God’s ELECT = RICH in FAITH vesus World’s Elite = world’s riches.
As
time goes by in this world towards the end, the disparity between the rich and
poor is increasing daily at an astounding rate.
This
is very apparent from the known statistic that since the 2008 financial crisis
there have been more billionaires created than at anytime in this world. Yet,
at the same time, more and more people are falling into conditions of poverty. There
is so much suffering, starvation and sorrow by countless people in this world
where over one billion people live on the edge of poverty.
The
Scriptures tells us that “The profit of the earth is for all: the king himself
is served by the field” (Ecclesiastes 5:9).
However,
this is not what has transpired in the world. What kind of world is this where
a recent article headlined: “World's eight richest people have same wealth as
poorest 50%”.
Now,
it is easy to feel left out in this world being poor or living on the edge of poverty
or simply just making ends meet from pay check to pay check.
But,
let us keeping building our FAITH because Holy Scriptures says:
“Hath
not God chosen the [POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH], and heirs of the kingdom
which he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5).
Also,
let us be reminded that our Lord Jesus Christ says:
“Take
heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15).
“Woe
unto you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation” (Luke 6:24). “How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:24).
“Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
“Fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the
kingdom” (Luke 12:32).
“The
wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm
9:17).
“Riches
profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death”
(Proverbs 11:4).
“Truth
shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven”
(Psalm 85:11).
