rudedough: [b]@dumo.ala Sir, God moved all the covenants and promises from the Jews to the Christian Church. The “new covenant” giving to Israel (Jer.31: 31-37) was therefore fulfilled by Christian Church. Please note that “not all descendant of Israel belong to Israel” (Rom. 9:6) because they rejected the “new covenant” of our Lord Jesus Christ. Israel refers to all those who obey the new covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ, who are thereby called the true children of Abraham (Gal. 6:29). Church is now “the Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16). Israel denotes only those who are Christians, and Christians are the inheritors of the covenants and blessings giving to Abraham and his descendants. So the church is Israel and Israel as you now know is the church. 1 Like |

rudedough: Sir, The message in that verse of the bible was for the children of Isrealites, If you Read Malachi 3:6, you will see that God mentioned "Sons of Jocob", am sure you know we are all children of Abraham.... |

This is, of course, the most familiar financial subject to Christians. Nearly all of us are aware of the practice of tithing, but very few actually realize its true significance. It was a commandment of God to Israel and 10 percent of their first fruits belonged to God. As I mentioned earlier, when God told me to teach this subject for the first time, He led me to Deuteronomy 26 where He first introduced it to Israel. Let’s start with the first verse and relate this to our role under the new covenant. “And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein.” How does this relate to the Christian? The Word says in Colossians 1:13 "That God has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son". We are living in the kingdom of God. We have entered into our inheritance in Jesus Christ and possess it in His Name. We have the title deed to this kingdom through faith in Jesus Christ. The authority has been given to us, and God is showing us how to exercise our tithing privileges in order to maintain control efficiently in the financial world. Verses 2-3, “That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there. And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days.” Who is this priest? Hebrews 3:1 says that Jesus is our High Priest. Hebrews 7:8, speaking of Jesus, says He receives our tithes personally. Therefore, we are to go to Him with our tithes and say to Him, “I profess this day into the Lord God that I am come into the inheritance which the Lord swore to give me.” This is a very important point in the tithing procedure: Make a confession before your High Priest. Verse 4, “And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.” Can you see where we have been missing it? We quickly drop our tithe money into the offering plate as it passes by or stuff it into an envelope without a thought. Instead, we are to present it to Jesus, Who, in turn, will set it before the altar of God. Then in verses 5-10, the Lord builds Israel a confession telling of His mighty work in their lives and of delivering them from bondage in Egypt. At this point, we Christians need to switch to our position under the New Testament. We were sinners in the world, and our confession should be something like this: “I am in the land which You have provided for me in Jesus Christ, the kingdom of Almighty God. I was a sinner serving Satan. He was my god. But I called upon the Name of Jesus, and You heard my cry and delivered me from the power and authority of darkness and translated me into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Jesus is my Lord, and I bring the first fruits of my labors to Him as the High Priest and worship You with it. We rejoice in all the good which You have given to us and our household.” This is our confession of redemption equivalent to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. The Bible says this is a type of our deliverance from Satan. Israel pointed to Egypt; we point to Cavalry. Now as a guide for you to use, we have set out this entire confession based on Deuteronomy 26: We profess this day unto the Lord God that we have come into the inheritance which the Lord swore to give us. We are in the land which You have provided for us in Jesus Christ, the kingdom of Almighty God. We were sinners serving Satan. He was our god. But we called upon the Name of Jesus, and You heard our cry and delivered us from the power and authority of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Jesus, as our Lord and High Priest, we bring the first fruits of our income to You and worship the Lord our God with it. We rejoice in all the good which You have given to us and our household. We have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God and have done according to all that He has commanded us. Now look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless us as You said in Your Word. All of this involved in tithing. You can readily see that it can’t be done in the few seconds before the plate is passed in church. It must be done on purpose, but I guarantee you, it is worth every minute of it! My wife and I write our tithe checks, hold them before God, and take the time to pray over them. Our money then becomes a tool used in worshiping God. Deuteronomy 26:10 says that the high priest will set the tithes before God and worship Him with them. Can you grasp Jesus worshiping God with your money? Wow! That’s quite a picture. There is another part of this confession, from verses 14-15, which is very important: “I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.” In contrast, we have thought, I’ll just keep giving and maybe one of these days He will notice it and bless me. This is wrong. The blessing of God is received by faith in His Word. It does not come automatically, just as salvation does not come automatically. You could say, “Well, go to church and God will save you one of these days, if you’re lucky!” No, the laws governing salvation must be acted on in order for them to work in your life. Prosperity comes the same way. As we can see in Malachi 3:10-11, God has promised the tither that He will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive. We had an opportunity to put this to work some years ago when a friend of mine had come to a standstill in his construction business. He hadn’t received a contract in a long time and something had to be done, so he and his wife came to us for prayer. As I was praying about his situation, the Lord showed me how to handle the problem. He was a tither, so we used what was his according to the Word in Malachi 3:10-11, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, 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, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field.” We prayed in line with this and believed God for an abundant blessing. Then we rebuked the devourer, Satan. We said, “Satan, this man is a tither, and you have no right to bind his business. In the Name of Jesus, we command you to get your hands off and do it now!” When I spoke with him about three months later, he said that business had begun to pour in. Praise the Lord! These are our tight as tithers according to the Word of God. [b]In tithing, you are laying the foundation for financial success and abundance. You are establishing deposits with God that can be used when you need them. Don’t wait until your back is against the wall before you use your faith in this area. Build your faith first when things are going well. Learn to act on the Word now, and when Satan tries to pin you against the wall, you can smile and know that you have it made. His power over you financially has been stopped! When you stand on the covenant of God and exercise your rights as a tither, Satan has no chance against you. God will rebuke the devourer for your sake. If your back is against the wall financially now, don’t wait to begin tithing. You cannot afford to wait! [/b]The tithe belongs to God in the first place. “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me” (Malachi 3:8-9). This scripture says that a man who does not tithe is robbing God and is operating under a curse because of it. Start tithing now! If you don’t have any money, find something you do have and give it today. There is no faster or surer way to break that curse. Immediately when money comes into your hands, FIRST take God’s tithe out and present it to Him. “Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors], and with the first fruits of all your income, So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats be overflowing with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10, The Amplified Bible). Remember, the Word says that God gives us the power to get wealth and the blessing of the Lord makes rich. In tithing, God is giving you 90 percent and receiving for His work in the earth 10 percent to provide ministry for you. “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:11-12). You can’t out give God! He gives back His 10 percent to see to it that you are perfected, equipped and edified. This brings us to the question of where God’s tithes are to be placed? Some think only churches are to receive tithes. This would be true if their church is the source of their spiritual food and growth. The Word says to bring the tithes into the storehouse so that there would be MEAT in His house. A storehouse is where the food is. I know thousands of people attending churches of all denominations that receive no spiritual food whatsoever from their churches. How could that be a storehouse? Verse 14 of Deuteronomy 26 The Amplified Bible says, “I have not eaten of the tithe…or given any of it to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that You have commanded me.” I would not consider putting God’s tithe into a dead work. If you want to put money in a church that is dead—not ministering to people— then put your money into it, but it is important to put the tithe into a storehouse that is feeding the life of God to the people. Many churches and foundations serve as Satan’s reservoir to keep finances out of the revival that is in the earth today. To settle this question, since it is God’s money to start with and since Jesus is the One Who will handle and receive the tithe (see Hebrews 7: ![]() some church doctrines, but nevertheless, it is accurate. Brethren, Jesus is Lord over the finances of the Body of Christ! He is fair, and He is just in the distribution of God’s tithe. When a church sees to it that the people are fed, that church will receive its portion. When an evangelist sees to it that the people are fed, Jesus will minister to him his portion of God’s tithe. All the different ministries qualify to receive from Jesus more than enough to fulfill their particular calling when they feed God’s people. |

