0:18
into authentic imitationlogy and this just so happens to be episode number eighty two.
0:24
We are in the building, man, eighty two episodes of authentic imitationology.
0:29
And that's amazing. When God gave me this idea, I didn't think it
0:32
was gonna take it this long. Amen. That's why I know it's God.
0:35
I know it's God because whatever He asks of me to do, and
0:39
I do it, not knowing what's going to happen, just trusting him and
0:42
have faith. Amen. He puts his hand on it, touches it,
0:46
and it explodes, It goes off, it goes in a good way,
0:51
It gets in order. Everything happens, Amen, because God has a purpose
0:54
and plan. Today we're talking about riches in heaven, the materialistic life,
1:00
riches on earth, the material realistic life. A lot of people are into
1:06
materialism and there's you know, they're so focused or attracted to the prosperity gospel
1:12
that a lot of people are preaching. Name it claimant, you know,
1:17
God owes us, you know we have to be in victory all the time
1:21
when it comes to our finances and everything. Man like that, and I'm
1:23
like, man, where did they see that? And they actually quote scriptures
1:27
the other day. This was classic Man, a very popular preacher, prosperity
1:34
preacher, was on his show and his wife was sitting right next to him,
1:40
and he was quoting a scripture right, totally out of contexts so it
1:46
sounded okay when he said his version that one translation, he read it,
1:52
he asked his wife to read it and amplify, and the camera when the
1:57
camera focused on his wife, she put on a face like, uh,
2:00
oh, we're in trouble, or my husband's in trouble because this scripture says
2:05
it's not talking about the golly that received riches. It was talking about the
2:09
ungolly that received his riches. And when she started reading it, she had
2:15
to read it right. She couldn't stop and deny what the scripture was actually
2:20
saying. And her husband was like, yeah, I understand that, Yeah,
2:23
I understand that. And then he was trying to explain it away.
2:27
No, we can't do that. We can't explain away what the word is
2:30
saying. God is explaining to us what he is saying when we're not supposed
2:35
to, you know, like transform into a way that we want to understand
2:39
that. Amen. We have to understand scriptures according to the scriptures, and
2:44
God will do that by way of His Holy Spirit. Good morning's Si Joanne,
2:46
I see you, Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome back
2:49
to the morning, Devo. So riches in heaven, verse, riches on
2:53
earth? Which are you storing up? Which are you storing up? And
3:00
man, we could store both. I know that for a fact. Start
3:04
riches on earth for riches and happened. But one of them lasts longer,
3:07
Amen. And I know you know which one lasts longer. Which riches lasts
3:13
longer? Amen? And which riches are worth really storing up and which are
3:17
not? The materialistic life doesn't satisfy. I was literally literally talking to one
3:25
of my passengers yesterday about this issue of someone having all this money and not
3:32
being satisfied. Their souls never satisfied. I heard an interview of a rich
3:38
person. They asks the rich person how much money do you need to be
3:43
satisfied? And the rich person looked at the interview er and said more And
3:51
he said what he said, yea more, I need more to be satisfied,
3:53
because he wasn't satisfied at that point and he was multi filthy rich.
3:59
He was rich, but that materialistic life doesn't add up pun intended. Amen,
4:05
So we're gonna be a First Corinthians, chapter number three, verses eleven
4:11
to fifteen. Amen. And there's a typo here, I'm gonna have to
4:14
fix it. You already know high role. Amen. First Corinthians, chapter
4:17
number three, verses eleven to fifteen. If you have any questions, comments,
4:21
concerns, or any prayer requests, don't hesitate to leave it on the
4:26
live chat. That's what we're here for. If you want to share this
4:29
out, we're gonna pray and then we'll share this out. If you want
4:31
to share it to somebody that's not on social media, I'm pretty sure are
4:35
their mobile devices, they'll have YouTube. You can send them straight to my
4:39
YouTube channel, Dj sam Rock, or you could send them to Soul Winners
4:43
with a z dot org the link, Amen, and they'll find me over
4:46
there as well. Live. Amen. Let me just quickly, quickly,
4:51
Sam, fix this. There's a typo here that I just noticed. I'm
4:58
gonna fix it right now while we're live. So that way I won't forget
5:02
capitalization. Yeah, it won't make sense if something is not capitalized sometimes.
5:10
Amen. So let's go for it. Man. Let me just make sure
5:12
the group knows I'm live. Let me put this on the live group.
