Blessed Are the Meek

Matthew 5:2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: v3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. v4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. v5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. v6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. v7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.  v8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Beloved, you haven't really seen the totality of the gospel message in all its power until you have been to some of the poor countries of the world.  In the Scripture above, taken from the Sermon on the Mount, our Lord Jesus lays out some very profound truths.  Why do the poor in spirit, and the poor in material wealth, so often coincide in the same people, in the same countries of the world?  The poor have nowhere else to turn when they have exhausted all their resources, and government has very little to offer them to help them out of their poverty.  "Where could I go, where could I go, seeking a refuge from the storm?  Needing a friend, to help me in the end, where could I go but to the Lord?"  (Gaither Vocal Band).  At Gather the Outcasts Ministry, we are making only a small dent in the poverty of the village. We employ quite a number of people, working on the farm and children's home, operating the posho mill and duka store.  However, the impact in the spirit realm, though not easily measured, is much more profound, as it goes on for eternity.  To see people come to the Lord, especially from generations of pagan religions and witchcraft, is exciting and the most fulfilling endeavor to which a person can aspire.  This is our daily walk, the fire that burns in us, to fill the poor in spirit with the Living Water, the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. We invite you to partner with us as we take the message of truth to the people of Kenya.  Pray about your part!  Thank you for your prayers and support.  Living Water Church @www.facebook.com/jimrowh
