MONEY COMETH?

[prophetess m. brignac]

WE'VE BEEN TOLD TO "GET READY!", "GET READY!","GET READY"!, AND THAT "MONEY COMETH!", AND BOTH OF THESE WERE GREAT INSPIRATIONAL DECLRATIONS AND DECREES. WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO "NAME IT AND "CLAIM" IT!, TO "GRAB IT AND HAVE IT", AND TO "BELIEVE IT AND RECEIVE IT!", WHICH ARE EVEN MORE ENCOURAGING AND RALLYING. THE FACT IS, THAT I, FOR ONE, CERTAINLY HOPE AND BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME TO PASS, FOR EVERY FAITHFUL BELIEVER, BUT EVERYONE IS NOT GOING TO BE "RICH", "WEALTHY", OR "AFFLUENT, AND IN THE MIDST OF THIS ECONOMIC UNREST AND UNCERTAINTY, MANY WHO'VE "GIVEN UNTIL IT HURTS", AND SACRIFICED CAR NOTES AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LATEST BUILDING FUND OR EXPANSION VISION, IN RETURN FOR THESE PROMISES OF "INCREASE" AND "MONEY COMETH" ,WANT TO CASH IN THOSE "PROPHETIC" WORDS" AND GUARANTEES. THIS "BANNER STATEMENT" THAT PREACHES WELL, AND REALLY TRANSLATES NICELY INTO VANITY PLATES, T-SHIRTS, KEY CHAINS, AND WALL PLAQUES, EVOLVED FROM BEING A FRANTIC "MANTRA", AND BOLD DECREE ,INTO A LATTER DAY "DOCTRINE", THAT HAS LED MANY TO DISILLUSIONMENT WITH THE CHURCH, AND UNFORTUNATELY, WITH GOD,WHEN HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ILLEGAL, UNSANCTIONED "DOCTRINE! IN PRINCIPLE, "MONEY COMETH" IS NOT A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL SCRIPTURES THAT SUPPORT THESE TRUTHS OF "SEED TIME AND HARVEST", SOWING AND REAPING", AND "GIVE AND IT SHALL COME BACK TO YOU, GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, AND SHAKEN TOGETHER", BUT MOST OF THESE COVENANT PROCLAMATIONS ARE CONDITIONAL, JUST LIKE ANY COVENANT, AND THEY ARE NOT A SIMPLISTIC "FORMULA" " YOUR MONEY+ MY DECREE=WEALTH!) ACTUALLY, MOST OF GOD'S PROMISES OF "SUPPLYING YOUR EVERY NEED", AND MEN "GIVING UNTO YOUR BOSOM" , AND YOUR "BLESSINGS OVERTAKING YOU" HAVE A MORE SPIRITUAL AND MORAL CLAUSE OF OBEDIENCE, AND RIGHTOUS LIVING THAN JUST THE ACT OF SACRIFCIAL "GIVING"! THE BIBLE ALSO ASSURES US THROUGH THE "PREACHER" IN ECCLESIASTES, THAT AT SOME POINT, WE ALL WILL HAVE A SEASON OR TIME OF "GETTING:, AND "LOSING", A TIME OF "PLANTING" AND A TIME OF "PLUCKING UP", AND IT ALSO ADMONISHES US TO BE "CONTENT IN WHATEVER STATE WE FIND OURSELVES IN) , WHILE BELIEVING GOD FOR AND WAITING ON YOUR "CHANGE"! IT FURTHER ,MOST PROFOUNDLY, STATES "WHAT PROFITETH IT A MAN TO GAIN THE WORLD,ANDTO LOSE HIS VERY SOUL!" WHAT HAS HAPPENED, UNFORTUNATELY, IS THAT GOD HAS BEEN PORTRAYED TO, UNINFORMED AND UNLEARNED BELIEVERS, AS A SPIRITUAL "ATM" OR "GODFATHER", AND WHEN HE DOESN'T MOVE OR "BLESS", AS PROMISED, THESE BELIEVERS BECOME, ANGRY, DISGRUNTLED AND ACCUSATORY TOWARDS GOD, AND OFTET, AT THOSE WHO PRIMED THEM FOR THIS DISAPPOINTMENT, AS THEY ARE FORCED TO REALLY LEARN OF GOD, HIS WAYS, AND HIS METHODS AND TIMING OF PROSPERING HIS SERVANTS.. I , DO INDEED, ANTICIPATE THE MANIFESTATIONS, OF AN "OPEN WINDOW OF HEAVEN" , AND I PRESS TOWARDS THE REALITY THAT AN ALTERNATE SEASON OF "PLENTY" IS MY INHERITANCE, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE WAYS, HEART ND MIND OF GOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL HAVE SEASONS OF "ABASE,MENT, LACK, NEED AND ABUNDANCE, AND THAT THERE ARE "DUE SEASONS" AND "SET TIMES" OF GOD'S FAVOR AND RELEASE OF MTAATERIAL BLESSINGS, BUT NOT MANY ARE TEACHING THE PEOPLE OFGOD WHAT TO DO, HOW TO STAY FOCUSED AND MAINTAIN A "YET PRAISE", AND EXPECTATION IN GOD, UNTIL, AND SHOULD "MONEY COMETH"! NOT MANY ARE PREACHING OR TEACHING THEM HOW TO "ENDURE "HARDNESS" (LACK, NEED, NOT ENOUGH) AS GOOD SOLDIERS, WITHOUT MURMURING, BECOMING RESENTFUL AND REBELLIOUS, OR CHALLENGING GOD, FOLISHLY! NOT MANY STILL PREPARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD WITH A "CONTINGENCY" PLAN OF SURIVIVAL AND "JOY ANYHOW", SHOULD THEY NEVER MOVE INTO THAT "WEALTHY PLACE".NOT MANY PREACH THAT "HE'S STILL A "WONDER", EVEN WHEN THEIR CHANGE IS DELAYED OR NEVER COMES! NOT MANY PREACH ABOUT GOD'S ETERNAL WORTH OF RECEIVING UNRESTRAINED HONOR ANDWORSHIP, BECAUSE OF HIS UNCONDITIONAL "GOODNES! MANY ARE NIGH UNTO FAINTING BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN IN A POSTURE OF EXPECTANT HOPE, SEARCHING THE HILLS FOR "MONEY COMETH", AND THEY STILL, HAVE THE SAME 29.19 IN THEIR CHECKING ACOUN THAT THEY DID 23000.00 WORTH OF "SEED SOWING" AGO, AND THEY'RE DESPONDENT, DEPRESSED, FRUSTRATED, OPPRESSED AND ANGRY, BECAUSE "MONEY HATH YET TO COME. IT IS UNFAIR AND AN INJUSTICE TO NOT ANCHOR THE POLE OF GOD IN THE GOSPEL TRUTH, THAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK, BUT RIGHTOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. THIS IS NOT A MORATORIUM ON THE EXHORTATION TO BRING ONE'S "GIFTS" TO THE ALTAR, OR SOWING IN GOOD GROUND, BUT RATHER A CLARION CRY COMPELLING GOD'S MEN/WOMEN,, TO ARM THE PEOPLE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, WITH THE NEEDED " WISDOM,WEAPONS" AND SPIRITUAL IMPLEMENTS TO STAND FIRM AND TO STAND THEREFORE,UNTIL "MONEY COMETH", AND TO BE AS SOLD OUT TO GOD, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T!
