lol @ how God works...
 

Well, I recently moved into my new place. It's a one bedroom in northern MD, not far from where I work. I currently have ZERO, ZERO furniture. I mean, I'm typing this on the floor. I've been wondering how I would furnish my place. And, I pretty much came to the conclusion that either God is gonna just give me the furniture somehow, or I'll be saving for a long time. Well, today, I found out that I'm getting a 4,500. bonus from this foundation affiliated with us. And, because they're partnered with us, I get this money for simply working where I work. I get 1/2 on the next pay. Then, the other 1/2 later.


God is good man...I'm tellin you...My faith had always been that it'd just come all or nothing. Looks like I can furnish my entire crib and get that PLASMA I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!

Materialistic much lol

"Its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of the lord" (something lke that)

Nice lil blessing though :)

^^thats not materialistic that just means he has a father that cares for him

word son........

leather couches man, dont bargain hunt and go with the ultra seude, get leather u will not regret it... i'm tellin ya

god works for $5.50 an hour and no bathroom brakes...sorry im high *coughs*

A chuck norris round house kick to Gods' face would make him ugly

"I've come that you may have life, and have it MORE ABUNDANTLY."

I went there for a cd once and got lost, i was real young, i dont go there anymore =X

Give it to charity, if you're so sure God loves you.

get the fuck out of here

No. There's a time to sow and a time to reap. I give out of my check EVERY pay. God promises in his word that when you give, "I'll pour out a blessing that you won't have room enough to receive."


So, when it's your time, it's your time.

$4500 is a blessing you don't have room enough to receive?

You think God's only blessed me with 4500? I said this is A BLESSING God has given me. And, why are you mad? This is my plasma TV money.

Don't hate.

Oh...one more thing...

Your concept of money and wealth is a far cry different from mine...To me, I'm rich already. Wealth is something different. My job is just a means. The money that I have after I pay bills, give my tithes and offerings is Pocket change. My job is not the source of my sustenance. God is my source. I am wealthy because I have access to unlimited resources. The only limitation being my own mind-set.

When you learn to be happy for others, you'll be blessed yourself.


Give it to charity? LOL....

Then quit your job and see if God pays your bills with random blessings. It just doesn't work like that, you are getting money because you have a job.

If anything money is a curse... Think about it for a second. If Jesus was alive today, and he got $4500 dollars, what do you think he would do? I definitely DON'T think he would spend it on a plasma TV for his apartment, so he can have slightly crisper image quality while he watches a football game, while people are dying and suffering and in desperate need of love.

I am not telling you to give away the money or whatever, but stop kidding yourself. You are NOT selfless, you are selfish! That's just the way things are. Say sorry and move on, don't think "Oh, im special, God is blessing me because I give a little bit of my change away every pay check, I am a chosen child of God and God loves and cares for me more than other people so he gave me $4500 and blessed me." By doing that you're just being even more selfish and delusional.

God loves you as much as he loves that crack addict bum that lives in an alley and murdered some dude earlier in his life. He loves you as much as he loves Osama Bin Laden, as much as he loves Hitler, as much as he loves the white dudes that lynched blacks for no reason. If you consider $4500 a blessing, as in a repayment for something you've done, then you are a materialistic fool and you don't understand anything. Yeah, it's helpful, but you are "blessed" in so many other ways which you apparently don't care about as much as money. Basically everything is a blessing, so don't be ungrateful. If some dude punches you in the face and steals your $4500 then you should thank the lord because you are alive and got to feel a punch and theft in your lifetime. If you saw a leaf being blown by the wind, you should be so grateful that you would be happy to die right then and there because your life was fulfilled and you required nothing more.

If your whole family was killed in an earthquake or something, you can be sad, but you should be grateful and consider it a blessing as much as you have this money that you got.

You see what I'm saying? By being "more" thankful or whatever for this money it shows that you are biased towards "worldly" shit (as in the bible's meaning of worldly), which is exactly what you're not supposed to be. You could say you are thankful for the other stuff, but your actions say something different.

money is the root of all evil....so it probably was the devil not god

oh boy terumoto you have that conception all wrong....God says if you truely want to be happy you will WORK so of course you have to work to get money..you dont just expect to get it off the tree's.......It says in the bible a thing that brings happiness is working because it makes it so you can have a place to live,eat,etc.