5:16
Amen. And the Blaze Barber Studies is a private group. Now privatize it
5:21
to respect your privacy. So, Father God, thank you Lord God for
5:27
today. I thank you, Lord God that although we need materialistic things,
5:31
we need money, we need finances, we need currency and meant to cover
5:36
our expenses, to cover the bills, to pay back the desk that we
5:42
owe. But Father God, I know that you have a plan for us
5:46
to do all of that and then to live the abundant life. There's a
5:50
difference. Thank you, Lord God for the abundant living that you have promised
5:55
us by way of your Holy Spirit, by way of Jesus, by way
5:58
of God the Father. Thank God for doing what you have done and continue
6:01
to do to all your children. We lavish us with gifts and talents,
6:06
and we offer those things back to you as a sacrifice of goodness, a
6:12
sacrifice of hope, as a sacrifice of love, And that when we sow
6:15
seeds and to good ground, we know that we will reap a harvest,
6:18
because you are the seeds sower ultimately, and you are the one who gives
6:24
the increase. In Jesus name, I pray Lord God, I had your
6:27
protection over myself, my wife, our family, my whole entire bloodline,
6:31
every single establishment, our businesses, our organizations that we're part of, our
6:36
church, family, our friends, our neighbors, our enemies, protect the
6:42
soul lo God in the name of Jesus, and thank you. Let you
6:44
step forth arching angels, ministering angels, worrying angels to annihilate the tactics of
6:48
the enemy over my situation and over every situation represented on the other side of
6:55
the screen and on the other side of this might protect them, guide them,
6:58
guard them as well. Our friends, to my family, my brothers
7:00
and sisters in Christ, And that you would do a great work in our
7:03
hearts so that way we won't be attracted to this prosperity gospel. We won't
7:08
be attracted to materialistic lifestyles, but we will be God, and attracted and
7:14
in union with your Spirit, and knowing all truth and guided into all truth,
7:19
and knowing that we don't need to store up riches on earth. We
7:23
need to store riches in heaven. And while we're storing up riches in heaven,
7:27
you will supply what we need, what we need here on earth,
7:30
because you are the great supplier. You are the great provider. And I
7:33
thank you, Lo God for what you're doing. Continue to teach us by
7:35
way of the Holy Spirit as we move forward today in Jesus name my prays
7:40
by faith and all those who agree, we say, Amen and Amen,
7:44
it's the joyce. I see you. Good morning, God, bless you.
7:46
Welcome back to the morning deve with my sister and my friend materialistic life.
7:50
Is it worth living that way? Amen? Is it worth it to
7:55
store up all these riches on earth? The Bible says, what does a
7:59
prophet of man to get all this, all the world, to gain the
8:03
world a man with everything that has, and lose your soul in the process.
8:07
It's not worth it, man, It's not even exchange at all.
8:11
So let's see what the word the guy has for that situation. I'll be
8:13
right back sixty seconds. Something, we shared this out, Share this to
8:16
your friends, your coworkers, whoever you want to share it to. Amen.
8:20
In sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get right into First
8:24
Corinthians, chapter number three, verses eleven to fifteen. Today we're talking about
8:30
the materialistic life, and if we want to imitate Christ, we all know
8:33
that Christ wasn't following no prosperity gospel. He wasn't preaching no prosperity gospel.
8:39
And man, he did have money. He had a treasurer for his people,
8:43
for his disciples, so that therefore he did have money. But he
8:48
wasn't investing all that money into himself, into his into his how do you
8:54
call it, little community? Or he wasn't just you know, trying to
8:58
manipulate people for money. No, no, he was preaching the kingdom principles
9:03
of God, and the Kingdom principles of God still stands at this very day.
9:07
Amen. So we need to hold on to what Jesus did. We
9:11
need to imitate Christ. Amen, in this world that needs Christ, that
9:16
needs Jesus, and part of it is not living a materialistic lifestyle that all
9:22
we're doing is focused on finances, money, faign, fortune and all that.
9:26
Jesus wasn't about that. Guess what we're not going to be about that.
9:30
Amen, We're going to be about his word. I'll be right back
9:31
after sixty seconds. Help me share. Let's go, man, man,
10:56
let's go for it. Let's see what the Word of God has for us
10:58
today. Amen. And this scripture, of course, Apostle Paul or speaking
11:05
to the church in Corinth Amen. Apostle Paul was responsible for writing thirteen letters
11:09
to the churches inspired by Holy Spirit, and even given some leeway with what
11:15
he said some signs. He would say, this is me, Apostle Paul,
11:18
putting my opinion in there, so letting us know that that was his
11:24
opinion on certain things. That so much freedom God gives us. Amen.
