Reasons Why Tithing Doesn’t Work for Some People Pt. 2

Many things work together to create the blessings we need. Success is often the result of several things working together. Tithing cannot be studied in isolation. Obeying God in the matter of tithing is just one of many commandments of the Lord. It is good that you would obey the Lord in paying your tithes but you must also obey the Lord in other areas. When the apostle Peter spoke of bearing fruit and being useful to God, he mentioned several things that would have to work together to make you fruitful. The question then remains, is God a liar? Why are some People’s Tithe’s not producing the right results?
 
We see clearly in Malachi 3:10, Numbers 23:19 that, It is impossible for God to lie but many of us who will not do the right thing and what God has commanded as we ought to, will cause God to be a liar in our lives. God cannot lie, he says when you pay tithe he open the windows of heaven and pour our blessings such as we will not have room to contain but is it the case for most Christians? No, because our excuses for doing what God has commanded the way he wants it done is a lot. We continue our study on reasons why tithing doesn’t work for some people. Be blessed as you listen to this great teachings from our father.

Reasons Why Tithing Doesn’t Work for Some People Pt. 1

Tithing is giving 10% or one-tenth of ALL your income for the month to the Lord at the end of every month. “Many things work together to create the blessings we need.

The Blessings of Tithing Pt. 1

Tithing is simply giving 10% or one-tenth of ALL your income in a given month to the Lord at the end of every month as your recognition of His blessings in your life and in obedience to His commandments. NOTE THE FOLLOWING THINGS ABOUT THE COVENANT OF TITHING
1. The only time God invites his people to test, examine or prove him (bāḥan) is Malachi 3:10 which relates to tithing in the whole Bible. God killed all Israelites in the wilderness from 20years and above because they tempted him ten (10) times - Numbers 14:19-23. But when it came to tithing he invites us to prove him or tempt him. In other words, you can start paying tithes faithfully and expect God to bless you and you will be assured that it will happen.
2. Tithing is a covenant between God and the Christian who is born again, according to the command in Acts 2:38. The covenant of tithing was only for the children of Abraham, not the unsaved. “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Tithing has nothing to do with unbelievers so you must not listen to unbelievers opinion on tithing in order to decide what to do.
C. Tithing is a test: God tests the Christian’s ability to trust him with his or her material wealth. It’s a test of do you trust God with your financial prosperity and are you faithful to covenant of tithing from nothingness?
D. The foundation of tithing is the belief that God is the creator of everything, hence the owner of all things. It is the Abrahamic declaratioggn of faith that says 'ĕlōhîm rā'â – God will see to it or God will provide - Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14).

The Blessings of Firstfruits Pt. 2

Firstfruits is a great mystery that many Christians have wrestled with but there is no point to be confused. Honour the Lord with your substance and with the firstfruits of all your increase. You must learn to honour the Lord, alot of Christians have no honour for the Lord. One of the several ways to honour the Lord is with your substance and it can be done through offerings, tithes and firstfruits. Today our focus is on honouring the Lord with your firstfruits.
The word translated firstfruits is the Hebrew word ‘rê'shı̂yth’ which means; A. First - It represent not just harvest or salary but something that is first in the lives of His people. Thus whatever or to whoever they give that sacrifice will become what is first. God desires to be first in our lives and He doesn’t want to share in that position with anyone. Thus, God knowing what the first harvest or salary of the year represented, He instructed for it, so He can release a special blessing on their lives. Be blessed as you listen to the second part of this challenging and very instructive message.

Prophetic Release: On Eagles Wings

This was after God had delivered His people from bondage in Egypt with an outstretched arm, through many plagues and efforts. Yet after they left, Egypt and Pharaoh won’t let them go, so he chased after Moses and the delivered Israelites. They crossed the Red Sea on dry grounds and still weren’t conscious of what was happening. They were spiritually insensitive to signs and wonders of God.
 
The Israelites came to Raphidim which is the place of rest in between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai. After which they got to Mount Sinai where Moses received the commandments from God directly. Be blessed as you listen to this powerful message.

Lessons From The Birth Of Christ

Christmas marks the celebration of the birth of the greatest mortal man to ever live on the surface of the earth —— Jesus Christ! Many Christians celebrate this day without necessarily taking time to draw great lessons from it live their lives.
Lessons From The Birth Of Christ Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem because of the population census but his actual hometown is Nazareth, that is where Jesus was raised.
1. Where you are born doesn’t determine what you will become in the future. Jesus was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, one of the most “useless” of places in Israel and yet he became great (Mathew 2:21-23, John 1:45-46)
2. The family into which you are born, doesn’t necessarily determine what becomes of your life. Jesus was born into the family of Joseph the Carpenter. What great destiny can come out of a child whose father is a carpenter? But Jesus became great despite his poor background (Mark 6:3)
And many more, listen to this thought provoking message from our Man of God to receive great wisdom for the coming year!

The Gates Of 2025

A Gate is actually a physical barrier that leads into an opening. So gates actually make an open space enclosed. What gates do is to limit access into a realm or place. Gates are also use to secure precious assets or belongings.Anything that is very important has a gate secure it and ward off all intruders or invaders. The greatest thing about the new year is that the good things of the new year are limited and secured by the gate of 2025. Only those who have the spiritual keys to the year can access the good things in the year. Be blessed as you listen to this message.

Knowing And Doing The Will of The Lord

Our Christian walk with the Lord is not so much about the good things that we think we have done. When it comes to the Kingdom of Heaven, it is doing the will of God. Every other thing doesn’t matter. Whatever you are doing, make sure you are saved. Belonging to a church is good but it’s most important that you look for the will of God for your life and walk in it. Many Christians are living life as though there is no purpose but that is a deception. There must be a great reason why God brought you here. If you should fall to the ground today and die, are you ready to meet God? How prepared are you to account for your life before Christ? This message will bless you and give you a course to reconsider your life and ways before the Lord.
