Now that you are tithing don’t forget you need to give offerings too!
In Malachi 3:8 we see that God says that we need to “Test” Him. This is the only place in the Bible where God gives you His permission to do just that. Maybe you are perplexed at this statement coming from God of Heaven and Earth and you maybe asking yourself “How do I test Him?” You would do that by firstly believing that He is going to bless you when you do what He says and secondly, you will be taking your finances putting God to the test that He will honor His Word to you who believe. You will find in this section of Scripture that it is not only tithing that he says you must do but also offerings and this word is plural since it has to do with more than one. We find in 1 Cor. that Paul is instructing the believers to give “Thanksgiving Offerings” and in Deut. we also find that there are another type of offering to give and that is Alms to the poor. In this weeks posting Dr.
Des is going to encourage you on the first one and next week he will deal with the second. So, let’s go and hear what he has to say this week . . . .
Tithing is under the Law we don’t do that anymore, really?
In this posting we are dealing with finances, namely how God provides for His work here on earth.
We will discover some facts about the “Tithe”, and get a better understanding of this word and it’s meaning. We will also discover its inception and how it applies to our lives today, even after thousands of years have passed. Dr. Des’ posting is going to show that as we follow the instructions in the Scriptures concerning giving, we will be blessed and motivated to do even more. Let’s go and hear what he has to say . . .
Giving God first place in your lives
Many of us wonder why it is necessary to give of our finances to the work of God. To the Church, para-church organizations, missions etc. Some of us even have a difficulty with going to church or watching a Christian TV program because “they are always asking for money!”
Dr. Des will tell you the reasons why you Moneygram fees should give and how to enjoy giving and being a blessing to others even outside the church. You will understand fully that it is not only the church that requires one to give but even the other religions require this practice.
Believe it or not but so do most governments around the world. So let’s go and see this weeks posting about being a generous giver.
No commentsYour life will tell the story
Since Dr. Des has been discovering one’s citizenship, he has come to discover many Biblical truths hidden in daily life. In this posting Dr. Des’ thoughts are going to orientate around characteristics which clearly “tell” which country a person is from. For instance, one’s accent; how one dresses; even the food one eats. These are “telling” signs. So it is in the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness.
The Bible will clearly lay it out for you as Dr. Des motivates you to be a better citizen of the Kingdom of God. Let’s hear what he has to say in this posting. . . .
No commentsFellowcitizens, what does that mean?
In this weeks posting Dr. Des is going to explain how becoming a citizen of the US is so applicable to the Biblical truths which state we are “no longer foreigners or aliens . . . ” (Eph. 2:19), but citizens of the Kingdom
of God. He will also explain the insights one gathers. from going through this process himself. That is changing from a foreinger to a legal citizen, now having all the rights and privileges citizens enjoy. This will help you understand that the process God uses for us to become citizens of His Kingdom is light years ahead of any earthly nation. And, the Rights & Priviledges one enjoys is all in the Manual He has provided us with, namely: The Bible.
