded his followers to pick up your cross and follow him. But many today are following the traditions of men- let us pray for them. God said that it is impossible to please him without faith and if it is not of faith it is sin. Many preachers are not living by faith- they depend on men. Jesus, Peter nor Paul- was paid a salary to preach the word of God. But each lived a life of faith, trusting in their God. Scriptures tell all men to work with your hands to give to those who are in need. Preachers are telling men to go to work support my ministry- sow a seed. Preachers are suppose to have jobs or businesses like everyone else, so he can set the example of giving. But most chose to set themselves above Jesus-being parasites to their members' living. God gives signs that he is not pleased through a preacher's family. He allows them to feel the pain that God feels for them receiving a salary. Repent! Now! Preachers if you are being paid for preaching. Judgment will 1st began in God's House many will perish for false teachings. Like Egypt, God will bring down religious Kings who set themselves up to be served. He will raise a people who whole heartily follow Jesus and all the commandments they observe. Prayer: Lord I pray for myself and the body of Christ, forgive us for loving money more than men's souls. Teach us to have the heart of Jesus and love giving more than receiving. In Jesus name, Amen.
