“내가 너에게 세상의 부를 주겠다”는 메시지, 오늘날 많은 교회에서 전파되고 있는 것입니다.. 현대 복음은 육신적인 사람을 위한 번영 복음으로 바뀌었습니다.. Everything revolves around man and the prosperity and riches of the carnal man. The motivational sermons and carnal doctrines, that are preached are focused upon the wealth, material possessions, and financial success of people and to get as much as possible, so that they can lead a comfortable peaceful life in the abundance of wealth.
In order to substantiate this modern doctrine of man, many scriptures from the Bible, especially from the Old Testament, are quoted, 변경됨, and twisted. 그리고 그 때문에, the gospel is being misused for the enrichment of the carnal man, so that the carnal man can live after the lusts and desires of the flesh and satisfy them.
God is a Provider and He ensures that His children have no lack. That’s what He promises His children. 하지만…. God also knows the power of money and wealth and what money and wealth can do with the life of a person.
Money is needed in daily life and serves as a tool, but it must not become an idol, and people should not rely on their possessions and put their trust in money and riches. And it’s certainly not right, to use the precious gospel as a tool to get money, (재료) 재산, 그리고 부(富).
Praying and fasting for money, financial success and an increase of earthly possessions only prove that a person is not 다시 태어나다 and lives after the flesh. The carnal person is focused upon the things of this world and also seeks and longs for the things of this world.
The words of God or the words of the devil?
“I will give you the riches of the world” are very similar to the words, which the devil spoke to Jesus when he tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. The devil possessed all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, including the riches of the world, and he had the power to give them to Jesus. He didn’t lie about that, because Jesus didn’t say that the devil was telling a lie. But if the devil really would have given it to Jesus, that’s a whole different story.
But the devil possessed the kingdoms and could have given it, to whom he wanted. The only thing that Jesus had to do, to receive all the kingdoms of the earth and their glory, was to bow down for the devil. Everything could be His, without walking the difficult path of God with strive, 유혹, 저항, 박해, and rejection of man, that would end in the crucifixion.
Even if it sounded so good, Jesus knew the devil and his nature and discerned his plan. Because his tactic wasn’t changed and he had tried the same with Adam, 하나님의 아들. Jesus knew what the devil tried to do because Jesus was a danger and threat to the devil and his kingdom.
And that’s why the devil tried to tempt Jesus by using God’s words and take them out of their context in order to use them for Himself; for His own benefit and to fulfill the lusts and desires of His flesh.
그러므로, the devil tried to tempt Jesus by using God’s Word to still the hunger of His flesh, to prove Himself as Son of God (because the carnal man always wants to prove himself) and by tempting Him with kingdoms of this world and their glory, so that He would become mighty and wealthy and fulfill the lusts, 욕망, and greed of the flesh (매튜 4:1-11, 루크 4:1-13).
But Jesus belonged to another Kingdom and His heart belonged to God. He had laid down His flesh and therefore He didn’t walk after the 육체의 정욕과 욕망. He knew the will of God and therefore He didn’t use the words of God for Himself; for personal gain and to fulfill the carnal lusts and desires of His flesh and for His own carnal prosperity. 대신에, Jesus used the words of God to preach and bring His Kingdom to the people of God so that His Kingdom would be established on earth.
악마는 알고 있었어, that if Jesus would have listened to his words and obeyed his words, in order to satisfy His own carnal lusts and desires, Jesus would have bowed before him and left the commandment of God (신명기 6:13). He would have listened to His flesh and allowed His flesh to reign over Him and therefore He would have submitted Himself to the devil, who reigns in the sin nature of the flesh. But Jesus knew that you cannot serve two gods, it is either One or the other. Every person has a choice to stay loyal to God and let the spirit reign or to stay loyal to the devil and let the flesh reign.
Bow before the devil
Although Jesus has taken 키 from the devil and has all authority in heavens and on earth, and the devil is judged (남자 16:11), the devil still has the ability to manifest himself as the ruler of this world. 결국, Jesus called the devil the prince of this world (남자 12:31, 남자 16:11). And although Jesus called him that before His crucifixion and resurrection, after His resurrection the apostles also called the devil the prince of the power of the air and the god of this world (에베소서 2:2, 2 고린도전서 4:4).
Every person makes a choice to live in the dominion of the Kingdom of God and under the authority of Jesus Christ, or to live in the dominion of the kingdom of darkness; the kingdom of this world, and under the authority of the devil.
신자가 많네요, who unlike Jesus, bow for the devil and believe his words and use the gospel to satisfy their carnal lusts and desires.
The devil comes as an angel of light and many believers fall for his acting traits and trap into his lies and don’t discern him from Jesus.
As long as a person keeps living after the flesh according to the sinful nature, the person stays under the authority of the devil and is controlled by the kingdom of darkness. The more people belong to the devil and his kingdom, 더 power he has 이 지구상에서.
A person can call himself or herself a Christian, 교회를 방문하다, has a Bible college or university degree, have earned a doctorate or received an honorary doctorate, 그리고 자선 활동을 하세요., but all these things don’t make a person a son of God.
