TOPIC: WHERE IS THE STOREHOUSE OF GOD?
TEXT: MALACHI 3:8-10
SUNDAY JUNE 18TH
KEY VERSE: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20.
It is a settled matter that giving of tithes to God is a divine injunction that is binding on all children of God today and not so doing is tantamount to robbing God (Malachi 3:8). It had been in practice before the Law of Moses and did not cease with the abolition of the Law of Moses as first fruits which came up during the law and got abolished along with the law. The next issue, therefore is, “Where is the storehouse of God?”
From the above verse, it should be evident that the Store House of God is the house of God. The house of God is a place where two or three are gathered together in the name of the Lord for His worship (Matthew 18:20). It is a place where the truth about God and His righteous ways as contained in the Holy Scripture, is upheld and taught to mankind (1 Timothy 3:15). Summarily, it is where people go to seek the living God in faith and prayer for the purpose of receiving blessings, salvation, righteousness, gifts of the Holy and eternal life. In this gospel dispensation, the storehouse or the house of God consists of all Christian churches and ministries which operate in accordance with God's word, some are denominational and some are interdenominational.
Undoubtedly all the various ministries the Lord has raised are essential to the church and the world. Therefore, God desires all of them to be supported. The Great Commission is not the work of one denomination, ministry, or man of God, rather we are all to work together as a team to achieve it. Pray to God therefore to help you locate His storehouse appropriate for your service/tithes at all times. Let God use you and lead you to the appropriate place your money or tithes should be given. Don't be denominational in serving God with your resources.
Thought for the day: The church of God is one; no denomination in heaven.
Song for the day: O Lord I am very, very grateful for all you have done for me.
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 7-8; Acts 3 #Horemow.
