Be inspired.
One day a local evangelist bragged
during a crusade that his God was
more able than all the other gods
in the town and the powers of the
universe that the villagers
worshiped put together. Just then,
rainstorm sounds started sounding
overhead, threatening the progress
of the crusade. The evangelist lifted
up his voice and declared with
confidence that if the rains fell,
then he wasn't a man of God; he
would stop preaching!
Before he could finish his bluff, the
rains began to hit the crusade
grounds so vehemently, apparently
in disregard to his declarations.
The whole town left the crusade
grounds to their houses, shaking
their heads in disappointment and
dismay.
The evangelist, so distraught and
angry, packed his belongings and
left the town the next day. On his
way through the next town, he
checked into a local drinking spot
and drank himself to stupor. As he
laid on the ground cursing God, an
old seedy looking man tapped him
gently on the shoulder.
"Man of God", the old man began.
But the evangelist quickly cut in,
"don't mention the name of God to
me. He is fake. He is unreliable. I
am no longer a believer in this
God. A God who chooses to
disgrace his servants. Leave me
alone!"
But the old man would not let him
be. He continued,"I am the fetish
priest in the village you just
preached at. During your one week
stay in that village, you destroyed
all the charms i had made on the
people for 45 years. Your prayers
and your words always came with
some fearful fire and power. I tried
so many times to eliminate you
but i couldn't. My last chance
came yesterday. I had loaded my
gun with gun powder lying wait on
the mountaintop where i had a very
clear view of you. My plan was to
shoot you from a distance since i
couldn't get close enough to you
due to the fire around you. But just
when i lifted the gun, the rains
came from nowhere, wetting my
gunpowder and covering you in a
cloud so that i couldn't even see
you. All i saw was a bright man
holding a sword in front of you. I
was so terrified. I concluded that
your God was indeed all powerful
and Almighty. That is why i've
been looking for you since then. I
want to follow this your God!"
The ex-evangelist bowed his head
in shame!
Dear friends, sometimes, it is just
wise for us to believe that our
Father knows the way He is taking
us. We should just trust His
leading. Let our boast be in the
Lord, not in ourselves. If we decree
a thing and it doesn't happen, let
us not see it as disappointment or
dishonor from the Father. Let us
just believe that the Father wants
his perfect will to be done in all
things.
Be inspired.
Have a great day!!!

Tithes and offering
Proverbs 11:24
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
Mark 12:41-44
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Proverbs 3:9
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
Malachi 3:8-10
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
Proverbs 3:9-10
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
Psalm 4:5
Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord.
Matthew 6:1-4
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Malachi 3:8-12
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
Acts 20:35
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Luke 16:10
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
Leviticus 27:30
“Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord.
Luke 21:1-4
Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15
We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints— and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
Genesis 14:20
And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

And many such things you do.”

I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
