Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus and the early Church advocated a Daily ministration for the needy. Jesus called out His ekklesia. The Church as we say today was institutionalized by Christ, Institutionalized means "established in practice or custom." Jesus spent years training His disciples which means "students" to be the ministers of His kingdom at hand, His government of God, which He took from those who were not bearing fruit and appointed to His "little flock". The problem today is most Churches are descended from the institutional Church of Constantine which was "established in practice or custom" in a different way. Constantine funded his new Church with tax money which provided for the poor. The modern institutional Church does the same. While there are many people who "say they are Christians" and many who are charitable people most of the care of the needy among the Churched and unchurched alike is provided by the state who merely takes from your neighbor to provide those benefits. These "covetous practices and customs" are contrary to the teachings of the prophets and certainly Jesus, James, Paul the Apostle and Peter and the "new covenant".

The Church established by Christ and appointed by Him to His little flock,[1] The gathered together and organized themselves by tens so that there were 120 families represented in the upper room.[2]

That day they began to preach the kingdom and baptize people by the thousands. Every family that was received the Baptism was cast out[3] of the welfare system of Corban set up by the Pharisees and Herod years before.

The early Church ministers were an actual corporate body appointed by Jesus who took the kingdom from those who were not bearing fruit and appointed it to those who were going to bear fruit. The Church ministers were much like the Levites before them appointed by Moses. They were much different than modern ministers who tickle the ears of the people more than they care for one another in Pure Religion.

They served the congregations of the people with daily bread in time of need much like the Levites who served the tents of the congregations of the people as a government that did not exercise authority one over the other but by provided a Daily ministration by Freewill offerings. Setting up that system of F

What was given to the Levites by the people, like the offerings of the people to the ministers of Christ, was both freely given and completely given.

The body of ministers amongst the Levites and the body of ministers amongst the early Church, both of whom became the Benefactors who did not exercise authority but rightly divided the bread of those Freewill offerings from house to house.[4]

He was descended from King David. Wise men had recognized Him as a King at birth. The people proclaimed Him the highest son of David when He entered Jerusalem.[5] He preached a kingdom at hand[6] and told us to do the same.[7] He took,[8] gave,[9] and appointed[10] the Kingdom.

The Kingdom had been on earth from generation to generation.[11] It was already there when He said He was going to take it away from the Pharisees and to appoint it to the little flock and then He did.
