"TITHING WITH GRATITUDE"


Why do we think that GOD punishes us because we did not pay our tithes? GOD loves us so much that while we were yet sinners, HE sent HIS only SON, JESUS CHRIST to die for our redemption! 


Here's the inspiration: whenever you pay your tithe, do it as an act of gratitude to your loving FATHER, not out of fear that if you do not pay your tithe HE will send the devourer to attack your life/family. The Bible says that GOD is our rock and there is no wickedness in HIM. So why do we think that a LOVING FATHER will attack HIS children with sickness or mishaps because they did not pay their tithe? We have been fed with how GOD is a consuming fire who is always looking for offenders to deal with mercilessly, but left out the part that tells us that HE loves us so much that HE gave, that HE redeems our lives from destruction and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies.


You give to those you love, right? That tells us that love goes hand in hand with giving. Isnt it right that you give just one tenth of your earnings to GOD to show your appreciation, not so that HE doesn't punish you? So why do we pay our tithes out of fear of GODS punishment? 


That's why a lot of people don't feel excited in their spirits and they do not see any result after tithing because they are not tithing out of their deepest appreciation, that our GOD deserves our thanks and gratitude for loving us with the everlasting love, instead they give (tithe) grudgingly so that GOD does not send the devourer to them! 


Listen friend, our GOD is merciful and kind, unfortunately we don't know this truth. We are always judgment conscious that we think that whenever we do not pay our tithes, GOD will rain down fire and brimstone on us. But the truth is, the moment we understand this mystery, GOD loves us so much and that it is only natural to give back to HIM (tithe) out of love and gratitude(we cannot out give GOD, HE owns the whole Universe), we will start receiving our rewards, overflow of joy in our hearts, GODS' blessings! 


Let us start living in the consciousness of GODS' love for us and start tithing with gratitude!

WORD FOR THE DAY

Waiting is painful. The pain is excruciating. Waiting makes you look stupid as though na only you waka come. But, keep feeding your faith during the painful season of waiting! Romans 10:17. Something I've learnt; seasons of waiting are not seasons of inactivity. A lot is going on! GOD is working; orchestrating events. Happy New Month. 😇

WORD FOR THE DAY

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility. Instead, it is helpful to try to understand why the person is behaving that way and address the situation calmly and respectfully.  If the behavior continues to be disrespectful or abusive, it may be necessary to set boundaries or seek help from a trusted authority figure or support system.

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SPACE!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
