Test of Trust II
“God is ready to overwhelm you with more blessings than you could ever imagine so that you’ll always be taken care of in every way and you’ll have more than enough to share” 2Cor.9:8 [VOICE]
The third thing you need to know about tithing is giving a tithe to something or someone other than God is robbing God. God said it Himself [Please read Mal.3:8-10]. Giving your tithe to a motherless babies home is not tithing. It is a free will giving which you and I should do as Christians because the Lord expects us to take care of the poor. But your tithe is your first ten Read the rest of this entry
Test of Trust I
“Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you? “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me” Mal.3:8
Everything we own is a test of our trust. It was that trust that the enemy was attacking with Adam and Eve. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil” Gen.3:5. God had told Adam and Eve do not eat of this fruit. The same way growing up a lot of us grew up to revere “daddy’s chair” in our own homes as well Read the rest of this entry
Test of Devotion
“Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other” Deut.4:39 [NIV]
Everything we own is a test of our devotion. And a key thing to devotion is recognizing God as Source and Sovereign. If you are struggling to have consistent devotion with God, check, does your heart really recognize God as your Source and as Sovereign? The key to devotion is every time you go before God, every time you bow before Him, you worship Him, you pray, you have your Read the rest of this entry
Test of Affection
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” Luke 12:34
It is important to mention that money as we have referenced in days past is symbolic of everything we own. And by everything we own we mean our treasure, our time, and our talent [Everything we own = Treasure + Time + Talent]. However, our focus is going to be on treasure because we use our time and talent to get treasure. Everything we own is a test; a test of our Affection. God wants Read the rest of this entry
A Test
“You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say” Ps.17:3
A lot of people have live-in helps, which automatically means they enjoy the luxuries in those homes. If you live in a place where there is uninterrupted power and free water, the help enjoys all that too. He or she can eat whatever he wants to eat and is free to bath three or five times a day. But the day the help begins to forget his or her place in the home, that is the beginning of the end Read the rest of this entry
More Than These?
“After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him” John 21:15.
Every utterance will be tested. I am telling you this, by the grace of God, as somebody that is privileged [as we all are also] to walk with God. As you walk with God, believe me, God will test everything. When Abraham said He loved God, like Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you” John 21:17. In other words, he was saying you are the God that knows the heart of Read the rest of this entry
All In!
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him” Ps.24:1.
In building altars and sacrifices, there should be nothing in your life that you cannot give to God. You shouldn’t have a sacred cow that you cannot sacrifice. You would be setting yourself up for a fall if you did because satan would know that that is your weakness and he will come after it. But if there is nothing in your life that you cannot offer up to God even when they are still in your control, then you Read the rest of this entry
Prosperity Test II
“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God” Luke 12:21
Caution! How you respond determines how heaven responds. How that man, Scripture describes him as the ‘rich fool’ responded determined how God responded. “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’ Luke 12:20. When you get that windfall – it is a test. When you get that promotion – it is a test. God is testing you. And I am praying that you will pass the test in Read the rest of this entry
Prosperity Test I
‘He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods’ Luke 12:17-18.
Every time you get an increase or a breakthrough and you are wondering what to do with it, be sure heaven is also wondering what you would do with it. That is the prosperity test. And like every other test, people can either fail or pass the prosperity test. The man in Luke 12:16-19 shows us clearly how to fail the test. Failing the prosperity test is simple – believe that ‘the more’ is always for you. To fail the test I believe that Read the rest of this entry