She just got admission into the high institution, so I ask her to go home to her parent to see how much they can raise. Before she left, in my exact word's I told her go to your parents and relatives to see how much you can gather, whatever you're able to raise from your parents come back to me I will make it up for you, don't go and sleep with any MAN in the name of I need money to go back to School. She agreed with me and traveled spent 3 weeks or there about, only for her to come back with no money, she sincerely told me that her parent has given only 2k, perhaps her bag is filled up with new set of cloths and shoes. So I was worried and started asking her how she got the money for all this new things that has purchased, she was unable to clearly state how she got them, so I further threatened her, on that note she started telling how she got the money, she futher stated that she met a married man that paid transport fare to and fro Benin the man promise to give her 50k to sleep with her she agreed and booked appointment the married man, the man slept with her throughout the night and left her in the guest house with 4k she explained with tears. and lots more. She is asking me to forgive her. I have already given her 40k before knowing this truth, what should I do? |

LAUGHTER Three tortoises, Mick, Andy and Roy ![]() They decided to go on a picnic, So Mick packs the picnic basket with some drinks and sandwiches. The truoble is the picnic site is ten miles away so it takes them ten days to get there, when they finally got there Mick unpacks the food and the drinks and says "OK Roy give me the bottle opener" "I didn't bring it" says Roy "I thought you packed it" Mick gets worried, so he turns to Andy and says " did you bring the opener?" Naturally Andy didn't bring it. So they're stuck ten miles away from home without the opener. Mick and Andy beged Roy to go for it. But he refuses as he says they will eat all the sandwiches before he gets back. After two hours and after they've sworn on their tortoise lives that they will not eat the sandwiches, he finally agrees. So Roy set of down the road at a steady pace, 20 days passed and he still isn't back and Mick and Andy are starving, but a promise is a promise another 5 days and he's still isn't back. but a promise is a promise. finally they couldn't take it any longer so they took out a sandwich each and just as as they are about to eat it Roy pops up from behind a rock and shouts: I KNEW IT, I'M NOT GOING. |
