There have always been, and there will be, opportunists in all spheres of society,
especially within the Lord's church; they are unproductive people, who take advantage
of every occasion to enjoy the various advantages. Let us see a great warning on the
subject in the Words of God.
2 Thessalonians 3:10
For when we were with you, we commanded you this, if anyone does not want to work,
let him not eat either.
See, the event was rendered in the midst of God's people, which is no different from the
present day; so that we perceive many adventurers who are wandering from one place
to another, with the title of missionaries and staying in the houses of the brothers,
particularly those who have a better purchasing power and provide comfort to these
vagrants.
We cannot fail to mention those who do nothing in favor of their own salvation, and still
have the luxury of criticizing those who produce in favor of the Kingdom of God on the
face of the earth.
1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I have written to you not to associate with those who, calling themselves
brethren, are fornicators, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner, nor eat with such.
The saved in Jesus Christ must avoid those kinds of people or places that might promote
sins of this nature; such are spiritually toxic, and are in the world to promote eternal
separation from God.
The Holy Bible shows a great example when we see the people who followed Jesus, they
were the same people who drank wine at the wedding at Cana in Galilee, ate bread and
fish, were healed, freed from demons. However, at the time of the crucifixion they
claimed the freedom of the thief Barabbas and ordered Jesus killed to kill Christ. Let's
look at a rebuke given through Jesus.
John 6:26
Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because
you ate the loaves and were filled.
Unfortunately, the world has become a stage of disputes for power and advantages,
where the majority do not want to produce, but to enjoy. The greatest example can be
found in the Brazilian political class.
Isaiah 10:1-2
01 - Woe to those who enact unjust laws, and to the scribes who prescribe oppression,
02 - To divert the poor from their rights, and to snatch the rights of the afflicted.
All political leadership wants to be good; but before the Word of God, the true intention
of this parasitic class is made explicit.
Finally, in addition to facing this range of evaders, we are still victimized by those who
work in other social, spiritual and psychological fields, having as main aggressors those
who work in the various evangelical churches, presenting a message of love, piety and
renewal, having appearance of friends; when in reality they seek to extort the simple at
heart who are not mature in the faith.
I Timothy 3:1-5
01 - Know, however, this: That in the last days difficult times will come.
02 - For there will be men who are lovers of themselves, greedy, presumptuous,
haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to fathers and mothers, ungrateful, unholy,
03 - Without natural affection, irreconcilable, inconvenient, cruel, without love for the
good,
04 - Traitors, obstinate, proud, more fond of pleasures than of God,
05 - Having an appearance of godliness, but denying its effectiveness. Stay away from
these.
So are the parasites that are on the face of the earth to promote their material and
satanic intentions. Only the love of Jesus Christ can free man from such onslaughts; but
it is essential to accept the Lord Jesus as the only and sufficient savior, so that in this
way he can receive refreshment and deliverance.
