fanenene:"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 |

petra1: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. |

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.

It's not about tithe remember the christain's sold all they had and brought to the apostles feet some lands, gold and precious things and it was recorded that as they brought it it was shared according to everyone need. Look it up in acts 2:43-47 Kobojunkie: |

Kobojunkie:Exactly o .. I just look at them and shake my head. Even Christ, when explaining what makes a true believer, emphasized love for your neighbour like the Samaritan (not calling fire on them like Ibiyomie would wish) as well as love for God (through loving your neighbour) and not necessarily tithes. Well, they thrive on the fact that an average Nigerian can hardly reason. |

BeLookingIDIOT: And Solomon was a king. Anyone who uses king Solomon's wealth as a parameter for the followers of the Messiah is simply of the devil. Well, I am not surprised. Many of them have made themselves kings, their wives, queens and their children, princes and princesses over their subjects and are milking them dry in order to sustain their kingdom. |

elated177: 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: They didn't live in opulence , they humbled themselves. But its according to their assignments. They worked with the principle of contentment. 1Ti 6:6 — 1Ti 6:9 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 2Co 6:4 — 2Co 6:10 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 1 Like |

elated177: Its an example for you that you dont judge on man by another man life-style. The apostles had their cross based on their specific assignment. If Paul did not marry based on his assignment you shouldn't judge those who marry. If some lived a life of sacrifice to comfort you dhouod not judge those who live in comfort. Every man answer to his maker. So you can read my post again agsin with this explanation |
