Being wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked we have nothing that is presentable before the Lord. We are poverty stricken. It is like a member going into speculative business. And he asks the pastor to pray that he might reap good profits. When he gets them he would give half the proceeds to the Church.
Speculation is a form of gambling, and one is sure to lose as one indulges in it.
This member is asking amiss. God is a loving Father. If we ask Him to supply our basic needs, He will give us the best. If you are out of job, pray to the Lord and He will surely give you. Many are the testimonies on the back page of our Weekly how God has answered prayers and so the thanksgivings of our people.
