The message of prosperity can be heard from pulpits across the world. “Gods people are recession proof, the 100 fold blessing is your guarantee of financial stability, you only need to make an offering and your seed of faith will be multiplied” etc etc. Such doctrine disguised as Biblical truth relies on the mistaken belief that we only need to make a positive confession and our words will bring it into being. It is the name it and claim it cult, telling us that we are evoking some kind of spiritual law which God himself must obey. However, the ability to create through the spoken word is reserved for God alone. The reality is that the only people who will prosper from this deception are the greedy ministers who preach it.

When the global economic system discriminates against Gods true people, and it will, “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev 13:17, we had better be prepared to exist outside of the beast system.

One of the most overlooked and underrated aspects of Jesus’ life  provides the key to economic survival. The common purse!

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45

 This aspect of  early Church life is one which will surely find a resurgence in the economic troubles of the future. It is Gods plan. Whey else would Jesus have set this example? If your earthly possessions are shared with Gods family you will  be living in one of the purest manifestations of Gods Kingdom on earth.

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matt 6:21