A person can believe in Jesus and that He is the Son of God, but the devil and the demons also believe that, 그리고 그들은 저장되지 않았습니다.
A person belongs to the one (s)he listens to
A person belongs, to the one (s)he listens to and whose words, 조언, 그리고 조언 (s)he follows. 사람들, who listen to the words of the world, belong to the world and walk after the flesh. They are focused on money and financial success and be led by the power of greed and riches, 세상처럼.
The world is focused on the riches of the world and wants to live in the abundance of wealth and wants to possess as many riches and (재료) possessions as possible. They will never be satisfied and therefore it will never be enough. Because when they are wealthy, their lusts and desires of the flesh are still not met, and they still want more.
They look and compare themselves with others, who have more possessions than they have and become envious and jealous, and want to have what they have.
사람들이 있습니다, who have high debts, only because they were led by the power of greed.
Others love money and are so greedy for more money, that they violate moral rules and laws, and embezzle money and steal, in order to get what they want and long for.
사실 때문에, that many churches have allowed the spirit of this world into the church, we see the same behavior among many believers. There is hardly any difference between the believers and the world. The purpose in the lives of people, 세상에 속한 사람, has become the same purpose for many believers
The deception and danger of riches
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life (1 디모데 6:17-19)
The riches of the world may seem so wonderful, 그러나 실제로는, are deceptive. Because it can cause people to become prideful, high-minded and cause them to put their trust in riches instead of God. And when they receive, 그들이 원했던 것, they are still not satisfied, but only want more. It is never enough.
It is sad to see, that so many people don’t look at what they have and be thankful, but always look at what they don’t have.
They are so focused on the things, 그들에 따르면, they are lacking, that it controls their lives.
But if you are continuously focused upon the carnal things of this world and allow those things to control your mind and life, you will never mature as a son of God.
Because every word of God, that should bear fruit, shall be choked and eventually die. Jesus shows us what the deceitfulness of riches can do with a person in the parable of the sower and the four kinds of soul, which symbolizes the four kinds of lives of believers, wherein the Seed of God is being sowed.
가시떨기에 뿌려진 자는 말씀을 듣는 자니; 그리고 이 세상을 염려하라, 재물의 유혹과, 말을 질식시키다, 그리고 그는 열매를 맺지 못하게 된다. (매튜 13:22, 표시 4:19, 루크 8:14)
말씀은 무엇을 말하는가??
말씀은 이렇게 말합니다, that in the last days perilous times shall come and that man, 설교자를 포함하여, shall be among others, lovers of their own selves and covetous (2 디모데 3:1-2). And that’s so true! Because when you look at the lives of people and listen to the most popular message, that is preached and draw many people, is the same message that is preached by the world, 즉: how can I become financially successful and get as much money, 부 (재산) and material possessions as possible on this earth.
설교자들, who preach this message don’t call the people to 후회, like the prophets, 예수, and the followers of Jesus preached.
They don’t’ call the believers to sanctification and to live holy lives unto God after 그의 의지. But they approve and allow those things, that go against God’s will and are an abomination to Him and they disapprove the will of God. 그들은 악을 선이라 하고 선을 악이라 부르느니라. 그래서, they turn evil into good and good into evil, and because of that instead of pleasing the Lord, 그들 피곤하신 주님.
그들은 그럴 의지가 없다 그들의 육체를 내려놓으라 and therefore they adjust the Word of God to their lives and the way they want to live. 그렇게 해서, they change the truth into a lie. They apply the spiritual principles to the enrichment and prosperity of the carnal man, while the Word clearly instructs the believers to lay down to old man; 육체, with all its sinful lusts and desires.
The root of all evil is the love of money
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, 싸움, railings, evil surmisings, 마음이 부패한 사람들의 비뚤어진 논쟁, 그리고 진실이 결여되어 있다, 이득이 경건이라고 생각하는 것: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 우리는 이 세상에 아무것도 가지고 온 것이 없습니다., 그리고 우리는 아무것도 할 수 없다는 것이 확실해. 먹을 것과 입을 것이 있으면 그것으로 만족하자. 부하려 하는 자들은 시험과 올무에 떨어지느니라, 여러 가지 어리석고 해로운 정욕에 빠져, 사람을 파멸과 멸망에 빠뜨리는 것. 돈을 사랑하는 것이 일만 악의 뿌리가 되니: 일부 사람들이 탐내는 동안, 그들은 믿음에서 떠났습니다., 많은 근심으로 자기를 찔렀도다 (1 디모데 6:7-12).
How many times do believers, 설교자를 포함하여, say that money is not evil, 그러나 돈을 사랑하는 것은 악하다. But if you are constantly focused on money and constantly talking and preaching about money, and how to get more money and wealth and become financially successful, isn’t that called the love of money? If you are never satisfied with what you have, but always want more and more, and keep begging for money, isn’t that called the love of money?
Gather treasures in heaven and not on earth
The Word teaches us, to gather treasures in heaven and not on the earth. Because where your treasure is, there your heart will be (매트 6:19-21). While the modern prosperity preachers are not focused upon the spiritual and to gather treasures in heaven but motivate and teach the believers to gather as many treasures upon this earth as possible.
