The Way of Elohim: Give; It Shall Be Given

Dear Reader,

It is only the words of our Lord (Yeshua Ha-Maschiach) shall mankind be made free; humanity will achieve peace and happiness on this earth and thereafter only through adherence to the sayings our Lord and head; without that mankind is doomed to a long trek on sinking sand.

Much of the problem of humanity is manipulation, which gives room for exploitation, which cannot be possible if not for someone's desperation for something and the ignorance of many. Our selfless saviour intends for us to be saved via His words. He is the one who commanded us to give because as we give, we will get something back according to the will of our father in heaven, not according to what you or I promise.

In Luke 6:38, Yeshua did not say what we should give and to whom it should be given. It seems unfair to the society (whom the giving is supposedly due), to watch helplessly while this statement is hijacked at the pulpits by some of us. This statement is supposed to be a national anthem to whoever has a stake in Yahweh ought to sing wherever we go. But what can we give and to who?

What we can give varies. While some gifts are toxic, plenty others are beneficial. We cannot forget that 99.9% of human population cannot afford to hurt themselves and would appreciate soothing treatment from others. Yeshua said, “Do unto others as you would expect others to do unto you.” The 99.9% of humanity who cannot offend or hurt themselves should be willing to not offend or cause hurt to others; the 99.9% populace must be willing to give to others the fragrance of happiness, which also must align with righteousness as the giver of this command is righteous.

To whom shall we give? This should not be very difficult given that the scripture is filled with cases for guidance. Who we give depends on who is in need and what is given depends on what the need is and our exposure to the solution for this need. There are unrighteous needs and there are righteous needs. Because the law giver is righteous, there is thus no room for unrighteous needs satisfaction.

One such example is Truth. All of humanity without exception needs the Truth. The Truth according to the scripture is Christ-John 14:6. Anyone that finds Christ has found the truth. To reject Christ is to reject the Truth. The latter has cruel consequences-Matthew 10:11-15.

Every individual human has a need, which varies with one another. While some people feel the need to acquire the latest automobile/s or private jet/s, there also are those who are rummaging waste bins to find what they can eat, or scrutinizing waste papers to see if they can pick a valid travel ticket. Nothing may be wrong in having different needs so long as such needs do not violate 1 John 2:16; but there is certainly something unrighteous in the ways we give towards these needs.

The other day, a neighbor emailed an ambitious project by a church group the desire of which is to create and distribute two million copies of their material to two million people. While such desire sounds luscious, the question raised was who is behind the project? Who funds this project; are there royalty to be paid and if so who gets the royalty; most of all, what use will such royalty be put? If for example each copy gains 50 cents (a prudent estimate), the two million copies will mean one million USD/Euros. It is good if the proceeds return to the brethren, but will it return to them? I do not know about my colleagues in the game, my church hardly return such hefty sum.

The project ultimately, will be funded with: “Give and It Shall Be Given to You”, an invitation to all including those scrambling from the bins and those chasing newest automobiles, to partake in the deviousness of the conspiracy behind such projects. The royalty of course goes to the men and women behind the plot, while the royalty is used to further fund our luxurious appetites, appetites which have nothing to do with righteousness-1 John 2:16. This is how we make the wealth and why we can afford to live the lifestyle of our choice and command a domineering influence.

How often are those asking for help get it? Our Head chided us to give to all humanity that asks of us-Matthew 5:42. Once I mount that pulpit I get all I need by every means from those truly in need; with ease, I send this needy people to go and work hard, scavenge and come back and give more to me. I always get amazed how, not even a few of them have the wisdom to question my opulence. Instead I find brethren fighting over themselves who will applaud more my scamming skills and opulence.

On many occasions, I queried myself; who am I and why am I doing this to this people? I am getting all, even much more than I need from these brethren, yet I never feel satisfied; are these brethren I am skinning to the marrow getting their fair share; is their fair share confined to only giving to me and my cronies?

I am going to make a change. Proceeds must be shared amongst all based on need; brethren must be taught correctly to start giving to one another and to those truly in need, not to a titled idol like me. I must remove every semblance of scam and wickedness against Yahweh and my brethren no matter the pressure from trusted cronies. I am going to hand over to trusted charities 90% of all my wealth.

Because we received the gospel without paying for it, we must give it freely without charges. Please pray for me to live up to my words and pray for my fellow titled idols that are seriously involved in this game to give up the game.

Elohim, to you be the glory.

Eze Uduma.
