LIFE IN HEAVEN – PART THIRTY-ONE
Saturday – November 24, 2018, Kislev 16, 5779
TIME FRAME FIVE
Ephesians 4:8 to 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17
JESUS BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT TO THE CATCHING AWAY
Greeting dear saints of God and welcome back to this wonderful imagination stimulating and hope building study with some speculation about life in Heaven. I am still writing about the fifth time-frame which is the one in which we live today. We will soon move into the sixth time-frame and beyond. I have been talking about not only life in Heaven but also about how that life is reflected upon the earth. Currently we have been thinking about the pillars upon which society both in Heaven and in earth function. These pillars provide organization and order. You will or may recall that there are seven pillars, seven is a Bible number indicating spiritual completion.
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
The following are the generally accepted pillars of Heaven and earth. Of course, we see gross perversions of these at times in the earth but none the less they are recognizable. Thus far I have discussed the first four on the following list and today I will pick up with number five, Business and Finance.
The seven pillars established by God, by Wisdom, are as follows; 1. Religion, 2. Government, 3. Media and Information, 4. Education and Science, 5. Business and Finance, 6. family, and 7. Arts and entertainment. Seven is the number of spiritual completions.
Business and Finance Pillar
Just as with some of the other pillars of society we are all in some of them if only to a limited degree. For example, the Religious Pillar contains all Christians however there are those whose main calling or assignment of God is to that pillar. This would include persons called and functioning in the Five-Fold Ministry as an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, or Teacher. Of course, some persons will function in more than one office. There will be others called primarily to the Business and Finance Pillar however are not called to Wall Street but to function in the management of Church business. Yes, Churches should need professional financial management and it should be far from rare in the congregation.
Why do we allow Pharisaical preachers and the world intimidate us in this area? Why do we see that those who we refer to as the Patriarch’s under the Old Covenant be the richest men of their time and today under a much better Covenant we do not see that and Christian people in fact hide their wealth? There are many areas in the Church with really rotten teaching and one is in finances. Every Pastor is looking for large offering to do the will and work of God and then preaches poverty. I heard a man just yesterday screaming on Facebook that Jesus did not die so we could have a 40 million-dollar homes but for the sins of the world. What the Church needs to understand is that yes, the Blood of Jesus took away the sins of the world and provided for our full redemption back to the garden and better for we are in Christ Jesus. We also must understand that wealth is a Covenant right guaranteed by that same Blood, as is our health and healing, and the wholeness of our families. In the Kingdom it is all by faith (in God and His Word), powered of love (motivation), focused on the hope (goal), and led of Holy Spirit. Covenant guarantees (benefits) are not automatic but available in abundance with the discharge of Covenant responsibilities. Just like the company you work for, there is a ladder of finance and position you can ascend but only with the faithful and excellent discharge of your responsibilities which move the company forward. No different in the Kingdom of God. Wakey, wakey Church!!
People who are called of God and are now functioning in the earthly pillar of Business and Finance in the earth for themselves or others will be tasked or assigned in Heaven to oversee the Heavenly assets. There is no lack or shortcomings in Heaven but neither is there any waste. These people will be assigned to oversee the best uses of all assets according to the will of the Father. Just as here in the earth we will not be assigned or given control by God of any more assets then we are trained to handle with all diligence neither will that occur in Heaven. People are not poor or rich in the Kingdom of God by some sort of happenstance; no, it is directly related to their Kingdom financial skills. I realize this may be a very hard pill to swallow but there it is. If we want more assets to manage according to the will of God in the earth then we must be diligent to learn Godly business and finance knowledge. We, the people of God, are to operate on a supernatural level in this area, all areas. Oh no, there are those diligence and knowledge words again! The people in this Business and Finance pillar will instruct us in the proper oversight of all the Father assigns us to be involved with. We must seek these people out so that we can fulfill the will of God in our personal lives and function more fully in the office of a king in the earth for the Kingdom of God. These things must be taught diligently in our Churches.
Until our next publication, confess the following passage and walk before Whom we have to do with great rejoicing and thanksgiving. This physical body is our humiliation but soon it will be no more for the glory of God and our eternal benefit.
John 14:1-4 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
