THE LORD GOD'S MINISTRY
APOSTLE JAMES R, WINFREE SR, WORLDWIDE SOCIAL MEDIA MINISTRIES:
Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love:
Today is your day to make a turn for the better!
We Should Be Our Christians Brothers & Sisters Hands Up!
“Does the New Testament indicate that the early Christians were lovely by the Holy Spirit to equally share and, distribute their blessings and, possessions among each another?”
Yes, it does. Rather, the Apostles testifies to the voluntary, loving, and selfless disposition of the Church that the Lord God Jesus Christ Himself birth and established in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost:
“Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power, the Apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the Apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had a need” ( Acts 4:32-35, ).
The fruit of the Spirit was manifested in the lives of the early saints. From this, some have concluded that Christian Believers demands some kind of social and economic equality among its members. It is alleged that Christ taught religious socialism, or communism, where “all things common” means the mandated redistribution of possessions. This is not a biblical concept. It does not represent the facts recorded by the Apostles, and it does not conform to the sum of God’s Word about these matters. But Jesus Himself said out of His very own mouth, that everything God has is His, and, everything He has belongs to God.
the Apostles observed the gracious disposition of these early believers in Jesus Christ. This vast multitude was of one heart and soul. Their common interest in the gospel overshadowed their diversity. The Lord’s resurrection convicted them to act with loving concern for their spiritual brothers and, sisters.
The selling of property was not obligatory. The examples of Barnabas and Ananias demonstrate the voluntary nature of this method of benevolence. Apostle Peter told Ananias, “While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal?” ( Acts 5:4 ). It is apparent that not all Christ Believers were dispossessed of their property, for the disciples were later meeting in the house of Mary, Mark’s mother, in Acts 12:12., God wants and calls for cheerful givers only.
Not everyone received a distribution of what was laid at the Apostles’ feet. “It was distributed to each as any had need” ( Acts 4:35). “The fact that distribution was made to each as he had need, shows that it was only the needy who received anything and that there was no equalization of property” Where did it ever say that make preachers rich or wealthy and meet their needs first at in your bibles?
The needy had a legitimate lack of necessities. The Apostles would not have subsidized indigents who could work, yet refused to work. Those who can work, but do not, sin ( not those who can not, like some disabled, sick, elderly, etc.). The true biblical leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ starts with His chosen Apostles and, Prophets, not all the rest such as Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers, Elders, Bishops, Prophetess. so many of today's Churches and Ministries is out of biblical order. this is why your needs are not being met because of the fleshly self-centered selfish leadership you are under.
Apostle Paul admonished that the lazy unmotivated should go without if they will not work ( 2 Thess. 3:10 ). Thus, a man’s industry corresponds to his welfare, and God may bless men with prosperity as they work hard and seek spiritual wisdom. Likewise, the Bible teaches that a family has a greater moral obligation to their own ( 1 Tim. 5:3-8 ). If families would take care of their own needy, the Church, Apostle Paul says, would not be burdened unnecessarily ( 1 Tim. 5:16 ). But supporting the sluggard only encourages him to continue in sin.
The Church is not a fellowship to make you lazy, “Now both communism and fellowship (koinonia) have a root idea of ‘common.’ But after that, the two ideas go their separate ways. Communism says, ‘What is yours is mine, and I’ll take it!’ Fellowship says, ‘What is mine is yours; I’ll share it!’ The one forcibly invades the right of private property; the other voluntarily relinquish the right of private property where it sees a need freely and lovingly according to God's will and word, Amen.”
God's sons and, daughters should be especially concerned with the household of faith ( Gal. 6:10 ). Genuine faith and the love of God motivate them to assist their brethren with the world’s goods (Jas. 2:15-17; ) (1 Jn. 3:17 ). But the goal is not to bring out “economic justice.” This would contradict the law of sowing and reaping. Indiscriminate redistribution would put resources into the hands of the wasteful. It would reflect on God, who providentially blesses the industrious, wise, and generous Christ Followers. Jesus Himself met needs.
The goal of the Church is both physical and spiritual, although physical concerns are not to be neglected. The objective is heavenly and eternal, not earthly and temporary. Apostolic Biblical Authority and sound judgment must dictate the balanced use of its resources. if and when you need a biblical sound ministry we are here for you, those who are struggling in your faith walk. and ministers who have been real true help and support, for those who support and sow into this Apostle James R, Winfree Sr, Worldwide Social Media Ministries will get the help you need. Amen.