11:30
We're filled with Holy Spirit God, and he still allows us to have our
11:33
opinion on things. But me, in my opinion is not as important as
11:37
what the Word actually says. Postle Paul's opinion was not as important as what
11:41
the Word of God was revealing to him. Amen. Sore. If you're
11:46
honest, you can see some scripture that Posto Paul literally said, this is
11:50
for me, Amen, when it comes to certain situations, and that's God
11:54
was dictating us. He's not a dictator. He's not. He didn't make
12:01
us like AI robots, a man that we have to be programs to do
12:05
exactly what he's asking us to do. He's forcing us. He doesn't force
12:11
us a man. He loves us so much that allows us to make choices.
12:13
Amen. But when we follow the word of God, we'll start noticing
12:18
automatically that are our choices are really nothing in comparison to the word of God.
12:22
Amen. When we choose God and his choices, then we're on to
12:26
something. When we choose God, when it comes to materialistic things, then
12:30
we're on to something. When we try to follow God's plan to gain riches,
12:35
Amen, then we're onto something. Every time we do it on our
12:37
own, we're messing up and we're going to fall short, and it's never
12:41
going to satisfy our soul. But the word of God satisfies our soul,
12:46
and it has the ability a man. The word of God has the ability
12:52
to fill our bank account, to overflow to that way, as long as
12:54
we're giving out to others, as long as we're blessing others, as long
12:58
as we're not focused on our situation only and we're focused on other people,
13:05
or we're in a good ground and we're sowing seeds of eternal life. Amen.
13:09
So if you want to donate to this ministry, you're helping this ministry
13:13
and help other ministries and help other families, Amen, and allowing this ministry
13:16
to go further and have a further reach. That's a seed that you sow
13:22
into a ministry that's helping other ministries and helping other families. In that whole
13:26
way. When you go to the donate page, you'll see my whole vision
13:28
there. I put it out there, Amen, the vision that God gave
13:33
me for this ministry. It's on the donate page. Not hiding anything.
13:37
Amen. When you sow the seed, look what you're sowing into. Amen.
13:41
God wants us to see when we sow seeds what we're sung into.
13:45
Sometimes we won't get to know the results of the seed that we sow,
13:50
but as long as we're doing it in Jesus name and not doing it in
13:52
our name, and not just saying look what I did. Amen. If
13:58
I'm going to boast on the boast about what the lowder has done, Amen,
14:01
I'm a boast in Jesus. I'm a boast in Christ. I'm a
14:03
boast in God, not boasting what I have. That preacher that I saw
14:07
the video yesterday when he was trying to use a certain scripture amen to promote
14:13
his wealth, he says, yeah, I'm rich. I have this,
14:15
that and a third. Then he asked his wife to read it in the
14:16
amplified version, and his wife noticed that it wasn't talking about the godly that
14:22
he was talking about. It was talking about the ungodly. Listen, let's
14:26
be on one side on this, Amen. And God has given us everything
14:31
to live this life out in godliness and righteousness a man, and he'll make
14:35
us whole by way of what He has been doing in our lives, not
14:39
by what we're trying to do. Amen, and our lives. Amen.
14:43
I don't want to go on a tangent on that, So let me get
14:46
to the scripture. Let me get to the scripture. Amen. Authentic commentationology,
14:50
let's go. Let's get on a Friday mode. This one is called
14:52
materialistic life. Materialistic life First Corinthians three, verses eleven to fifteen, And
15:01
listen closely to what the apostle Paul is saying. He's very clear, we
15:05
can't twist this and make it seem like he's saying something else. For no
15:09
one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus
15:16
Christ. Right. He's a firm foundation. If anyone builds on this foundation
15:24
using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their
15:31
work will be shown for what it is, because the day will bring it
15:35
to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test
15:41
the quality of each person's work. If what has been built survives, the
15:48
builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will
15:54
suffer loss, but yet will be saved, even though only as one escaping
16:02
through the flames. I see grace all over the scripture. I see mercy
16:07
all over the scripture. But I also see the foundation, the principle of
16:11
what God is saying. You want to build something, amen, make sure
16:15
that the builder the firm foundation, Jesus Christ. Make sure you're building on
16:23
Christ. In other words, if he's in the building process, and if
16:27
you're listening to his voice, whatever you build, when the fire comes,
16:32
it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of
16:36
our work. It will test the quality of our ministry test the quality of
16:40
our church, will test the quality of our ministry. Right and when the
16:47
fire will test the quality of our ministry, our work it has been built.
16:52
If it survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it's burned
16:56
up, the builder will suffer loss. Still saved, but will suffer loss.
