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
Generational Consequences
‘For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me’ Ps.51:3 [NIV]
The second thing we need to know is that sin in the parents becomes iniquity in the children. Parenting is such a powerful thing. If parents choose to disobey God, it becomes iniquity in the children. The root word for iniquity is crookedness. In other words, crookedness becomes wired into the children. So what the parents choose to do in disobeying God, the children do it by default. So if the parent chooses to lie, Read the rest of this entry
Consider Your Ways!
‘…and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.’ Hag.1:6-7.
The fourth way you can relate with money is Lose Money. I am praying that you will not lose money in Jesus Name. I am praying for everyone that has lost money, God will restore you in Jesus Name. Losing money can be terrible and for some people it has become a perpetual trend in their lives. They can see what God has blessed them with record wise but they cannot see it tangibly. It is as though Read the rest of this entry
You Will Obey!
‘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
Sadly, not every Christian will prosper and I will show you why. ‘…there shall be no poor among you; for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess…’ ‘But if there are any poor Israelites… in the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or tightfisted toward them’ ‘There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with Read the rest of this entry
Acceptable Offering
Abel also brought a gift-the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift’ Gen.4:4.
David said, I will not offer to God something that will not cost me anything’. So we see from scripture that you cannot separate the man and his offering because the man is his offering and the offering is the man. An offering accepted is the man accepted and an offering rejected is the man rejected. I am praying that God will not reject your offering in the Name of Jesus. The Bible says that God rejected Cain and his offering but He accepted Abel and his offering. You need to make sure that your life is first acceptable to God. And how do Read the rest of this entry
The First And Best
‘Afterward the Lord asked Cain, where is your brother? Where is Abel? I don’t know, Cain responded. Am I my brother’s guardian? Gen.4:9
Sometimes when God asks you a question it does not mean He does not know the answer. Some situations we find ourselves in are questions and we must respond the way that God expects. Read Genesis 4:1-10. The first thing that will jump out at you from this passage of scripture is that it is not enough to bring an offering to God. It is not enough to give God an offering anyway you like. When you are bringing God an offering, never forget that God reserves the right to accept or reject that offering. Remember always to whom you Read the rest of this entry
Blameless Word
‘Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes…’ Mal.3:10-11.
A lot of believers have questions about tithing. Some say they always bring an offering to God but do not tithe so they want to know if God will kill them. I would say no, God won’t kill you but devourers just might because they will face your finances. The only answer to avoiding devourers is to tithe, nothing more nothing less. The Word of God is clear on this. God says ‘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 Read the rest of this entry
