Why The Saying,
“As Poor As A Church Rat,”
Is Not Good And True
By
Yahoshua
Who Is Also Called Jesus Christ
In His Second Coming
Usually
People often say, as poor as a church rat, meaning that a person is living a life of poverty and wretchedness. Such a lifestyle is like living in a desolate place, where there is no foods, no drinks, no house, no properties, no good health and all is in ruin, where all things are old and decayed, without any hope of improvement.
Why People
Say So
People say and use the proverb, as poor as a church rat, because the churches, ministries and fellowships are usually lack foods and drinks. After the prayers and worship, the ministers of God go home with all the gifts and offerings, and nothing remains in house of God. And there is no corner of church where a rat can conveniently stay and live. This continues to be the situation because people do not know how to serve and worship God Almighty.
Difference
One fact which people often ignore is that the temple of God is different from all the churches, ministries and fellowships, which humanity see, build or use. Since the time of the destruction of the temple and city of Jerusalem, no other nation or place has built the temple again according to God’s instructions and specifications. That is why the issue of building the Third Temple is of great importance to the world now.
If you observe all the various churches, ministries and fellowships, you discover that all of them differ from one another. Different shapes and designs, different layout of the altar section, different colours of paintings and different siting arrangements.
And many of them do not have altar, at all. This alone is an indication that such a church, ministry or fellowship has excluded God and His Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, from all that the church, ministry or fellowship are doing. That means that the church is not worshipping God Almighty.
Also, you discover that the methods of prayers and worship, and other various activities, are different from one church, ministry or fellowship to another. This is a clear evidence that the religious leaders and ministers of God, are just busy doing their own will, following the false imaginations their hearts. Each person thinks that the worship of God should be done in such and such way, and he establishes it according to his own imaginations and expectations, and then begin to practise, teach and spread the same way of religion, as if it were what God said.
As Rich
As Yahweh’s Temple
Our current observation and discoveries in the services and ministrations of the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, here in DivineBase Ministry, shows that the house of God is not empty and should not be lacking in all good things.
In all the places where God specified gifts and offerings, which people should bring to His temple or holy places, He makes it clear that people should bring the best of their farm produce, and the best of their products and the best of everything good that people want to give to God. The implication is that the house of God is not empty, and people are expected to bring in all types from good things.
Directives
From The Hosts Of Angels And Saints Of Heaven
The Angels and Saints of God, who come down from heaven, here in this DivineBase Ministry, regularly and frequently demand that the congregation should bring all good things into the house of God.
And the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven are often sharing out blessings, favours, success and prosperity. They are also, often, sharing gifts, snacks, foods and drinks, which are offerings, and which are called saraka, doing so both spiritually and physically. They are ready, willing and quick to share out bread, wine, groundnuts, biscuits, fruits, etc, and from time to time, they demand that somebody should do saraka. This is in fulfilment of what God said in the book of Malachi:
"Will
a man rob God?
Yet
you have robbed Me!
But
you say,
'In
what way have we robbed You?'
In
tithes and offerings.
You
are cursed with a curse,
For
you have robbed Me,
Even
this whole nation.
Bring
all the tithes into the storehouse,
That
there may be food in My house,
And
try Me now in this,"
Says
the Lord of Hosts,
"If
I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And
pour out for you such blessing
That
there will not be room enough to receive it.
"And
I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So
that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor
shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,"
Says
the Lord of Hosts;
And
all nations will call you blessed,
For
you will be a delightful land,"
Says
the Lord of Hosts.
As Poor
As A Desolate Place
What people should be saying is, as poor as a desolate place. It is a desolate place that is lacking in all the good things of life. It is a place of without foods, without drinks, without any essential amenities and without any hope of improvement.
