When I was growing up, I use to think that when I will be big, I will build a charity home to Carter for the poor. Today, I am the poor looking for bread in the trash. Many think that helping the underprivileged is charity. It is an issue of justice. The poor are suffering injustice, they are not free people. The world have derived a better way to deny a poor man justice. They call it scamming. Each time they ask for food, to escape and not give us food, they call it scam.
Christian preach love but thousands of their neighbors go to bed hungry. Being poor in a community is a sin. The poor are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody. Every time you go on leisure, each time you go on holidays, each time you throw away food, old clothes and use households equipments, you are perpetrating injustice to the poor and hungry.
Why can we not sit down to eat with all those who haven’t eaten. Why can you not Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need, the remainder is needed by others. Anybody who give bread to the hunger is a God.
Hunger has made many thieves. Hunger have made many to go to the street in protest. Hunger have produced terrorists, murderers etc. People everywhere can have three meals a day if we want. We can all have quality education. I have the audacity to challenge our leaders to end hunger and see how all human crisis, killings, stealing and lies telling will die a natural death. I have the audacity to challenge church authorities to fight hunger and worship will be so exceptional
If the society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. We will continue to live on chaos . If the lord has blessed you, pray that the Lord makes you worthy to serve those throughout the world who live and die in poverty or hunger. Give them their daily bread, and give them love, peace and joy
To me, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Pluto said “The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it’s almost impossible to stamp out.
We were created to use material things and love people and not to use people and love material things. Love is the climax of Christianity and the highest quality of God’s character. If I can give a million in church but refused to help a hungry brother, then my Christianity is deformed and my giving is a transaction inspired by greed. Many of us give to charity organizations who out out of 100% will give just 10% to the poor. They used it to buy cars, open business and intimidate the poor.
When the lord shows a man mercy, he should not be tempted to think that his neighbor is lazy. There are people who fasted for days without hearing or encountering God while some were eating when Jesus visited them. There is election by mercy. Most people think we have committed a sin when we ask for mercy. The mercy of God is deeper than forgiveness(Psalm 102:13).
Man is but man, even the best of man is still man. My prayer is always that “Oh lord show me mercy.” Many will call be names but they are not my God.
Psalm 119
41. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
77. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight
156. Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
Amen
