Follow His Lead
‘The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage. Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” Acts 8:29-30.
The second way to learn to give more, apart from being deliberate, is to go with the Holy Spirit. Whatever He says for you to do, do it! It is the Holy Spirit that knows the things that your heart has begun to or beginning to worship and He can tell you to give it away because He is a jealous God. Obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I am praying that in God’s Favourite House it will be known that if you go there you will find God and your life will change. That people will say that you can just go into God’s Favourite house with Read the rest of this entry
More and More
‘Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others’ 1Tim.6:18.
I will intentionally give more and more and more. When you come to see me in the office, I am usually dressed simply, T-Shirt and jeans. When God blesses me with lets say three hundred and fifty million dollars [say Amen], you will still see me dressed in my jeans and T-shirt at the office. I am not going to now begin to wear Armani suits to the office. I deliberately will try to maintain my level of living so that I can Read the rest of this entry
A Test
‘The Lord All-Powerful says, “Try this test. Bring one-tenth of your things to me. Put them in the treasury. Bring food to my house. Test me! If you do these things, I will surely bless you. Good things will come to you like rain falling from the sky. You will have more than enough of everything’ Mal.3:10 [ERV].
In the Bible, numbers mean different things. One is the number for unity – one God the Father of all. Two is the number for witness – in the mouth of two or more witnesses. Three is the number for the Godhead, the Trinity. Four is the number for balance. Five is the number for grace. Six is the number for man. Seven is the number for perfection. Eight is the number for new beginnings. Nine is the number for fruitfulness. Ten Read the rest of this entry
A Tenth
‘The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives’ Deut.14:23 [TLB].
Yesterday, we established the fact that when Jesus came and fulfilled the Law, the part of the Law that He made irrelevant was largely the ceremonial law – the law of access to God. Jesus came to fulfill that law; He set aside the old so that He can bring about the new. That is the covenant that was replaced. The covenant Read the rest of this entry
Lesson Two
“‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.’ Lev.27:30 [NIV].
The second lesson in learning how to give more is to intentionally return to God what belongs to God. You have to deliberately give back to God what belongs to God. You have to be deliberate about your tithing. The tithe does not just fly out of your account, have you noticed? You have to be deliberate in paying it. ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house…’ Mal.3:10 [NIV]. God says the Read the rest of this entry
Lesson One
‘You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God’ 2 Cor.9:11 [NIV].
The All-Powerful God became helpless, at the “mercy” of Joseph and Mary, the amateur parents. Secondly, God came as a human being because man messed up and man had to fix it up. God became a human being because it will take man to put straight what man messed up. Christmas is such a big deal because of the relevance of Christmas. Christ, God came to earth and became a man. The Bible puts it this Read the rest of this entry
Rich Givers
‘Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others’ 1Tim.6:18.
God has blessed me with more than I need. I am grateful. I am rich. I will not trust in riches but in Him who richly provides for me. It is important that you realize that you are rich. It is not so much of a prophecy, it is a fact, and it is the truth. You are rich. Let me remind you that if you earn fifty thousand a month for instance, you are richer than five billion people on earth and you are in the top 21% richest Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances III
‘Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasures and inner turmoil’ Prov.15:16.
People who love and trust money have money in their hands but they don’t have peace in their hearts. If any of what we are studying in this season applies to you, then you have been deceived and you need to be delivered from that deception today. God is your source and He will provide for your needs. How do you know you don’t have peace? You know you don’t have peace when you consistently say, “If only I had Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances II
‘When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you’ Deut.8:10
Be content with your spouse. He or she is your portion. Contentment will even help your intimacy because your spouse will be comfortable around you and not self-conscious. Your spouse will confidently know that he or she is accepted. But when all you can see is that he or she is getting fat then something is wrong. I am not saying we should not challenge ourselves to be healthy or even better. I am just saying be Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances I
‘Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!’ Ecc.5:10.
The Almighty will bless you mightily and expand your coast greatly in Jesus Name. Believe me He will. Yet as the Lord begins to bless you, it is important that you put checks and balances in place so that you do not fall into the trap of loving, trusting, and chasing money. The question now is how does one know when he or she has begun to trust, love, and pursue money? For some of us we already know, so the next Read the rest of this entry
