The Way of Get, influenced by Satan and his minions, embodies selfishness and unrighteous thinking, leading to death rather than life. It drives humanity to take and seize, both physically and spiritually, undermining belief in truth and allegiance to God. This path contrasts with God's way of give, rooted in love and concern for others. Succumbing to the Way of Get dishonors our spiritual Father, elevating self above God, and contradicts the principle of giving that underlies God's law. Instead of taking or extorting, we must produce and serve, caring for others' needs, aligning with the righteous way that pleases God and fulfills His purpose for His Kingdom.

  • Philippians 2:5-8
    Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

  • Luke 12:22-31
    Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
