Ps.37:
25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I
not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
As
believers, it’s time for us to truly get a revelation of the above passage of
scripture so that the complaining and murmuring about one’s status and the lack
of material possessions among the saints would cease.
The
passion and desire for material possession has a subtle, cunning and unhealthy string
attached that’s designed to distract one from sincerely focusing on God and His
kingdom.Notwithstanding that God is not
opposed to His children having abundance of possessions and wealth.
Watch
this!
Matt.6:
33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
There’s
no doubt that we’re living in a materialistic world where it seems as if the
order of the day is; to get all that you can, and can (bank) all that you get. In most cases, it also seems as if the
wicked, the corrupt, the ungodly and the compromising religious church-folks
are the ones that are prospering in everything that they do.
If
the above thoughts ever ran through your mind and you’ve somewhat questioned
what you’re seeing as it relates to the prosperity of the above mentioned character
traits persons; you’re not alone and it’s not a sin.
Take
the time to study (Psalm 37) and you will see that David was troubled with the
very seem thoughts and feelings; but based upon his relationship with Yahweh
and by faith, David knew that the prosperity of the wicked is short lived.
Here’s what he said!
Ps.37:
37:1.
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the
workers of iniquity.
:
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green
herb.
:
3. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily
thou shalt be fed.
:
4. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart.
:
5. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to
pass.
Let
me hasten to say that “Because you’re not able to meet your financial obligations
at this time (Mortgage, Rent, Bank or Private loans, etc;) or any other
obligations as you would like too; by no means does this implies that God is
not with you”
Your
position should be, to remain faithful unto God, walk in love with all men,
even your enemies; knowing that this battle is not yours, but the lord’s. And being the righteous person that you are,
when God brings you out; you will fulfill all of your obligations.
Again,
here’s what David says about this righteous man / good man:
Ps.37:
22.
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed
of him shall be cut off.
:
23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his
way.
:
24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth
him with his hand.
:
25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
A
true believer / disciple of Yahshua Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) in this
day and time; cannot be distracted by corrupt politics and wicked religions. While
it’s good to have prayer partners, we’re at a point and time whereby
individually each one of us must spend that quality / personal time in prayer with
God (Yahweh). And then not only hearing
what He’s saying in prayer, but also obediently / faithfully adhere to what is
said.
Despite
the fact that there are many wolves dressed in sheep clothing who have ascended
the pulpit and are methodically, mercilessly fleecing their sheepfold / naïve, itching
ears followers via their twisted / incomplete prosperity gospel. It is and will
forever be God’s will to prosper His obedient, faithful children / servants.
Ps.35:
27. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that
favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
There’s
also an erroneous religious mind-set which would have you to believe that God’s
prosperity, favor and goodness are not relevant on this side of heaven.
Again,
here’s what David said:
Ps.27:
13. I had fainted, unless I had believed
to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
The
righteous will never be forsaken:
