Why Not Be Faithful

Why not be faithful

Luke 6:37-38
Malachi 3:6-12

Thanks be to God that he is consistent & faithful. Unlike man. However, God is saying be like him. Sometimes sacrifice is the time when we as humans can be the most inconsistent. Tithe!!! 10% 

If u do this u WILL be blessed exceedingly & he will stop the devil from taking the things that belong to u. Malachi 3:11

Not only will the Lord pour out onto you so will men. Things will happen & doors will open if u only do what the Lord asks u to do. Luke 6:37-38

So if all these blessings will manifest upon u, why not tithe? Why not be faithful? 

Why church ppl don't tithe:
1) they're not saved. They may attend church but they are living unto their own wills. Saved=committed ur life to the Lord & constantly asking urself wwjd (what would Jesus do). 

2) Not totally committed. Worldly minded. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 We do what we do even tho we know the bible speaks against it. Your life is compartmentalized, church life vs ur real life & the Lord is not incorporated into every part of ur life. A religion instead of a relationship.

3) Believing tithing is not for today. Old testament. However, the new testament says sell EVERYTHING 100% & receive ur blessings in heaven. 

4) Don't agree with the leadership of the church.

5) NOT MANAGING MONEY WELL. Debt. Understand the power of a budget. 

6) People ate ruled by fear. But the tougher times get the more u can't afford to NOT tithe. 

7) Ignorance. Simply don't know. Galations 6:9 2 Corinthians 5:7

I'm going after it!

Philippians 3:13-15
 
Anything worth having is worth fighting for. Go HARD after God! Concentrate on going after everything that God said u can have. Have faith! Use your faith to acquire what God has for you. Can't be lazy! Proverbs 24:10 Do not fail in the day of adversity. Stay strong! If your not growing in maturity you can't help someone else move to the next level. Establish order in your life & be courageous. Galatians 4:16 you need someone that will keep u on your toes & motivated, telling u the truth.  KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS HIGH! Think & talk positive. Stay around positive encouraging people. 

Put Your Foot On It

Put your foot on it
Pastor Marvin Sapp
Deuteronomy 11: 22-25
2Corinthians 1:20

The foundation of our relationship with God is based on a promise. All the promises made to us shall be fulfilled. Because of who he is, he is obligated to bring it to pass. Bound by his word. When God gives u something, u may not earn it or deserve it but you possess it b/c it is what God has for you. A possession is something that is entrusted, u must go after it at times to acquire it. You have to make the first step. But you can't stay where u are and get everything he promised. It's one thing for him to make u a promise but sometimes you have to get up (spiritually) & go after it. TAKE ACTION! There are some things that he has for you & at some point u should be tired of not living up to ur potential & want to get up & go after it. Don't be a punk in the spirit, don't be a sucker! Get up & go for it!! At times I must "SAY IT BEFORE U SEE IT". What he says is slot more real than what u see. Learn how to call those things to be not as they were. Timing is everything. 
Follow these instructions will release what u desire: 

1. Remember what u came through so that you can appreciate what you have & where you are.

2. Resolve. Keep the commandments. 

3. Go in & possess the land. Your disobedience a lot of times is what keeps you from everything that you desire. 

4. Let nothing turn us aside. Remain focused. Refuse to back up!

5. Receive. You can have it "sweat-less-ly" if u follow these things. 

"God gives YOU things for HIS glory. For u to use as a witnessing tool. You get the job, but u won't pay your tithes. You get a car, but u won't come to church. You got a house, but u won't have people over. "

God u made u a promise & you can have whatever u want if you obey his word.
