Riches and honour are with me; да, durable riches and righteousness (пословице 8:18)
Шта је богатство? When you talk about riches and wealth, many people think immediately about money. Because in this world to be rich means having a lot of money. Right? But when the Bible speaks about riches and being rich, does the Bible also mean having a lot of money? Or does the Bible mean something else?
What is riches according to the world?
Money has become the center of society; everything evolves around money. It’s all about gaining as much money as possible. Some people don’t comply to the legislation, правила, terms, and conditions of companies, society, government etc. and do undeclared labour, починити превару, steal or try to evade taxes etc. They try to get as much money as possible, through all kinds of illegal ways, so that they can fulfil the lust and desires of their flesh. Али Бог све види.
The love for money and the greed for material things, only increases. И тужна ствар је, that it’s not only happening in the world, but there are many churches and congregations that are focused upon money. They preach carnal messages, that are focused upon finances and money.
What is riches according to the Kingdom of God?
But when God speaks about riches and wealth, He isn’t talking about money. The Kingdom of God doesn’t evolve around money, but it evolves around Jesus Christ, and the legacy you have received in Him.
When you accept Jesus, и поново се родити, then you’ve become a son of God. You have become a son of God and a co-heir in Jesus Christ. You have a new position: you are now седи у Исусу Христу, на Небеским местима, с десне стране Бога.
You don’t belong to the kingdom of darkness (царство овога света) више, али ти припадаш Царству Божијем. Вама неће владати и контролисати духови овога света, али ћеш имати власт над њима. У Исусу Христу, примио си власт над читавом војском непријатеља Божијег. Примили сте Духа Светога и ходаћете по Духу, а не по телу.
Духа Светога, је најдрагоценији Дар који сваки човек може добити у животу. Пребивалиште Светога Духа, постао си син/кћи Божија, и су више није грешник. Примили сте Божју природу, и сада можете ходати у Његовом богатству као син/кћи Божији.
Кад јеси седећи у њему, и ходите у Њему, ходаћеш у трајном богатству, и праведност. Ви ћете проповедати и донети Царство Божије на ову земљу, и знаци и чуда ће те пратити.
„Будите сол земље’
