MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR THE Eternal Body Of Christ 2-6-12

Gooood Morninnnnng........

“TEST ME ON THIS!”...SAYS GOD!...No other place in His Holy Word nor throughout all of His unfailing promises & decrees does He say this! Do you know in reference to what, that God said this? It is in reference to Acknowledging God & in Giving back to Him. Several correlating scriptures help us gain a greater foothold on the subject and subject is Tithing!

As I have studied & researched God’s Biblical principle concerning our use and/or misuse of all He hath created and shared with us, I am reminded of a very illustrative comment made by a very wise Prophet who spoke on the subject. He said, “If I borrowed your car & used it for the entire day and then returned the car to your garage at the end of the day, is that to be considered as me giving you something?” No, that would be ludicrous! You would merely be respecting the Grantor of that privilege by returning to them what is rightfully theirs. In respect to TITHING, understand this: God is the Creator & Grantor of all things. He gives to us freely! If we have any blessings come our way; a dollar, a piece of land, vehicle, an hourly wage, anything,...It is all by God’s Grace, Mercy & Love!  He is responsible and has gifted you every opportunity, all of your skills and abilities. In truthfulness, what could we give God? He is merely asking for us to Honor Him by acknowledging that it is all His to begin with and that He has graciously bestowed His gifts upon us.

He knows that we have expenses, responsibilities & needs. Precisely why this principle is steeped in profound promises & backed by an iron clad guarantee, because He wants to Bless us abundantly! The challenge He gives us is illustrated in Malachi 3: 6-11. It is His great Joy to Bless us, especially when we are faithful to Honor Him, to obey & to return His rightful portion, with a joyous & thankful heart! Why does God challenge us on this? Not because He wants to take anything from us but to prove Himself honest and unfailing! If God can work through our obedience to Bless us, He knows that through that, we gain faith. That faith, newly gained, can then be harnessed by the Lord when it comes time to ask us to surrender something that might otherwise prohibit our closeness with Him.

God places an anointing over the 90% that is left over (after tithing)! Without that special dispensation, we all know what is like to have money that just doesn’t stretch out enough to cover our bills. That wont be the case for the Tithing believer! God will protect what you are left with and it will spend like double in your hands, or perhaps even greater. See ( Malachi 3:11 )

He is in need of nothing from us, truly! Anything that we could deny Him, He could in turn create or recreate.  It’s more about the obedience, the willingness, the acknowledging. It’s like a child that saves up his chore money to buy Mommy or Daddy a special present! What parent wouldn’t just be elated over that? What special treat, gift or affection would the parent withhold to a child such as that? Nothing I tell you and Neither will our Heavenly Father!

The principle is simple...”The more you are Tithing, the More God is Blessing you, The More God is Blessing you, the More you Tithe!”


Create for yourself an envelope and write this on the front:
"God gets my first and my best and through His great Promise I make due with the rest!"
Make this your first stop before paying anything! See what God begins to do for you! Use that envelope to draw from when you Give at church or the correct charitable organization that God leads you to.

I would say "Trust me it works" But I have one better for ya..."Trust HIM, it works!

Bless you and enjoy the prosperity that He has in store for you!

Abba Father, speak to your children so clearly on this that it becomes not a question of when to tithe or how much to tithe but rather it becomes, to give is to receive! Embolden and empower those who are seeking for a supernatural outpouring of abundance from you to Take this challenge, seriously, that they may give tremendously and therefore receive exceedingly! Work your multiplications Father on behalf of all of your faithful servants and as we steward our monies back to You, Bless us in Your special, Luke 6:38 way: “ good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, into our bosoms” in Jesus Mighty name, we seek, we pray and we offer thanks, Amen

Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes
6 “I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD Almighty.
  “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
  “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
  “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty.

Proverbs 3:9
Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything your land
produces.

Matthew 10:8:
“Give as freely as you have received.”

Matthew 23:23:
 “How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees.
Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, but
you ignore the important things of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should
tithe, yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things.
