The Haves and the Have Nots!

The Haves and the Have Nots!

This is what our country and other countries are built on, called "Democracy." Democracy means a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting. Democracy was proven to be defective because we choose Politis (Greek) where we get politics from and it means chief politician (president) among the political people (voters). We are looking for answers from a person who is just like us who created the problem in the world and now we want them to fix it because we voted them in.

What many do not realize the problems created in this world cannot be solved from the same place that created it. One of the tenets (belief or idea) of democracy is built on the power of private ownership. In Eccl. 5:10-14 speaks about what are the benefits for the owners? As for the rich, their abundance causes them to not sleep, and wealth that is hoarded harms its owners. Ownership creates the haves and the have nots. It creates poverty. Between the rich and the poor, there's the middle class who are never certain about anything because they are one step being poor or rich. Today, the middle class is becoming extinct. Soon we will have the rich and the poor like other third world countries.

Democracy is designed for us to depend on the people and they create a spirit of scarcity. Materialism is the result of individualism that creates the spirit of scarcity where people began to kill and fight each other just to secure material things. Spirit of ownership is materialism and it's very dangerous because it creates death! (Dr. Myles Munroe)

Once and for all, Jesus brought a new government on His shoulder to solve the flaws in democracy. Jesus came to remove the spirit of ownership to the spirit of access. Rich means I own and kingdom means He own. We can never hoard what is not ours. We can only use it. Having access to the kingdom of God relieves us from being stressed and worry because we are a steward over things. Ownership creates limitation, frustration, depression, contention, scarcity, stealing, poverty and stress.

The solution that Jesus brought, to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (right relationship with God) and all these things (needs) will be added to us. Earth cannot function without heaven. We need to have faith in God, not on things.
