You cannot expect a child that just started walking to run a marathon. Similarly, <\/span><!--more-->someone that just started walking with God cannot answer questions about tithing.\u00a0That is not his or her business at that point. First, he or she needs to learn to walk with God and then understand the covenant. It is from walking with God and understanding the covenant that you learn that tithing is a response to the covenant. It is foolishness to seek spiritual advice from someone who does not yet know their left from right. Be wise enough to examine the life of the person you want to take spiritual advice from. Obedience to God&#8217;s Word and applying His principles is always profitable!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When God speaks, sometimes it does not make sense. Many times, people get caught between obeying God and adjusting to society. That is the challenge of spiritual leadership. As you know, I am not in a popularity contest. Have you noticed that I do not even want to be popular? I just want the Name of Jesus glorified. So, this Pastor will do what God wants him to do, regardless.\u00a0 Everyone has to decide for themselves whether to keep attending church or whether to actually follow God. Are you going to just wear the \u2018I am a Christian&#8217; tag or are you going to seek and follow this true and Living God? No one can decide for you, you need to decide for yourself. What will it be?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first benefit of relentless calling is His heart is revealed, the second is we hear His voice and the third is we experience His power. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/mrk.10.52\">Mark 10:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">52<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Jesus said to him, \u201c<\/span><\/i><b><i>Go<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for your faith has healed you.\u201d <\/span><\/i><b><i>Instantly<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the man could see, and he followed Jesus\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (emphasis added). Your miracle will be instant, silent and complete in the Mighty Name of Jesus. When we know His heart, hear His voice and experience His power, the natural response is to follow Him like Bartimaeus followed Jesus. Do you want to follow Jesus today? I pray that you will experience God\u2019s heart revealed, you will hear His voice and experience His power manifested, in Jesus Name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Father, as I know Your heart and hear Your voice, let Your power manifest in my life and empower me to follow Jesus all the days of my life, in Jesus Name.
