Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods

One key to prosperity is the first commandment.

 How many of God's people attempt to do business with the polytheists? Whereas this may be necessary in a big stretch, the problem is that pagans always imagine themselves superior to Christians and the demons that guide them and impersonate the deities they worship are so inevitably and vehemently anti-Christian for many reasons, among which that they simply hate God. So anyone carrying the Holy Spirit will be reacted against.

Worse are the groups that actually believe in, worship and serve the Devil, because that entity wants to be God, even though that entity never could. These peoples and societies must be allowed to continue on their bent so that they may receive judgment. But suffice it to point out their sense of economics is certainly nothing like actual (or true Christian) economics.

How so? One example is the gross domestic product. That is not true wealth. The true wealth is the Christian domestic product, measured on a global scale. And based on observations of the early 21st century, the earth is thrust into virtually total abject poverty. 

Some of those billionaires don't know what true wealth is. It's actually because they are living in poverty. In the correct economic climate they would, if they were the faithful, be controlling the flow of trillions of what is called these days "dollars". This may seem an exaggeration but I assure you it is not.

The worldly, as we politely put it, are renowned for their incompetence although their arrogance and self-deception would let on otherwise. Remember that because they have nothing else behind them, they are masters at projecting a false front or facade.

You may say that you don't see all that much prosperity amongst the Christians. That's because in the simplicity of your mind, you're looking at institutionalized Christianity. All institutions, since the dawn of time have been infiltrated by pagans and the gullible Christian Institutionalisms are no exception.  They, too, have the polytheistic -- or worse, duo theistic -- leash around their necks.  The cover of the infiltrator is the ceremonialism.  The religious traditionalism.

If you go along with that, you're an idiot. Jesus Himself denounced ceremonialism. Or didn't you read that? He said "Ye, by your traditions have brought to naught the council of God".

And that's what Christian Economics is all about: Getting God's instructions and carrying them out. That's also faith. And that's obedience to God.  By worshiping the Father in Spirit and in Truth, you can get the instructions of God and also have the faith to be a doer; to carry them out.  That's true Christianity: the Sacrifice of God's Son, Jesus, Who died for us, reconciles us to God the Father and re-unites us to God so we can again serve God and rejoice in His Love.

You might also think that Christianity is limited to the last two thousand years; that there was no Christianity before that, before the physical advent of Christ. You might think that there was no Christianity before the division time between B.C. and A.D. or the "common era" as the pagans (and anti-Christians among the monotheists) like to put it. But the word or name "Christos", or Christ, means the "The Anointed One of God".

People looked foreword to the coming of The Son and Anointed of God since the days of Abel in the Old Testament Era. So the born-again Christian was around since the beginning when they "looked foreword" to the advent of the Christ. So that makes Moses a born-again Christian and Abraham and everyone else who looked foreword to Jesus during the Old Testament days, B.C. Probably as far back as old Adam himself.

Abraham was probably one of the best Christian economists ever and was described as "the father of faith". And so it was with all who believed in the coming of the Messiah -- all these were born again! Jesus explained: "Abraham saw My day and rejoiced".

The sacrifice of Abel was a type of the sacrifice God made for all of us, past, present, and future, in that God would have to give His only begotten Son that He would die for the sins of the world and also to redeem mankind and restore the cosmos.

You mean you didn't know this? Well, now you do. a lot of people use the examples of the impostors and the duped as an excuse to reject Christianity. They reject it because they're duped into thinking to be wealthy they must go against the teachings of the Bible.

But Christianity works. The blessings abound, the true prosperity is certain -- though not in worldly terms, as the cruel and the heartless think -- but in the true sense of completed rounded prosperity; sufficiency in all things, seen and unseen, known and unknown.

Sometimes the Christian is seen to be slow in prospering, but that's because God begins prospering the Christian in a different way with different priorities. You must have a foundation before you put up the fancy shutters.

Actually the principle is illustrated in jet propulsion. As the fuel burns with oxygen, thrust is achieved. But no thrust is attained unless the fuel is given. Then oxygen is received freely and the plane moves at great speeds.

So give and it shall be given.
