HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME (PS.138:2)

DOES GOD REALLY MAKE WORLDLY PROSPERITY A PRIORITY IN A WORLD HE ALLOWS SATAN TO CONTROL?
🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥
For those in our various families and groups, we have heard a lot about this subject, from which I received many expletives including jealous and envious.
This morning,I listened to Bishop Oyedepo asking us to be humble to learn from Christ Jesus as everyone is still learning. It was followed by his most faithful Abioye declaring at Paul Enenche's dome, apparently on invitation to LIVE PROSPERITY PREACHERS ALONE.
I'm not obligated to be believed that hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I don't stand here to say I'm as good as anyone,how much more than them. After all, I literally beg to survive (a beggar) *BUT HAVING EQUAL RIGHTS AS CUSTODIANS OF GOD'S WORD,I FELT THE URGE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AGAIN.*
Are the bishops actually humbling themselves to learn from our Lord and Savior or Christ Jesus, the rightful Owner of the WORK humbling Himself to learn from them, HIS OWN MESSENGERS. For instance, Christ Jesus NEVER for ONCE referred to His Birth nor any record of Him attending a birthday party. But on His Death,He gave specifics...DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. The only two birthdays recorded in the Bible ended in gruesome deaths, and if you read of the practice in those ages,you will understand why. The wisest and richest human ever said;
A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. (Ecc 7: 1) Let's not talk about those that cursed the day of their birth, lest we digress.
NOW,IS CHRIST JESUS HUMBLING HIMSELF TO LEARN FROM THEM ...I SHOULD THINK SO, EXCEPT THEY REVERSED THE TREND.
*WE SHOULDN'T DIGRESS FROM THE CAUSE OF MY PAINS AND PAST INSULTS*

What does the Bible say about needs and wants?Are we truly discerning essentials from desires?
WHERE IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE DOES GOD'S WORD PRIORITIZE PROSPERITY ABOVE SAVING OF LOST SOULS?
The Bible guides us in distinguishing NEEDS from WANTS, urging TRUST in GOD for ESSENTIALS and CAUTIONING AGAINST GREED. It's a CALL to PRIORITIZE SPIRITUAL OVER MATERIAL WEALTH.
I am of the view that till today, many (ESPECIALLY PROSPERITY PREACHERS) do not know why *Archbishop Benson Idahosa* suddenly left the scene without the fulfillment of his God given mandate. I will end that one there until required.
The Bible differentiates between needs and wants by emphasizing trust in God to provide for our needs. Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus," encouraging reliance on God rather than pursuing excessive desires.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START OR HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE. BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS APPOINTED ONE OF HIS FALLEN ANGELS (DEMON CALLED MAMMON) TO USE THE LOVE OF MONEY TO DISTRACT MANY PREACHERS AND HEARERS FROM GOD'S TRUE WORD.
The Bible emphasizes God’s provision for our needs and advises discernment regarding our wants.
Prayer is highlighted as a means to communicate with God about our true necessities.
Scriptures encourage contentment and warn against the love of money.
offering biblical insights into recognizing God's hand in meeting our needs and guiding us to let go of unnecessary wants.
A preacher once challenged listeners to consider what they truly need, encouraging a lifestyle that reflects BIBLICAL values of STEWARDSHIP and SIMPLICITY over CONSUMERISM and ACCUMULATION OF MATERIAL WANTS.
UNDERSTANDING NEEDS AND WANTS IN BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ! (MATT.6:19-
🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥
The distinction between NEEDS and WANTS is addressed in biblical texts. The Scriptures guide believers to differentiate between essential needs and less critical wants.
Biblically, needs refer to essential requirements for survival and well-being, such as food, clothing, and shelter. BUT, FIRST OF ALL, WE MUST HAVE THE MINDSET THAT GOD TOOK HIS MIND AWAY FROM THIS WORLD AFTER THE GREAT FALL OF MAN. ALSO KNOW THE EARTH IS STILL GOD'S OWN, BUT THE WORLD (SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT) IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE DEVIL.
And that God has rejected,and because He knows it would happen immediately switched over to the provisions He has made for it;
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Gen 3: 15)
AND THIS IS WHERE MOST OF US ARE GETTING WRONG. SOME OF US THINK ALL THE PROMISES GOD MADE WERE FOR THIS WORLD THAT GOD HAS REJECTED....NO,NO AND NO AGAIN;
1. Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. (Heb 11: 1-2)
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (Heb 11: 13)
BY THE TIME WE'RE THROUGH WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEEDS AND WANTS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT ABRAHAM AND THE REST SURVIVED ON*NEEDS*, NOT THE FORM OF PROSPERITY,WE HAVE MADE OUR MESSAGE AND gODs TODAY.
Having said that, WANTS may include items or experiences that are desired but not essential. The Bible discerns that WANTS can lead to DISSATISFACTION and UNREST, as reflected in the Psalm of David, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1).
Without the need of quoting many scriptures,we saw how Abraham,had his NEEDS met and how a WANT (Ishmael) became a thorn in the flesh of the world today,as orchestrated by the devil. Or is Isaac who WANTED bush meat and Rebecca using it to put division between two twins and Jacob paying heavily for it,or Lot greedily choosing Sodom and Gomorrah. WANTS has always been a chain that the devil had continuously used in setting traps throughout the Old Testament. Imagine David and Bathsheba, Solomon's adventure into more knowledge and wisdom and more women.ALL NEEDS WERE MET,BUT THEY WANTED MORE. AND AT APPROPRIATE TIME, CHRIST CAME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.We shall return with more on this
