The Parable Of The Rich Fool

“Behold, a rich man's ground brought forth abundantly. His barns were far too small to hold his grain, and to himself he said, ‘What shall I do? I must not give my grain away. I must not let it go to waste.’ and then he said, ‘This will I do. I will tear down these little barns and built up larger ones. There I will store away my grain and I will say, My soul take now your ease. You have enough for many years. Eat, drink and fill yourself and be content.’

“But God looked down and saw the man. He saw his selfish heart and said,
‘You foolish man, this night your soul will quit its house of flesh. Then who will have your accumulated wealth?’
You people of Galilee, lay not up treasures in the vaults of earth. Accumulated wealth will blight your soul. God does not give humanity wealth to hoard away in secret vaults. Humanity are but stewards of God's wealth, and they must use it for the common good. To every steward who is true to self, to other men, to everything that is, the Lord will say, ‘Well done.’”

Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use, so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same night he died.”

Explanations

The incident was a real life event, and Jesus Christ gave the narration. It shows that it is not good for humanity to trust in earthly possessions, and thereby turn their back on God, who gave them life.

The incident happened in a faraway city, and Jesus Christ was able to see the same incident from afar. It was Archangel Michael that struck the rich young fool to death.

1. Today in the world, majority are following the same way into the hell fire.

2. They have little or no time for God.

3. And they do not heed the end time messages and warnings from God.

4. They are only interested in making money and in acquiring endless wealth, forgetting that both money and wealth are the waste products from heaven, which are used to test the children of man.

5. It is not the duty of the Lord and Saviour to deliberate and seat in judgements over sharing of family lands and properties.

6. And people should not burden the ministers of God with personal, family or societal problems, which the ordinary men can handle.

Why The Rich And Wealthy Young Man Died

By Apostle Thomas

Apostle Thomas: God wanted to show him that his life does not depend on riches and wealth. The honour and respect, which he supposed to give to God, is what he gave to riches and wealth.

It was the Angels that came and took him to heaven, Paradise, that the same night. He did not die. What happened was that the Angels took him, and made his desires and hopes to be in vain.

One question that people should ask is this:

Was this person a righteous man?

Was he fearful of God?

Was he obedient to the word of God?

Ourselves do not count the desire to have money as sin.

Rather, by what means is a person making money?

By God or in bad ways?

How does the person honour God in making the money?

The man’s intention was not a bad thing.

But why did the Angels took him away?

Son of man, number 1, his work here one earth has finished. But he did not know.

The Head: Which means that all the riches and wealth, which he had gathered, were intended to be used by another person, for certain purposes.

Apostle Thomas: He was still preparing for the future, for the next 10 years, from generations to generations, without knowing it that his lifetime on earth has ended. The Angels opened the gate of heaven for him, and he saw Paradise in heaven, for himself to choose between heaven and earth.

Does he want heavenly or earthly riches and wealth?

The Angels were merciful to him, by showing him the Paradise, because he was a child of God. He chose Paradise, and that was why he did not wake up from sleep again, and people said that he died.

He chose heavenly treasures, which are everlasting, which do not rot, which do not rust, and which lasts from everlasting to everlasting. That was why he died that night. That was why myself said that he did not die. A person who has gone to heaven has not died.

The Head: He simply changed location.

Apostle Thomas: He went to the one that was better for him.

This person was not watchful. He was not inquiring from God. That was why the Angels made his departure so.

By The Powers Of The Holy Spirit

Apostle Thomas: The Angels says, son of man, all the riches and wealth of the world, all worldly possessions, all the efforts that a person is making, it is not by power nor by might, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. All are wasted years, all the efforts people make – if it is not by the power of the Holy Spirit, there is nothing that people shall be able to achieve.

Even the cultivated farms, it is by the forces of nature, by the powers of the Holy Spirit, that they grow, germinate and bear fruits.

That is why we ask the children of God to be watchful. Let them stop over labouring themselves. Let them stop worrying themselves, with the cares and worries of everyday life. Tomorrow shall think of itself. All that a man shall eat, from the morning till night, shall come by themselves.

Why You Should Plan According To The Will Of God

Apostle Thomas: Even so it is with the ministers and children of God. Many of them plan and schedule what to do in 1 or 2 weeks’ time. Even so in the 1 month to come. Son of man, but the Angels schedule for them what they shall do.

What if their plans do not fit into the plans of the Angels?

Shall the Angels keep quiet for people to continue carrying out their personal plans?

The Head: No.

Apostle Thomas: The Angels will cancel their plans. Anything that is against the will of God, the Angels will cancel it, because God has set time for His plans and master plan.

Somebody is planning to go to overseas next week. But the Angels have planned that he will be in this holy mountain, until the Feast Of Passover is over, till Pentecost.

So, what shall be done?

The Head: It is God’s will that shall be done.

Apostle Thomas: Yourself answered very well.

What do yourself understand in this word which I have explained today?

The Head: Whatever a person is doing, he should know that God has a master plan. The person should make sure that his plans fit into God’s plan.

Apostle Thomas: Number 1, humanity should have respect for God. Any person who does not have respect for God, the person is going out of point, out of line, is doing the wrong thing.

Number 2, even if the person were told, there is nothing that he would do with it. He would not use this one word to do something beneficial. Son of man, the children of God do not know such things as this.