Did you only read the first sentence of my post?

Anyway, if you want to go by the bible, it also says that worldly things such as money are worth nothing and you shouldn't give a shit about them, and that you should give as much as you possible can to people who need it more than you do.

WTF @ Teru schooling all the Christians in here.

I'm sad FOR you guys.

Listen no one will ever win this argument ever...everytime i attempt to argue its pointless because I Believe in what I THINK I CANT CHANGE YOUR MIND you beleive in WHAT YOU THINK You cant CHAGNE MY MIND.......simple and plain so i wont get into anymore

No, man. Teru just won, but you're not paying attention.

how did he win?

when there was no argument to begin with...i stated i wasn't going to argue in the post above you because no one would win.....

Man, what is the worst that can happen? Nothing will be lost, and it is very likely you or I will learn something.

LOL, that's exactly it.

I already have a mentor.....

Money isn't the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

You have no concept of seasons of sowing and reaping. When God gives you something, it's for you to have. Before that time comes, there are lots of rejections, lots of struggle. The reason being, God prepares us for what he wants us to have.

The truth is, with or without this blessing I'd have my place furnished. I believe that God's favor on me is as such that people would literally GIVE it to me.

You have no concept of this PERSONAL relationship with God because Buddhism and whatever else you believe in doesn't teach that.

When God give me wealth, it isn't just for me. It will be so that I can continue being a blessing to those around me. Me earning well over 6 figures will be so that I can do the things God has placed in my heart to do. All the finer things in life will be the cherry on top.

I'm in a state of abundance right now. 4500? That's pocket change.

Don't get it twisted.

Exactly..."If you don't work, you don't eat."


My job is an opportunity for me to be a blessing to other people. We have been LIED to to think we have to "work" to be happy.


It's a lie.

You all keep quoting the bible where it says GIVE. Yet, you REFUSE to quote the part that says once yoiu give..."God will HAVE MEN POUR BLESSINGS INTO YOU LIFE THAT WILL OVERFLOW."


GIving is the first 1/2....Receiving is the other.

Tero isn't schooling me with errant doctrine.








He's not a Christian.

You're not going to learning anything...why?

"Ever learning yet never coming to the knowledge of truth."

Once you drop all your misconceptions of truth, you'll start to truly be happy Tero.




Right now, you struggle with your own mind. There's no peace there. Why? There's no peace to anyone who isn't a child of God, the father of our Lord Jesus.


Kid yaself...NOT

TELL EM nigga



JE--=Je---HJESSSUUUUS!

Why does God favor you over other people? I am sorry to tell you this, but the "will" of God is every single thing that happens. You are wealthy because you work hard for your money and you have drive for success, not because God handed you cash on a silver platter.

If your logic is true, then God is blessing Columbian drug lords for their great service to humanity... Ruining countless lives and families, and causing drug addiction. But hey, they get lots of women and have lots of money, it must be a blessing from God.

What about a homeless preacher, so happy with the Lord's word that he wants to spread it to others, and try his best at leading others to salvation. Unfortunately many people like this exist, and most of them, like every other hobo, will die an early, painful death caused by disease or general unhealthiness.

The world isn't made of rainbows and sunshine and blessings for people who give 10% of their paycheck away and don't know exactly where it goes. I am not saying there is anything wrong with this world, I'm just saying you're acting odd. In case you forgot, you're a sinner, but God loves you no matter what it is you do. You can't win God's favor, and trying to do so is a selfish endeavor.

What you are doing is like saying to God, who has GIVEN you his love and blessings, "Oh, thanks God for rewarding me for my actions and favoring me over others because of the things I have done, it's good to know that you've given me your blessing because of a few actions that I've done." Sure, be happy God has blessed you, but don't go around claiming shit like "Ohh, sowing and reaping, God just blesses me because I'm a nice guy." If anything, God blesses you because HE is a nice guy.

And so what if I'm not a christian... Don't forget, it's against your religion to judge someone because of their religion. Just because I no longer label myself a Christian, doesn't mean I know nothing of God.



Is that so... Peace only to the people who are Sons of God? Who, may I ask, is NOT a son of the father? Are you trying to tell me that I'm not a child of God?

^^you ever heard of Steven The Levite

somtimes even if you stay true to the lords word you wont always get everything....
