I have heard
many people bragging that they are rich. As the time went on I realised that
they were not true to themselves.
In actual fact,
if someone have got a single house and a single car that person is poor. If you
do not have something to give of feed somebody no matter how you convince
yourself you are very poor.
If a person have
got enough to give and feed somebody and have enough money to finance a ministry,
this is fine he can be counted among the rich people.
There are so many
people who have given in churches- bought keyboards, chairs and pulpits among
others and want their names to be written on a plaque. This is not regarded as
giving but it is advertising somebody`s name.
The bible is
clear when it comes to giving. It actually says that your left hand must not
know what your right hand has given. What does this mean? The answer is clear
and straight forward. When you give to anybody you must not advertise it but be
awakened that God who sees what you have done privately will bless you publicly.
I have seen and
heard people singing that they gave such a thing to a particular church or somebody.
The most painful part of it is that even the one who is given end up regretting
why he/she has taken the gift.
If someone does
not take a duty somewhere somehow to feed and support anyone no matter how
he/she convince himself/herself poverty defines him/her.
