Why there's hunger

 

Deuteronomy 15:11

King James Version

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: 

therefore I command thee, saying, 

Thou shalt open thine hand wide 

unto thy brother, 

to thy poor, and to thy needy, 

in thy land.


In a world of plenty, why is there hunger?

As born again, I can only think of ONE clear reason:

People have forgotten GOD.


Everything has become for personal gain.

Help is often for tax exemption.

Or for personal prestige.

Not to mention, for political reasons.

Or perhaps, people try to buy their way into heaven.

JESUS commanded:

Matthew 6:3-4

King James Version

3 But when thou doest alms,

let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: 

and thy Father which seeth in secret 

himself shall reward thee openly.


Sure, there are many people in the world who sincerely want to help others.

But their help gets hijacked along the way.

There's a problem with distribution.

Through wars, corruption, and red tape.

The food gets spoiled, the money's pocketed, and the goods sold.

It never gets to those who really need it.

In place of food, the elite give them vaccines.

For there to be RADICAL transformation in the world, we must be born again.

That our actions may conform to GOD's will.

Only by being born again can SPIRIT teach us.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


We must focus on JESUS:

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


We must BELIEVE the gospel.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


We must LOVE.

Mark 12:29-30

King James Version

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; 

The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.


Mark 12:31

King James Version

31 And the second is like, namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment greater than these.


John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another.


Matthew 22:40

King James Version

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.


World hunger, and corruption, will end, the moment people call upon the LORD.

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.


For there to be a world transformation, there must be an INNER transformation.

We must become new, in CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.
