DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 11

DRIVE THE CHANGE STEP 11

25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.

Drive the change- Start with your family. Your real marriage is to the Lord. The husband-wife-children relationship is just an earthly model to see how you make it work. If you can’t make it work, you may not be invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb. Sons and daughters - honor your mother and father, if you want to live long. The Hebrew word kabad and the Greek word time’ for ‘honor’ means ‘making rich’ or even ‘money paid’.

Providing for your aging parents’ ranks higher than paying Korban to your church. Tithing for church maintenance are neither a part of the Ten Commandments, nor a requirement in the New Testament but taking care of parents and the poor, widows, orphans, the disaffected, the marginalized and the hurting are the focus of the Scriptures because the church thrives in the broken world where people sincerely pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” and mean it. It rapidly stagnates when it starts entertaining the rich. 

While regular Christians seek the King without seeking the kingdom, the social activists seek the kingdom without the King. Both are deluded. The kingdom is wholistic, is here and now and advancing daily, and presumably only those who are advancing will enter the kingdom. The business of the church is to wipe away tears until there be no poor in the kingdom, not by just providing “soup kitchens” or declaring a “war on poverty program” by giving hand outs, thus creating dependency but first do “assets mapping” of gifts, talents, skills and abilities that already exist in the community and then strategically invest in restoring dignity by identifying with them and empowering them to dislodge the oppressive systems that make them poor and powerless. This is possible only through the power of the gospel.  (Eph. 5:25-33; Matt. 19:23,24; James 2:5; Deut. 6:5;7; 15:4; 2 Cor. 9:6,7; Luke 4:18; Col. 3:17; Rev.19:9; Psalm 14: 6; Exo. 20:12, Mal. 4:5,6)