17:03
And this is happening all through Christian mainstream Christian ministries where the leaders are
17:11
going buck wild. They're still saved, but their ministry tested through fire being
17:18
burnt up, and God is showing the exposion. Sorry about that. God
17:25
is showing and exposing a man who built that. And a lot of times
17:32
these prosperity pretemps are being exposed because they've built their whole ministry. That foundation
17:40
was built upon what they wanted to do. Saved, amen, Bible says
17:45
possible. Yes, they might be saved, but they're gonna come into the
17:49
Kingdom of God to get to get to Heaven with flames on their feet.
17:53
In other words, the fire that was testing or will be testing us men.
18:00
If it burns up our building, if it burns up our what we
18:04
were building, in other words, our our own ideas burned up, we
18:10
will get to heaven, but like we're flames, but that it says he
18:15
himself would be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames, because
18:19
that fire is coming. This is amazing to me. Riches in heaven are
18:25
better than riches on earth. Matthew six nineteen to twenty one. Jesus said,
18:32
do not store for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
18:37
and where thieves break in and steal. But store up your cells treasures
18:44
in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do
18:49
not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there, your heart
18:57
be also the world's telling let's just follow your heart. That's why we get
19:02
thrown off track. The word was saying, no, just follow your heart.
19:04
What do you think? What do you want to do? Where do
19:07
you see yourself in five years? Sam Like, it's funny when I heard
19:12
that question in corporate America, and then I heard that question again a couple
19:18
of times and in ministry, Amen leaders in ministry, where do you see
19:23
yourself in five years? And I'm like, and my mom, like,
19:26
I heard that somewhere before, that question. Oh yeah, that's corporate America
19:30
and that's what they ask you when you're building a business or when you're employed
19:34
by a big organization A man, you know, they asked you that,
19:40
what do you see yourself in five years with our company? Amen listening,
19:45
I see myself serving until Jesus comes back. So that's more than five years,
19:49
Lord Willing, right. So we see in the scriptures riches in heaven
19:55
are better than riches on earth. Is the riches on earth? Right?
19:59
Sto up, you get all you can can, all you get. The
20:03
world says, and do whatever you want. And the scriptures endorses that we
20:07
can do whatever we want to do, but not everything that we do will
20:10
be beneficial, and that includes materialistic life. You can have the cars,
20:15
you can have the houses. I just heard of testimony. I believe it
20:18
is in business our breakfast that we meet up the first Tuesday and the third
20:25
Tuesday of every month, a bunch of believers get together and we all have
20:29
businesses, ministries and things along those lines. And one of the successful businessmen
20:36
when he was in the world, older gentleman, now he retired. Now
20:41
he's part of a board or he's the director of the board. A man
20:45
that he runs the ministry. I won't mention it. I want to interview
20:49
him. I want to want to mess it up. So I want to
20:52
interview him. So way you can hear his testimony. But he said he
20:56
had twelve stores and all this money, the car is the house. You
21:02
know, everything was going well. Unsatisfied, he wasn't happy. Amen.
21:07
So then God got ahold of his heart. O. So a decade ago,
21:11
over a decade ago, and God changed his life and they started giving
21:17
out to people, sold this and sold that, giving out. He had
21:21
more freedom that way. And guess what he said. He says, now
21:23
he's satisfied. His soul was satisfied. Still has he still has money to
21:29
invest in businesses. He still has a business. Amen. But now he's
21:32
sold out for Christ. And Christ now has changed his life from the materialistic
21:37
lifestyle that he was living to now a giving lifestyle. Amen. You give
21:42
me. God has changed my transformed me so much. You give me a
21:47
million dollars. I say this all the time, and I'll find a way
21:49
to give that million dollars away. And yes, I will invest in the
21:52
ministry and what I have to do absolutely so that way I could give more.
21:56
Amen. So if you see I'm finding ways whatever see that that could
22:03
be five dollars, ten dollars, ten thousand dollars. I'm figuring out a
22:06
way of how I can stretch that money to reach people with the gospel.
22:12
It's just the way it is. God did that in my heart. Twenty
22:17
something years ago. You would have gave million dollars. I would have been
22:19
popping bottles, buying cars, getting houses, living up this striving a lifestyle,
22:25
and it would have been all about me. When God touches your heart,
22:30
he grabs y'all. God's a hold of your heart. That materialist is
22:33
lifestyle doesn't even doesn't even make sense, not even attractive anymore. Amen,
22:40
God will give. And when you give into the Kingdom of God a man
22:45
to his ministry, a man, you will see the increased greetings in the
22:48
name of Jesus. Here, evangelists, you're sea Hanif God bless you,
22:52
sir, God bless you. Welcome to the morning. Devol's good to see
22:55
you, my friend. So we are here knowing that the material realistic life
23:00
building up riches on earth. Amen. Although it will free you from some
23:06
things, but it won't satisfy your soul. And the question I asked at
23:11
the top of This was riches in heaven versus riches on earth. Which are
23:15
you storing up? Think about it. You might say, well that's easy.
