Christians may not have excess of money, but we have Jesus Christ to share.

Acts 3:4-7

“And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.” Acts 3:4-7

Peter and John caught the attention of the crippled man, and he expected to receive money or some other gift to meet his physical needs. As soon as a needy person [homeless etc.] sees a follower of Jesus Christ, they would expect to receive something to feed them, keep them warm, etc. Most who do not know Jesus Christ nor the Holy Spirit defines Christians as an independent arm of the Goodwill, Red Cross or an ATM [money machine]. We want to help those in need, but we are much more than a soup kitchen, homeless shelter, etc. We are stewards of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, “Let a person so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.” 1 Corinthians 4:1

In today’s culture, we who live for the way of Jesus Christ has to be prepared to say what Peter said to the crippled man, “Silver and gold I do not have…” Prosperity is reserved for those who serve the community goals through the beast that gives people what to speak, do, think, and feel. Money and resources of this world go to those who do not seek to spread their “disposable income” with people who have been made outcasts of the social network. Today’s atheistic culture expects people to turn to government agencies for their needs, or for now, organizational channels, anything but personal charity through the Holy Spirit. This serves to turn the needy to the beast that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors and away from charity given in the name of Jesus Christ. This is why the digital currency is being implemented globally, which is to create a cashless society. Individual charity through the Holy Spirit is being made extinct. In 2025, the United States president declared to make the America the “crypto capital of world”. He signed an order called the “GENIUS Act” to establish the framework of making that happen. Click here for a post on the “GENIUS Act”.

While we do not have plenty of money and worldly resources, we can say with Peter to those in need, “…but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” What we do have to share, which is far more valuable than materialism, is the testimony of Jesus Christ. What we have is far more valuable than the healing of the physical body. We know someone who can give them the Holy Spirit. In contrast, those who give through government and community agencies [manmade churches included] have a form of Godliness but deny the power of Jesus Christ. As stewards of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we can give people the testimony of Jesus so that they can rise up in their belief in God and walk with Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Those riches include eternal life in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. We can strengthen others to walk in the Spirit and not to live by the flesh.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
