WE SHOULDN’T SEGREGATE DISCIPLES BASING ON THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION.
From a realised perspective to analogy, we note that some of us have pride but we do not even know that we have pride. We have a negative feeling towards those who are still struggling. To those who don’t have anything for sure
Many Christians today think like the people of the world .
They have become observer’s of other people’s financial situations with less concern for their divine mandate .
When they realise a disciple who has money they want to hang around with that disciple all the time and when they realise a brother who is still struggling they don’t attach any value to that person because of his present circumstances in view not knowing that life can change for good for that person they considered irrational
They only want to hang around those who have money and those who are in their validation of interest in terms of status and position.
The bible forbids us from being hardhearted or tightfisted towards a poor brother Deuteronomy 15:7[7]If there is among you a poor man, one of your kinsmen in any of the towns of your land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your [minds and] hearts or close your hands to your poor brother;
