TOPIC: GOD IS A GIVER 2
TEXT: Gen. 14:17-20, Malachai 3:9-12, Lev. 27:30
God wants us to be wealthy so that the world will borrow from us. We believers are to lend to many nations and not borrow. The secret of riches (receiving) is in giving. God is the highest giver, no one has ever given more than God (check the case of Jesus; his only beloved son).
Stewardship gives you a sense of confidence, that no matter how things are it does not shake you. God wants you to prosper.
In God's kingdom, Prosperity and wealth are part of your inheritance and birthright. Our access to these wealth and inheritance is through Grace (through the finished work of Jesus Christ). For a believer to live in and experience these wealth and prosperity can only be possible by faith.
(Heb 12:8) Real faith is not in principle but in practice of God's word, If you are a born again your are already prosperous, this prosperity was as a result of your accepting Christ as your lord and personal savior. Faith is bringing out of the spirit realm what is already yours.
Grace have given us all we need but working in the knowledge of faith makes it real or possible. There must be a positive response from you to what Grace have given to you which is faith.
HOW TO RECIEVE FROM GOD AS YOUR SOURCE (KINDS OF GIVING)
we respond to his Grace by faith. For any man to receive from God as his source, he need to understand kinds of giving. For you to prosper in life, there must be giving.
Kinds of giving:
1. TITHE: Christians are not meant to pay tithe but give tithe. Christ has paid all our debt, (Gen. 14:17-20) Paying of Tithe was in the old testament under the law of Moses. When you don't give tithe, you attract the devil into your wealth. Tithe began before Moses, Lev 27:30. Malachai 3:9-12, Under the old testament, God was using curse to make them pay tithe and if they fail there is a devorer who is the devil. Tithe is one tenth of your income. You don't give tithe out of fear, but you give tithe because you recognized that God is your source. In giving tithe you give above ten percent in appreciation of what God gave you. Under the new convenant, the command require you (2Cor 8 &9) to give as much as you are able see 2 Cor. 8:3.
Tithing system to God is recognizing him as the source of all your blessings, tithe is not paying, tithe is giving. God knows that for him to get the whole world, he has to send his only begotten son (tithe). Tithing is a platform where God lifts a man. tithing commits God as your source of supply. Heb. 7:1-7; Melchizedek was a priest in the time of Abraham, now Jesus Christ is our high priest. Tithing is a system God has designed for your continual blessing, you dont need to break it. Tithe is and act of faith. During the old we had priest that can die but in the new we have a priest that can not die who is Christ (Heb. 7:8-13), when the is a change of Priesthood, there is a change of law, in the old testament there was transition of law but in the new convenant our mediator and advocate is alive and will always be. In Christ we a success, it only requires us recognizing who we are in Christ (Heb. 7: 16-17). Giving is an act of faith (Psalm 58:19).
2ND SERVICE
TOPIC: ALL OF GOD'S PROMISES ARE FULFILLED IN CHRIST
SPEAKER: PASTOR EMMANUEL NKWOCHA
TEXT: 2Corinthians 1:18-20
The only key to unlock things is Christ Phil. 4:10, outside Christ there is no Key. 2 Corinthians 1:20 what ever God promised is stamped in Jesus.
Christ Jesus is the fulfillment of all of God's promises. Understand there are no more promises waiting to be fulfilled, this is the reality. Every promise of God from Genesis to Revelation has been fulfilled in Christ.
A promise is a word given to you; a word of courage, a word of hope etc. God have promise for everyone that through Abraham Everyone will be blessed. God was not dealing with Israel alone, God was dealing with all that believe in the seed of Abraham. The moment you declare Jesus as Lord and Savior, Everything that Jesus did will be credited to you (his "WILL"). The moment you come into Christ, every good thing in Christ is transferred to you because you have become a heir. God is good and God of everyone but not the father of everyone.
HOW DO I ACTIVATE THESE THING
(Rom. 8:16-17) Heir means a successor. Everything God has promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has been given through Christ. In Christ, the blessing is upon you. Blessing are not things; money, phone etc but money, phone etc are evidence of blessing. Blessing starts with your health. The blessing is already on you all you need is to activate it. God has given you all that you need all you need to do is to command them with your mouth. You don't need to pray for them, they are already there just Command it to come from. Because God commands and things came forth, as one that has his DNA; his heir, you have the same ability to command and it come to pass.A Christian/believer is a heir of God (Heir is an inheritor) and a joint heir with Christ. That means you own everything God own. The promises that were made to Abraham and his seed has become your present hour possession. Every Promise of God are now your present hour. You are not in these world by accident, God has a purpose; You are here to offer solution (1 Cor 4:7). Everything you are asking for is in your hand, to have them Speak them, declare them and it shall come to reality. When you are sick as a christian remember u are three in you, when this outside is sick, stand on the one inside and declare healing and you shall be healed. The promise of God to Abraham, you are living in them now. Christian should know that the money they have should be used for spiritual transaction into God's kingdom because it multiplies when you use it for spiritual transaction. Why some Christians use the money for spiritual transaction and don't get multiplication is their doubt. while you give, let your eyes be on Christ and you will receive multiplication because God is a multiplier.
The promises of God to Abraham are now your in heritage, what God expect from you is to enjoy a blessed life. God is not the father to everyone but father to those who believed He is their Lord and personal savior. If you fail today, you fail because you want to fail, all you need to succeed in the face of failure is to declare words of success. Those things others are praying for is already yours. When others are loosing, you will win. The best in Christ will locate you. Your content determines your container. Remain Blessed In Jesus Name. Amen.