You cannot serve two masters
In the parable of the unrighteous steward, 예수가 말합니다, that you cannot serve two masters, for he will hate the one, 그리고 다른 사람을 사랑해, 그렇지 않으면 그는 그 사람을 붙잡을 것입니다, 그리고 상대방을 경멸한다. Therefore you cannot God (영혼) and Mammon (살) (루 16:9-14).
When the Pharisees, 탐욕스러웠던 사람들, heard the words of Jesus, they derided Him or in other words, they ridiculed Him. This also happens in our age with preachers and believers, who stay faithful to the Word, and don’t go along with the modern preachings of prosperity and hyper-grace, in which everything is allowed and approved and whereby money, material possessions, and wealth are the centers of attention. They are accused of being religious or legalistic, while in reality they just do what the Word tells them to do and represent the Kingdom of God.
How hardly shall they, who have riches enter the Kingdom of God
After Jesus spoke to the rich man, who asked Him about eternal life, Jesus said 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, 그리고 그들에게 말했다., 어린이들, 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 (표시 10:23-27, 루크 18:24)
Although the rich man kept the law, his heart and therefore his life, belonged to his possessions. 예수가 말합니다:
주의하십시오, 그리고 탐심을 조심하십시오: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth (루크 12:15)
After Peter told Jesus, that they had given up everything for Him and followed Him, 예수님이 말씀하셨습니다:
진실로 나는 당신에게 말합니다, 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, 집, 그리고 형제들, 그리고 자매들, and mothers, 그리고 아이들, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life (표시 10:29-30)
이 구절들에서, we read that God will provide for those, WHO 예수를 따르십시오 and leave everything behind for His sake and the gospel. 그렇지만, 예수께서도 말씀하셨다, that they would be persecuted, because of Him and the gospel.
먼저 하나님의 나라와 그의 의를 구하라
God is a Provider, and He shall provide His sons; the born again believers, in everything they need (루 12:31). We also see this in the lives of Jesus, the apostles, and believers. 그렇지만, we don’t read anything about using the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to satisfy the carnal lusts and desires. Because the Word instructs us to 살을 얹어 놓다 when you are crucified and risen in Jesus Christ.
그런 이유로, 신이 그렇게되면 들판의 잔디를 옷을 입으십시오, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, 그는 당신을 더 이상 옷을 입지 않을 것입니다, 오, 작은 믿음의? 그러므로 아무 생각도 하지 마세요, 속담, 우리는 무엇을 먹을까?? 또는, 무엇을 마실까?? 또는, 우리는 무엇을 입을까요?? (이는 다 이방인들이 구하는 것이라:) 너희 천부께서 이 모든 것이 너희에게 있어야 할 줄을 아시느니라. 그러나 너희는 먼저 하나님의 나라를 구하라, 그의 의로움과; 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라. 그러므로 내일 일은 생각하지 말라: 내일 일은 내일 걱정할 것이요. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof (매튜 6:30-34)
말씀은 이렇게 말합니다, to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and that all things, that you need in life, will be added unto you. The secret of this message is, that if you have laid down your flesh and have found the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, you won’t’ be focused on yourself anymore and your flesh, 재산, and the enrichment of yourself, and therefore return to the weak and beggarly elements of the world, but you shall be focused upon Jesus Christ and preaching and establishing the Kingdom of God on this earth. You shall trust God and not ask and beg for money. But you shall be grateful and thank Him because you know that He will provide in everything you need and that you don’t have to worry.
The gospel misused to get money and wealth
The doctrine of the prosperity gospel attracts many people, because who doesn’t want to become rich and wealthy? Many churches, who preach this doctrine, have become mega-churches full of carnal people. But making a decision to 예수를 따르십시오 on the basis of prosperity, 부, and wealth in the natural world, is not the right basis for 후회.
It happens so many times, that believers build their faith upon the words and experiences of preachers, and when the promises of the preachers don’t come to pass in their lives, they become disappointed and frustrated and eventually become apostate and leave ‘the faith’. 왜? Because they didn’t get what they were promised and what they longed for, namely money, material possessions, 그리고 부(富).
Some preachers talk constantly about money, material possessions, and financial success and use many Old Testament scriptures, in which God was dealing with a carnal people, whose spirit was still dead and was not raised from the dead. They change and twist the scriptures in the New Testament, that talk about the spiritual heritage and the riches in Christ, to sustain their message and encourage the people through their sermons, to give more money in faith, so that they will also receive more money back (including the preacher). 여러 번, when the offer is being taken a motivational speech is given about an experience, whereby the person was ‘blessed’ by the Lord as a result of giving money. The purpose of this message is to touch the believers in their emotions and feelings so that they will be encouraged to give.
But preachers, who preach this message are lost and don’t live in the Kingdom of God and are not led by the Word and the Spirit, but they live in the kingdom of this world and are led by the lust, 욕망, and greed of their flesh.
Of course it is true, that what you sow you will reap, and therefore if you sow money, 너는 돈을 벌 것이다. But do you only give to receive? And is this what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about and is this the message that Jesus wants His church to preach? Is this the message, where Jesus died for?
'세상의 소금이 되어라’
