thou wilt be perfect go and
sell that thou hast, and give
to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasures in heaven,
and come and follow me
|
SELF DENIAL
GOD had given to him that
he might have to give to
others but, he was failing to
love and help his neighbor,
which is the commandment, 6
love your neighbor as your
self
If you want to be perfect,
that is obey the
commandment and receive
heaven by selling all and
giving to the Poor
*The rich ruler rejected
heaven because he loved the
things of the world, he is rich
and not willing to help those,
poor, diseased , suffering,
orphans, widows, fatherless
hungry, empty, lonely and
lost
*He loved the things of the
world more than he loved
the hope of eternal life, he
loved position and
recognition and power on
earth
MARK 10:28
PETER said to JESUS, we
have left every thing to
follow you
Then he said to them all: if
anyone would come after
me, he must deny himself
and take up his cross daily

THE FINAL JUDGMENT
The judgment with the
nation’s works with the
judgment of individual
(sheep and goats)
The judgment of the whole
world
JESUS was judging two types
of beings’ sheep and goats
The sheep is GOD centered
nature, selfless and heart of
love to humanity
The goat is worldly and self
centered, which represent all
unbeliever who don’t believe
in JESUS CHRIST they are the
“wicked” and lazy servants
MT:25:26
The worthless servants
MT 25:26
The cured MT. 25:41

RO.: 2:8
*JESUS CHRIST so identified
himself with men in their
pain and suffering, that he
counts men as one with
himself, that if you Minister
to any of the Poor identified
you have done it to him
*The believer is to affect, the
world ravaged with hunger,
disease and Homelessness
THE GOAT
The goat are unbelievers
who failed to help the
hungry, the thirsty, the
stranger, the naked, the sick,
and the prisoner.
*They are people who do
not become involved
meeting the desperate need
of the ravaging world , they
live life of comfort,
materialism, money, pleasure
and live selfishly
JESUS said goat(
unbeliever) depart from me,
you workers of iniquity, to a
place of weeping and
gnashing of teeth and to
outer darkness to fellowship
with the devil

12)Then said he also to him
that bade him, when thou

neighbors; lest they also bid
thee again and a recompense
be made thee
13)But when thou makest
feast, call the poor, the
maimed , the lame, the blind
14)And thou shalt be
recompensed thee; for they
cannot recompensed thee for
thou shalt be recompensed

SERVICING THE POOR
GOD centered given- is
giving of himself and his
goods to those who needs
his gifts and services, that is
the Poor who can not pay
back, who really needed help
*The believer should not
center their life to those who
can repay them, but those
who needs help, who are
ravaging with extreme
poverty and desperate
needs, therefore a man
should live being kind and
giving generously and never
to expect nothing.
*But to help and encourage
and to build others up
*As Children of the most
high he will be raised from
the dead to live eternally
with all the others just
persons and of course, with
GOD himself who is the very
embodiment of
righteousness

8)And Zacchaeus stood, and
said unto the LORD; behold,
LORD, the half of my goods I
give to the POOR, and if I
have taken any thing from
any man by false accusation I
restore him fourfold

ZACCHAEUS gave half of
the possession to the Poor
attracted the present of our
LORD JESUS CHRIST
He gave half of his
possession to the poor.

28) Let him that stole steal
no more; but rather let him
labor, working with his hands

THE BELIEVER SHOULD
WORK TO HELP THE POOR
The believer is to strip away
the garment of stealing
cheat, hoarding or taking
things from person
wrongfully taking some thing
that is not
But to diligently and
industriously, work with his
hand lawful way an honest
that he may have not
whereupon to live but to
help that in need(POOR)
