<<<I read in the Word that Christ's Life overcame death, lack, poverty, sickness, disease, stop the storms, to be a blessing to those who came to him...>>>

Your understanding needs to be enlarged. Christ Life is all encompassing: it is the combination of the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit put together. Do you need further elaboration?

<<< I don't think the unbeliever can really see any Jesus unless you are doing what He is doing.. This is also part of being like Jesus ... What do u think ..isn't it ? >>>

Since you ask me, I will answer you. The non-believers are attracted to the life of Christ in us and not the material wealth. When people complain, you are so thankful; when people are troubled, you are so at peace; when people are worried, you are so cheerful; when people are hungry, you feed them; when people are thirsty, you give them drink; when people are homeless, you provide them with shelter. These Christian conduct will cause them to ask, "Why are you so different?" There will be boundless opportunities to share Christ. I thanked God that my conduct in Christ was the reasons for one of them to receive Christ as her personal Saviour and to share the gospel of salvation (and not the gospel of prosperity) to two of them and leaving them the gospel tracts. There are many who come to Christ not through the gospel of wealth but through the attractiveness of the godly lives in Christ. I beg to differ.

<<<have u not read what solomon said ? The wisdom of the poor is despised... I am afraid God is more practical than you...>>>

Where is the Scriptural reference? I am beginning to think that he is speaking about the spiritually depraved. What kind of wisdom which Solomon despised? It must be the worldly wisdom. Remember, the Bible says, "The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, and the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of this world." Are you infering that you are more practical than God by your shallow or "depraved" understanding. The Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

<<<You can pray for someone in need all you want..but nothing beats putting money in his hands... with your prayer.. :P >>>

Yes, you should pray and put money in his hands and not just pray only. Now what has Apostle James has to say on "Faith without works is dead." In Jas 2:15-17, "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

Let Christ be formed in us,
