Some people think that being a Christian, it is wrong to own anything or be rich and prosperous. This is contrary to what the bible teaches us. We learn that all the people who walked with God were prosperous in all that they did. Look at Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they were prosperous in there land. God kept on telling them that he will continually bless them. The intent of God is for his children to live in an overflow of all the good things that they desire in there lives. Everything belongs to him, therefore as his children, we are entitled to what our father owns. When God created man, he first put the provision first. He made sure that there was the garden of Eden which was filled with everything that man would ever need and want. The same applies to us. Before we were put on this earth, there was a provision sent first. Everything that we will ever need for the rest of our lives is already within us. We have everything that we can ever desire for within us. All that we need to do is activate our blessings through tithing, prayer and giving. This should be done with the right attitude. A heart of thanks giving and gratitude is expected from us by God when we give to him. Once God can trust you with little, he will bless you with much. He will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing you will not have room to receive.

Why Does God Allow Suffering?
By: Jack Wellman | 12/12/2009Why does God allow suffering that He is fully capable to stopping? This question has not only challenged Christians, but anyone. To witness histories or current atrocities and worldwide suffering on such catastrophic levels, can be a major stumbling block even for believers in Christ, not to mention atheists or agnostics. If God is "supposed to be an all-powerful and all-loving God, then why doesn't He stop it? Is He powerless, is He tired, is He even there...or maybe He's asleep."

The Founder of Our Feast: Christian Gifts for Christian Friends
By: Cathy Raff | 11/12/2009Christmas should not be about negotiating a mountain of gifts under the Christmas tree.

Caring For People
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityIt is not easy to have a burden for people who are not related to you. It takes God for someone to be compassionate and do something for people who are in need. We as men are selfish and self-centered. Thinking and being there for others is a gift from God. At times, it requires a lot of self sacrifice. All this can be achieved if we crucify ourselves and ask Christ to be our Lord and savior.
What Matters To God
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityWhat Matters To God When we get born again, we are so careful to do everything perfectly and please God in all that we do.

We want to tell everyone about this wonderful thing we feel and preach to everyone though most of the time we are not even sure of what we are saying. We spend a lot of time with God in prayer and reading his word.
The Workers Are Few
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityMathew 9:35-37. When Jesus was preaching the word to the people, many came from all parts of the world to see him and hear from him.

God Blessing You Financially
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityMany people miss the formula of how to get their financial breakthrough. It’s all very simple; you have to understand why God does things. He will not bless you so as you have a fat bank account. He wants you to have money so as you can feed, educate and shelter the needy. He wants you to be able to make a lasting change in someone else life. That’s the only time he will give you more than you need. The day you will truly understand this principle, you will be on your way to financial overflow
Where Does God Want You to Spend Most of Your Time
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianitySome people would say the church. If this was true, God would have made everyday a Sabbath. Jesus too would have spent all his time in the temple of God. God wants you to spend most of your time where you are of real use and are impacting on people's lives. If every one of us was truly being a good steward of what God has given us, most of the problems we see today would be a thing of the past.
Asking For God's Help
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityWhen challenges encompass us, as they will sometimes, what is your reaction? Do you run to God for help or do you just opt to do it on your own? What happens when we get a challenge is rush and get a quick solution for it. We most often than not do not remember that God wants to be there for us and take us through all that we face in this life. When all does not work, we remember him and ask if he can intervene.
Living for God
By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | ChristianityWhen we give our lives to God, we ask him to come and be our Lord and Savior. What this means is that we are not the drivers of our lives and destinies anymore but Jesus Christ is. We stop living for ourselves but for God. We ask that his will may be done in our lives. Whatever he wants to do in us, he may do to the glory and honor of his Holy name.