23:19
I don't have no money anyway. Well, the money that you do
23:22
have, call it a blessing. I know every I have a piggy bank.
23:26
I still collect pennies. You still collect pennies, Yes, man,
23:30
I collect pennies. Two pennies I put into my daughter's piggybank. What I'm
23:36
saying, what is that gonna do? It's gonna add up. It's gonna
23:38
store so that when they break that piggy bank open if necessary, when necessary,
23:45
right, they'll have something there and that'll be a blessing. God could
23:48
touch that whatever's in there. It could be one hundred dollars, ten dollars,
23:52
twenty dollars. God could touch that and multiply that, and then people
23:56
will be blessed because of people like me that still pick up pennies off the
24:02
ground and store up that. And I'm investing that into my daughter's life.
24:07
You remember say, man, you're you're cheap. Two pennies. Yeah,
24:11
it adds up. It's two pennies closer ten to a dollar. A man
24:15
and a dollars closer to fill dollars. Follow us is closer to ten dollars.
24:18
Ten dollars is closer to twenty dollars. Twenty dollars closer to You know
24:22
what I mean. You build it up. You invest time, gifts and
24:26
talent into the Kingdom of God, and watch out, God multiplies multiplies.
24:32
Amen. You're financial situation. You don't have to be rich materialistically the way
24:40
the world says to be rich in Christ. You have Christ. I have
24:42
Christ. We are rich. Amen. We have the gift of eternal life.
24:48
We have life in abundance, according to the scriptures, according to the
24:52
Lord Jesus, that he promised us life in abundance, not just to get
24:56
by day by day and scratching and all that. No, but Jesus Christ
25:00
offers us the abundant life, and it was satisfied. Would make you happy.
25:04
You'll have joy, You'll have peace. I don't want no money if
25:08
it takes away my peace. Trust me. Jesus Christ bless you, and
25:11
Jesus Christ give you more blessings. And Jesus Christ use you in Pakistan and
25:15
you can share in the word words of God. Amen. Amen. Two
25:21
pennies adds up. When you go to the store, sometimes they will not
25:25
give you nothing if you're missing two or three pennies. I pick up pennies
25:29
that I see on the ground and I put them in my bank. Yes,
25:33
just yesterday, I was at the Dollar Tree, which they need to
25:36
change the name because it's not a dollar no more. First of all,
25:38
it's dollars twenty five up to five dollars now anyway, And I think it
25:42
was seven oh one, and I said, oh, do I have to
25:45
run back to my car and get that penny? So I said, sorry,
25:48
so I don't have the penny. And he looked around see if there
25:52
was a penny around and said, oh, there's no pennies. And the
25:55
lady behind him said, I have a penny and gave the penny. Right
25:57
that saved me a trip to the car again, penny. So I agree
26:00
with this is a dream. I pick up pennies. And it's funny because
26:06
I look at those pennies and say, why would people throw away money.
26:10
They're throwing away currency, Amen, because people don't know and understand. What
26:15
if you're adding up something, Amen to help somebody else out. God could
26:19
take those two pennies and turn it to two million dollars. Amen, So
26:23
I always pick it up. Amen. Somebody's loss is somebody else's game.
26:26
Right in Pakistan, people and young youth is very hungry for the word to
26:32
God. Amen. And that hunger will be fed by the Lord. Amen.
26:36
And we are trying very hard to spread the gospel of God and many
26:40
other areas of Pakistan, but our finances are not good, due to which
26:44
we cannot reach those areas and spread the gospel of God to them. But
26:47
we believe in God. When you're belief in God will make a way for
26:51
you and your ministry and your people to reach more people with the gospel message
26:56
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing that with us. The
26:57
amount of time. Amen, we were in First Corinthians, chapter number three.
27:03
Read the whole chapter for yourself. We camped out in verses eleven to
27:06
fifteen. The materialistic life that people want you to promote and want you to
27:11
live doesn't work. Riches in heaven are worth more than riches that we could
27:15
store up here. Do we need riches stored up here? Absolutely? But
27:18
when you stored up please find a way to give it out. Take care
27:22
of your bills, take care of your finances. Take care of your situation,
27:26
but find a way to give and so seas into other people's lives,
27:29
and watch what God does with your finances. So I bless you all in
27:33
the name of Jesus. God bless you all. God keep you all,
27:36
and remember always that God is good. Please
