There is a law, older than the hills, practiced for thousands of
years and recorded for posterity: it is the Universal Law of Financial
Sustainability. It is enshrined as a foundation pillar of all
monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam; yet many
people, including millions of practicing religious zealots, misinterpret
and teach the principle selfishly. As a result: many teachers are
blessed, but their students remain poor.
Think of this: the
Covenant of Abraham, an everlasting tenet which offers: in alphabetical
order--all spiritually obedient Christians, Jews and
Muslims--preferences in wealth, health and other things, would make
their God look like a liar if you were to judge by the lifestyles of
many adherents. How many poor and sick Christians do you know? How many
sick and poor Jews do you know? How many poor and sick Muslims do you
know? Got the picture? Someone, somewhere is either not teaching the
laws correctly, or there are millions who are appearing religious but
are deficient in their part of the bargain. I can speak to those issues
because I affirm that the God of Abraham, Isaac, Esau, Jeshua and
Mohammed is alive, a permanent covenant-keeper and most of all cannot
lie. Nowhere in any of His dictates can you find the word "maybe." He
makes specific promises; you meet the requirements and HE MUST FULFIL
THEM. It is written: "Let God be true, but every man a liar." In other
words: the entire world can make statements that are incorrect; however,
for our God, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO LIE.
Let us make some
serious affirmations here: A witness to God's word must know the author
of His word. First a person must know, not know about, not know His word
alone, but must Know Him as in a father/son or father/daughter
relationship. That is His entire purpose of perpetually purging
humankind to climb up to that exalted "rest" where we know Him on a one
and one basis. It is so sad to report that millions of preachers,
teachers and shepherds have not yet reached that plateau. I was so
saddened three weeks ago when I heard a missionary lament that she
longed for the day when she would see the types of miracles that existed
during the time when Jeshua and his witnesses walked this earth. My
mouth flew open wide in disbelief and my heart sank. I suddenly realized
why her friend and mentor died suddenly. Her mentor saw a miracle
happen in the church he built. It did not happen when he prayed for the
sick. A former whoremonger, but now sold-out-for-God-missionary prayed
for a young woman who was in a wheelchair and God touched her. Her late
friend did not just wonder out loud if it was the devil who ordained the
miracle to fool him and his flock; he stood on the altar of God and
said so out of his own mouth. Why did he not ask the God he served? I
found out that sadly He had not established and received direct
communication lines where he could go to God and receive specific
answers for His flock. Maybe the spirits of pride and jealousy blocked
his hearing? Maybe other things? So because he could not hear from God
no one else could? It is written: "Test the spirits to see if they be of
God." It is called the gift of discernment. Pray for it. How can you
lead troops into battle and not hear instructions from your
Commander-in-Chief? So to be brief: our God is alive, hears, speaks,
instructs, forgives, blesses and keeps His promises forever!
The
Covenant of Abraham is an everlasting "Faith Covenant". We, the seed of
Abraham have stringed prophetic messages affirmed by history and
miraculous events. We are the only people on earth whose lands, history,
prophetic paths, our different religious ways and even our shortcomings
follow specific prior prophetic guidelines. View pages online of "The
Golden Fleece Found!" for the template showing over 1000 prophetic
pronouncements that the seed of Abraham have fulfilled.
Jews and
Christians call the Law of Financial Sustainability---TITHING---and
Muslims call the law Zakat. First I must explain the principles so that
everyone can appreciate how deep this law is. I live by it. It is the
best banking secret in the world. It allows you to function without
getting into debt-cycles that cannot be broken. It covers more than
monetary gifts. It is about sowing seeds of righteousness. Fruits of
righteousness and spiritual obedience bring miracles.
This
quarantine station called "earth" is designed as the Universe's
reproduction center where physical and spiritual seeds-especially
spiritual energy seeds can incubate in any living or growing organism
and afterward reproduce like "etes" (mislabeled as "plants" in English)
after their kinds. Whatever seeds you sow will reproduce. Sow hate and
it reproduces. Sow love and it reproduces exponentially because Agape,
unselfish love (not carnal substitutes "lust ") is God-ordained and
governed by His universal exponential laws. There is no doubt at all
that this Universe is a giant clock. The perfectly spherical orbs
function collectively in regulating seasons, time, weather and more. The
fact that it is so accurate, predictable and keeps repetitious time,
means it was designed intelligently. Whereas the laws of science dictate
that evidence underpins scientific theory, on one issue only, science
is allowed to shift the goal post. Hence scientists are not allowed to
acknowledge that the Universe is an intelligently designed clock. Even
though a key tenet of scientific law states: anything that keeps
repetitious time has a prime mover. In their secret organizations, all
affirm that there is a Great Architect of the Universe. All agree that
most mighty forces that existed prior to earth's existence are
invisible: electromagnetism, heat, gravity etc. Therefore in the
pre-earth domain, things that wisdom-deficient humans cannot see, they
do exist. Witnesses testify of their presence and behaviour. I bear
witness that God sustains, forgives, blesses, heals, speaks and
multiplies seed exponentially.
Sowing seeds of worth.
Once during a world convocation of missionaries and pastors, I observed a missionary in the laundry room. He went there nightly to wash his shirt, dry it in a towel and iron it afterward. Every morning he was the spiffiest and best-dressed person. Not knowing if he was proud, another missionary wrapped three shirts in a bag and told him if during his travels he could find anyone who could use those shirts, a belt, a tie and a pair of shoes, please feel free to bless them. He was so excited and thankful. The donor of those gifts, left via Switzerland to make connecting flights back to their home countries. There he received an invitation to fellowship with other Christians in that nation. That Christmas, the donor received I dozen designer shirts, six suede shoes, about 1 dozen belts, and over two dozen silk ties. His seed multiplied.

For
me personally, whenever I am financially embarrassed, I look for the
Salvation Army's kettle and make sure I put some money in it. Why? That
is good ground. They give most of what they collect to the poor. They
wear the same types of clothes; so they do not retain the poor's money
for expensive clothes. They and Adventists are always blessed
financially. Adventists take most of their collected monies to build
clinics, and they are very active in feeding the poor. They build
hospitals and clinics. "It is written: Give and it shall be given unto
you, pressed down shaken together and running over." It is also written:
Whatever you do to the least of these (those who are much less
fortunate than you are) you have done it for God.
