HAVE YOU BEEN TOYING AROUND WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF TITHES AND OFFERING?
God wants to communicate with you. He wants a deeper relationship with you so he can show you things. If you have been struggling with the principle of tithing and giving offerings in this economic climate, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IT!
The pull on your life to sow and give is a sign that God is pursuing you. I am not talking about some man begging you from the pulpit trying to make you feel guilty SO YOU CAN GIVE UP UR CASH. God does not operate to make you feel guilt.
But it is the silent pull from inside you. That feeling in your gut that says that this is somethingyou MUST do. Don’t argue with that feeling or unction. OBEY GOD! DO IT!
Obedience will open up your life, it will activate a line of communications between you and God where He will start to commune with you and show you things. In this time, it is vital that you be able to hear the voice of GOD! Your money depends on it. Your safety depends on it. Your opportunities depend on it. YOUR VERY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!EVERYTHING HINGES ON YOUR ABILITY TO ACCURATELY HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD!
God is not after your money! He is trying to get your attention so he can speak to your mind. One of the ways he can get to your mind is through your wallet. Where your treasures or money goes, your heart follows. And we pay attention to things that touch our heart. (Matthew 6:21)
Excerpts from —- Accessing the Windows of Heaven —- How to Reap the Benefits of Tithing
Read Genesis 28:12-22. You will find that Jacob only began to tithe after he became aware of God Reaching out to him. Is God reaching out to you? Respond! Obey his instructions.
Increase will follow obedience not because you give money (because there are a lot of people who tithe without this awareness and are still broke busted and disgusted) but BECAUSE YOU COMMUNICATE AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THE ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE YOUR MONEY, SAFETY, PROTECTION, WEALTH, IDEAS, CREATIVITY, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ETC ARE. The more you fellowship with God (fellowship is prayer and time in the Word) he will start to show you things.
Isaiah 45:3 says, And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. KJV
Most of the treasures God wants to give are INSIDE YOU. Treasures are hidden INSIDE YOU!
2 Corinthians 4:7 But this precious treasure — this light and power that now shine within us — is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies. Everyone can see that the glorious power within must be from God and is not our own. TLB
That treasure is revealed through the knowledge you gain of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and your Heavenly Father. Financial wealth is a byproduct of this knowledge. Creative ideas are a byproduct of that knowledge.
Strategic alliances are a byproduct of that knowledge. You and I are just one relationship, one contact, one person away from our goals, vision, and dream opening up to becoming a reality. God knows who you need to KNOW! God knows who needs to be a part of your life.God knows and he wants to tell you.
God will connect you to people who have the power to open up your life and activate movement on things you have been praying for for years—but you have to be able to hear God speak when he is trying to lead you and connect you.
AND HE WILL CREATE A PATH THAT LEADS YOU TO ALL OF THE ABOVE WHEN YOU OBEY HIM!
NOW YOU ARE AWARE.
NOW YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS PURSUING A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!
WILL YOU OBEY?
