TO TEACH THE GOOD NEWS
If what you hear is not Good News of Great Joy,
it is not the Gospel of Jesus.
“In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Immediately coming up out of the water, he (John) saw the heavens torn open, and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him (Jesus); and a voice came out of Heaven saying: You are My beloved Son, in You, I am well-pleased and delighted!”
(Mark 1:9-11)
At this moment, when Jesus was 30 years old (Luke 3:23). He received the anointing of Holy Spirit to perform His ministry. He became the Christ (from the Greek word Cristos meaning the anointed one). Yeshua(Jesus)was the Christ for the three years of His ministry. After that, He rose to Heaven and became the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
A short message on the name of Yeshua/Jesus:
Please don’t be offended by this Truth. Jesus is not the Christ. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Christ is not His last name.
Yeshua (Jesus in English) is the name that is above all names. It is the name at which every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Yeshua (Jesus) is Lord. That is why the evil one wants us to use the word Christ instead of Jesus. (Phillippians 2:10-11)
The word Christ can not harm Him but the name Jesus makes Him bow. The translators who used Greek words primarily used this word to replace the word Hamacshiac meaning the Messiah. Jesus was the Messiah meaning the one who was to come until the instant that He was born.
Back to the teaching:
At this very instant, this happened:
“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up, and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me to preach the GOOD NEWS to the poor.
Meaning: those who are spiritually ignorant. Those who do not know, understand, or believe the Gospel of Jesus. Also, meaning those who are financially poor.
To the spiritually poor those under the law of Moses and the Gentiles who did not know God, Jesus brought the “GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE, and PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN.” The Good News is that WHOEVER believes and believes in Jesus will never perish but will live with Him forever and receive His great and precious promises while in their flesh suits and their Heavenly rewards when they are not. And that all that God requires of them is to believe and believe in the One Whom He has sent. There is no Greater News.
(John 3:16-18 and John 6:28-28)
GOD DOES NOT WANT US IN A STATE OF FINANCIAL INSECURITY. SO, HE TAUGHT US HOW TO GAIN PROSPERITY.
“Give, and it will (not might) be given to you. Men will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over with no space left for more. For with the standard of measurement you use when you do good to others, it will (not might) be measured to you in return.”
(Luke 6:38)
Think about this picture. After Jesus fed fifteen thousand people with two loaves and five fish until they could eat no more, there were twelve baskets of fish left over for the unbelieving disciples. (John 6:13)
Think about what happened twice to Peter when He listened to Jesus and threw the net on the other side of the boat. He caught so many fish that the nets began to break, and he had to bring another boat to help bring in the catch. (Luke 5:4-7, John 21:6)
Holy Spirit elaborated on the power to gain wealth through our teacher Paul:
“Now remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows generously that blessings may come to others will also reap generously and be blessed.
Let each one give thoughtfully and with purpose just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift. And God can make ALL GRACE (His willingness, ability, and power that has done for us those things which we can not or will not do for ourselves) so that you may always, under all circumstances, regardless of the need, have complete sufficiency (everything you need) in everything being completely self-sufficient in Him, and have an ABUNDANCE for every good work and act of charity.
As it is written and forever remains written,
He the benevolent and generous person scattered abroad, he gave to the poor, His righteousness endures forever!”
Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing, that is, your finances, and increase the harvest of your righteousness, which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous.
Holy Spirit also taught Peter that we were given ALL things necessary for life and Godliness by Jesus, who paid for them with His Blood.
(2 Peter 1:1-4)
THE KEYS TO PROSPERITY ARE TO GIVE, BELIEVE, AND RECEIVE BY FAITH WHAT GOD GAVE US BY GRACE.
Jesus continued His declaration of why Holy Spirit anointed His ministry:
He has sent Me to announce release pardon, forgiveness to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed(downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy), to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord/“
The acceptable year of the Lord is this present moment for those who believe.
The Captives were those bound to the Ten Commandments and the other six hundred and thirteen man-made ordinances. Jesus delivered the Jews from the Laws by fulfilling them. The Gentiles were captives of the consequences of their sins.
The blind that Jesus spoke of are those who are Spiritually blind. Their eyes are opened when they receive the Truth:
“I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. IF YOU HAD KNOWN ME, YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE FATHER. FROM NOW ON, YOU KNOW HIM AND HAVE SEEN HIM.”
(John 14:6-7)
Then He rolled up the scroll, having stopped in the middle of the verse, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down to teach. The eyes of all those in the synagogue were staring at Him. He began speaking to them: “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.”
(Luke 4:16-20)
BOOM! THANK YOU JESUS!
