obadiah777: I THINK THIS SITUATION ONLY APPLIES TO AFRICANS. IN MORE DEVELOPED PARTS OF THE WORLD PEOPLE SHUN MATERIALISM TO LOOK FOR GOD. I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE AWAY EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO BE CLOSER TO GOD. RASHIDI YEKINI COMES TO MINDThis is pure fallacy! I dont mean to be harsh but you are broke!

Emmy9ite: This is pure fallacy! I dont mean to be harsh but you are broke! You have a poor mindset, the earlier you realise this, the better for you!1 TIMOTHY 6 VS 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 VS 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. YOU HAVE A PLEBEIAN MENTALITY. YOU ARE SATISTIED WITH HUMMERS AND BMWS AND TRUCKS. I AM AIMING FOR THE OWNERSHIP OF THE WORLD REV 2 VS 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: PSALM 37 VS 29 And the righteous ones inherit the Earth and dwell upon it for eternity. I WANT CONTROL OVER MEN. RIGHTEOUS CONTROL. THATS THE MENTALITY I AM WORKING WITH. A RULING CLASS MENTALITY. ETERNAL CONTROL OVER MEN LIKE YOU. |

This is proof that poverty has a sobering effect. It is not so much as the depravity of poverty but the hopelessness. It breaks u and sobers you up. God's minutest message to you becomes magnified and you begin to see things your peers are blind to. You have no choice but to go on your knees. 1 Like |

What will be used to bury you?.....money! What will buy the coffin?....money! Money will only make you more of what you already are, if you are generous, money will make you more generous, if you are wicked, money will make you more wicked. How many charity foundations are started by poor people, i believe you ve heard of bill gate's charity foundation, you must have heard abt that of John d. Rockefeller. Dont be deceived bro, the love of money is not the root of all evils, the lack of money is what causes evil. Have you wondered why your pastors are not as broke as you are(#NoBeef)? They know that its money that builds the churches, its money that sends people on missionary journey. Still not convinced? Try depositing your poverty to the bank and see how your teller would look like. Advice: be poor in spirit, money will make you more compassionate when you do that. Thank you! |

CHECK MY SIG, THAT MY BUSINESS. I AM INTO DIAGNOSTIC CARDIOLOGY. HOWEVER YOU NEED TO GET IT INTO YOUR PRIMITIVE AFRICAN BRAIN THAT NOT EVERYBODY LIKES BIG SHINY OBJECTS. I AM INTO MINIMALIST LIVING MEANING I DONT THRIVE IN CLUTTER. I DONT NEED TO BE AROUND OR OWN TOO MANY STUFF CUZ IT CLUTTERS MY MIND. I AM THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO HAS 10 MILLION POUNDS CASH IN A BANK BUT WILL RIDE AROUND IN A BICYCLE AND OWN NO CARS, I KNOW YOUR PRIMITIVE COVETOUS AFRICAN BRAIN CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT MATERIALISTIC. I AM NOT POOR BUT I DONT USE MY MONEY TO BUY STUFF. I USE MY MONEY FOR EXPERIENCES LIKE TRAVELLING ETC. GERRIT ? IF YOU HAD ENOUGH BRAIN TO CHECK MY INITIAL STATEMENT, I EMPHASIZED 'MATERIALISM' NOT 'POVERTY'. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ASSUMED I WAS PROMOTING POVERTY. 'MATERIALISM' IS DIFFERENT FROM POVERTY. 'MATERIALISM' IS COVETOUSNESS. 2 Likes |

Hey, let us leave our life-styles out of all these and return back to the forum, no one should please take anything too seriously. It is just reverse psychology. When you for instance take the side of the poor - someone might assume you are poor - but that is the way normal humans think. So no offense please. |

You will die with your lackluster and lackadaisical attitude!(there is room for change anyway) I have made my point, its left for you to choose between getting rich or dying broke(thats how your type die anyway). Being rich is not about having a fat account, how many 'poor' people have you been able to touch? How much have you given to charity? A philantropist knows exactly how to help the poor. By the way, you still have a poor mindset, reset it and grow rich mentally, spiritually and financially! |

It either gives them hope of becoming rich someday or because they have more time on their hand and the absence of a God replacement(in d case of those we aren't really interested in wealth). |

FROM MY EXPERIENCE OF MINGLING WITH PEOPLE, THE ONES WHO TALK ABOUT WEALTH ALL THE TIME ARE ACTUALLY THE POOR ONES. THATS WHY YOU TALK ABOUT IT SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU ARE POOR. YOU ARE LUSTING FOR WHAT YOU DONT HAVE. PEOPLE WHO DONT TALK ABOUT MONEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE IT. ALL YOUR POST HERE ON THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN ABOUT MONEY MONEY MONEY. THAT MAKES ME KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT YOU ARE A POOR COVETOUS MO-RON. MAYBE IF YOU PRAYED HARD TO YOUR FATHER SATAN HE WILL BLESS WITH YOU WITH THAT MONEY YOU DONT HAVE. HE WILL BLESS YOU WITH THAT MONEY YOU SO DESIRE. |

seunmustwac: And still poor, many pastors will still try to force them to tithe if they want to get breakthroughs.Which is wrong. Tithing is what the bible asks of us but forcing people to do it is just plain annoying. I hate when churches have log books for tithers n non tithers |

@obadia77 You just proved to me, without reasonable doubt that you are a fool at 40..QED! If your stupidity could be turned into electricity, Nigeria will never go dark for 100 years. I cannot boast of my assets with a fool like you on a faceless forum. Only God knows why you were not aborted at the first place..smh Thanks for calling me poor, i guess i will make heaven then..lol you just reminded me of my favourite quote, ''never argue with a fool cos he will always bring you down to his level and win you at it''. You are the proverbial fool. |

Re: Why Do People Become More Spiritual When They Are Poor? by UjSizzle(f): 3:38pm On Oct 27, 2012 |
pastormustwacc:oh shut up! Just because you don't think tithing is necessary doesn't mean i should too. If Abraham paid tithe as a thankful offering for what God has done for him not because it was placed as law, why can't i do the same? You just go right ahead to assume all tithe payers do so because we've been brainwashed into paying a tenth. What i give to the church and why i give is between myself and my God. |
