Jesus said:

"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 (KJV)}

Luke 12:16-21 (KJV)

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

well, if you criticize the daddy G.O's of today, their followers will attack you and tell you that your generation can't be as wealthy as their pastors.

At least you can see yourself that Jesus Himself was against such a mindset, because it is not of God but of the devil.

That's the extent to which the church has lost it and are far from God.

And this also shows that Jesus is not their Lord and Master in Truth, for the person whose words they keep is their lord, and with such a saying it's obviously not Jesus.

Well stated Op... covetousness, materialism - which unchecked can be tantamount to idolatry - are vanity, and have a consequential end:

"The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The Lord alone will be exalted in that day, But the idols He shall utterly abolish. They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the [c]earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily. In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the moles and bats, To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the crags of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily." - Isaiah 2:17-21


"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” - John 6:27

Thanks for sharing.

God bless you bro.

Hear what Jesus says, so when you hear some church leaders or their followers justify the lives of some men using the basis of Earthly riches, you'd know where they are coming from.

It's certainly not from Jesus!

Hear the Truth from the mouth of Jesus not the lies that the prophets of mammon have been preaching, that the life of a man consists in the abundance of possession he has.

The Truth that shall set you mammon worshippers free.

Who told you that the life of a man consists in the abundance of possession a man has?

Certainly not Jesus!

I love Jesus.

No mercy for the devil.

Speak to us Master Jesus, for people need to hear the Truth.

Since Man ate that forbidden fruit, all things that were previously good, now have their evil counterpart!

Let him who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches

Very important saying for the church.

The Words of the Spirit.

Speak Lord for the servant heareth.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

We hear you Lord!
