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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
