If God gave us all we need for Godly life through the death and resurrection of jesus why was Peter or Paul not rich? Philippians 4:19 and 2 Conrithians 8:9

CAN I GET AN ANSWER.

Its a choice. They also had their mandate from christ. For example none of them was ordained to die natural death. That doesnt mean same thing must apply to everyone else. Every man should stay in his assignment

Truvel:
They Were Rich. Why? They Didn't Lack Anything. Jesus Himself Asked Them? Lackest Thou Anything? They Said No. So, It's Obvious That They Were Rich & Even According To D Book Of Acts, People Brought Money At Their Feet, Some Even Sold Their Lands Or Properties & Brought D Money At Their Feet It Out Too. They Had More Than Enough. The Were Also Favoured By People. God Gave Them Favour. Read Acts Chater4 & 5.

"Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven,
where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal."
- Matthew 6:20

"Sell your material possessions, and give the money to the poor.
Make yourselves wallets that don't wear out!
Make a treasure for yourselves in heaven that never loses its value!
In heaven thieves and moths can't get close enough to destroy your treasure."
- Luke 12:33

To be rich in worldly and/or perishable possessions, weren't priority for Peter, Paul and the apostles in bible days nor their focus, is your answer, lmso. I would have also quoted or provided Matthew 19:21, Mark 10:21 and/or Luke 18:22, but they actually, are a particular person specific

If you read Luke 12:33 contextually, you'll notice that it fits together with Philippians 4:19. As for 2 Corinthians 8:9, this is a naked truth nah

LordIsaac:
It is because, according to our motivational speakers cum pastors today, they didn't have much "faith"... Yet, Peter's shadow was raising the dead! It is only heaven that will forgive these gods of men making merchandize of the souls of men quoting Solomon and Abraham. It is a very grievous evil equating the sacrifice of Christ on the cross with material things Christ rebuked Satan for.

You forgot to add that the men did not pay tithe!

They were not rich. If you check the Bible in Philippians 4:15‭-‬17 GNT it says. You Philippians know very well that when I left Macedonia in the early days of preaching the Good News, *_you were the only church to help me_* ; you were the only ones who shared my profits and losses. *_More than once when I needed help in Thessalonica,* you sent it to me._ It is not that I just want to receive gifts; rather, I want to see profit added to your account. So Paul admitted that he needed help. Have u seen a rich man needing help from people? Most of our rich pastors today don't need your help.they have more than enough because they have unlocked the riches Jesus made available to christain's. instead the say you should give to the furtherance of the gospel

"Peter replied,
"Remember, we have left everything to be your followers! What will we get?"
(i.e. “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?”
Look, we've given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?) "

fanenene:
It's not about twisting the Bible it's a question because they had all it takes to make them rich but they where not.

fanenene:
It will be an Insult to say Jesus was rich. He was not because in him was where the rich christain's have today came out from.

BeLookingIDIOT:

Those old testament personalities they keep referencing weren't rushing after material possessions....it came to them.
Solomon their favourite referenced person demanded wisdom when he could have demanded so much wealth from God(the wealth which eventually led to his ruin)

op I guess you are a small boy spiritually, firstly, you are very wrong to compare apostles era to our present generation, never you compare your pastors to the apostles which are appointed by Jesus himself, while your pastors are appointed by the devil itself in order to decive you.

Will the Messiah (Christ) give any of his servants today a different "mandate" from the one he gave the Apostles? Why did you drag death into this?

Lol...chei!

What did they do with the money brought to them? Ewoo!

petra1:




John 21:19
Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”[

1Co 4:9 — 1Co 4:11
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.


They were not allow to have natural death. Question now is why dont you demand for death of every minister. If we must compare every minister to yhe example of the apostles on every way ,then no pastor should die by natural death . Every pastor must be killed

Truvel:
4 Demselves & 4 D Gospel.

Dude, I neither know what you are talking about nor do you know what you are on about. What did natural or unnatural death have to with their wealth or lack of it during their lifetimes?

Truvel:
Lol, Only Read Matt 19:27. U Should Read Down. After Peter Told Jesus & Asked Jesus Abt Their Reward. What Was Jesus Reply To Him? Jesus To Told Peter Dat Dey Would Recieve 10folds Of It, Including Riches, On Earth & In Heaven. How U Now Saying Dat What Jesus Said Didn't Come To Pass In Their Life?
