“Gong Xi Fa Cai (Part 1)” by Rev Poh on 3rd Feb 2019
The Chinese character “Fatt” is to wish someone to be prosperous and increase in property. When Jesus in Luke 6:20 said to his disciples, “blessed are you who are poor for yours is the Kingdom of heaven”, this was because the disciples had left everything behind to follow him. So where do blessing for the poor comes from? The blessing for the poor comes from the Kingdom of God with the promise of eternal life. Christ believers have hope, peace and joy in their heart.How can the rich enter the Kingdom of God and how can the Rich be blessed?
Abraham was a rich man but he had God in his life. He was also spiritually rich which made his life complete. “Believe in Jesus Christ’ not only promises us Eternal Life after death in the FUTURE, but the Companionship of Jesus Christ in the PRESENT right at the moment we believe in Jesus Christ. So whether you are rich or poor, whoever hungers for God’s Word and is willing to believe in Jesus Christ, he/she will have Eternal life and the Kingdom of God is his/hers.
