Riches of Christ add no sorrow
Posted at 02:50 PM on September 3, 2008 by singleminded
I would like to share a reflection with you based on Proverbs 10:22.
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
While reflecting on this scripture, I recalled how in my former Christian education I often heard ministers take this passage and use it to justify the prosperity doctrines. Was Solomon speaking of obtaining the riches of gold or was he speaking in terms of the true riches of God that are spiritual and eternal?
King Solomon, who was the richest man in the world, in terms of gold, experienced a paradox. While walking with the Lord he experienced the contentment of the Lord, yet when he broke the commandment of God, his earthly riches could not sustain his contentment and joy, but left him sorrowful. Letâs look at this paradox:
1 Kings 3:3
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father:

| About Me: | I am from Kansas City, MO and happily married for 4 years to my wife Crystal. I have 2 sons and 1 daughter, Carlos-18, Collin-13, and Coniah-3. I love going to the park with my family, and I enjoy bbq'g, cooking and I make a mean cheesecake. One of my favorite dishes to cook is a sweet & sour pork steak. I have been a Christian since I was 18 years old, for a total of 25 years. In all those years I faithfully went to church but it was not until I met Apostle JoAnne Cremer and enrolled in the Apostles' Center School of Ministry to learn the New Covenant truth under her apostleship that my walk of faith completely revolutionized. In all those 25 years I observed so many shifting gospels where everything was based upon what God is going to give me if I just have enough faith and give my money faithfully. I was never really satisfied in my soul that I understood my purpose and I felt like there were just too many paradoxes and contradictions in what the Church was offering as the gospel. When I began my education at the Apostles' Center, it was like night and day, like a quantum leap in how my faith has changed and how my soul is so full of joy and how my understanding of God's will is so clear now. I am truly blessed to be learning the New Covenant Priesthood from Apostle JoAnne. I have learned that my service to God is so simple and so easy and now no one can exploit me through vain promises. I completely understand my purpose and destiny now and I am really enjoying the powerful presence of God each day as I dine on the bread of truth that is Apostles' Doctrine (Acts 2:43) I can truly say that the education they are giving me at the Apostles School has set me free and is sure feels good! I have to tell others about this because I know there are still millions of Christians caught in the bondage of faith exploitation and my prayer is that they will hear the call of God to this restoration and return to their first love. |

Hi Carlos, your blog was really a blessing to read! The Church is so caught up in the pursuit of earthly riches, and this was so refreshing to reflect on how the spiritul riches of Christ bring no sorrow and fill our soul with the treasures of heaven. Thank you for sharing this grace, may God multiply back to you 100 fold. A prophecy for your edification: "Paradox upon paradox have they whose faith is expressed by the imagination, but peace, wisdom and understanding have they whose faith is by the holy tools of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ." Your sister, Apostle JoAnne Cremer |
