THE PILLARS OF CHRISTIANITY
Christianity is built on three strong foundations that help every believer to access the throne room of our heavenly Father, irrespective of your gender, tribe, age culture, etc. The importance of these pillars in the life of every Christian can not be underestimated. The three (3) pillars of Christianity are;
1, ALMSGIVING ( Matthew 6:1-4 ).
2, PRAYER ( Mathew 6:5-15 ).
3, FASTING ( Mathew 6:16-18 ).
These three pillars mentioned above are the keys to peace, happiness, spiritual growth, financial freedom, good health, and prosperity.
ALMSGIVING
The Hebrew word for Alms is Sadaqa, meaning justice or righteousness. Giving to the poor helps reestablish the right order and produces justice. Psalm 112: 1-10, says blessed is the man that fears the Lord, that delight greatly in his commandments. Verse 2, His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Verse 3, Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures forever. Verse 4, Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious and full of compassion, and righteous. Verse 5, A good man shows favour, and lend: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Verse 9, He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
Almsgiving is the key to success. The Bible tells us further in the book of Luke 12:33 " Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroy." Whatever good deeds you do to the poor, remember that you are not doing it to man but God and He will repay you in full. ( Proverbs 19:17 ).
