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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
