TOPIC: GOD'S GUIDANCE IN TITHES PAYMENT  

TEXT: GENESIS 28:20-22

KEY VERSE: PSALM 32:8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.

The text gives us an account of Jacob and the promise to give a tenth of all he possessed to God on successful and prosperous return from Haran. The question is where did he pay his tithes? It is not stated, but it was according to pattern laid down by Abraham and according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

The belief that tithes must be given to the church where one regularly worships God is a tradition and not a commandment of specification of the New Testament. As reasonably as this tradition seems, the believer must not be controlled by it, but by the Holy Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit should lead the believer to where to give the tithe of the Lord, according to His Will. 

The following should guide the believer on giving of tithes and material support for the work of the Lord; as you see the Lord Jesus as one Lord over the church, also see the true churches and ministries in the body of Christ as one, notwithstanding their different names and tittles;.

See that it is Jesus who has raised up the true churches and ministries to labor for Him in the  work of the gospel; see that it is the one Spirit of Christ that has anointed these ministers with power and given the spiritual gifts for effective service in the body of Christ.

Aim at the overall success of the church of Christ in the Great commission given by the Lord; see that you and your resources belong to the Lord; see that Jesus is the sole provider for all true churches and ministries.

See that you are but a custodian of His money and resources; seek His consent always where to pay your tithes; God can lead you to share your tithes among a number of churches, ministries or ministers; if you refuse to submit your resources to the will of God, the gospel of Christ will suffer

Thought for the day: Lay up your treasures in the House of God

Song for the day: My Lord knows the way through the wilderness……

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 33-36

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you want to be f
