Put God to the test and see what happens!


‘Bring the complete tithe…Test me in this.’
Malachi 3:10 

God is a meticulous planner. For example, He scheduled a dinner party known as ‘the marriage supper of the Lamb’ two thousand years in enhance (see Revelation 19:9). He advised Noah to construct the ark ‘450 toes long, seventy five toes wide, and forty five toes high’ (Genesis 6:15). He gave Moses the precise shades and fabric He desired used in setting up the tabernacle (see Exodus 26). And appear how exactly He orders the seasons and positions the stars. Can you think about such a God having no layout for your budget – the product of your work life?
 
Surely not! In Scripture He says: ‘Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse…Test me in this…see if I will not…open…heaven and pour out so a lot blessing…there will now not be room sufficient to keep it.’ The unique phrase for ‘whole’ is ‘unbroken’; that potential earlier than taxes and different deductions. Why? Because He wishes to be first in your existence in the whole lot – consisting of your finances. God additionally advised His people, ‘You have robbed Me…In tithes and offerings’ (Malachi 3:8 ). Stop and assume about the phrase ‘offer’. When you promote a residence you figure out whether or not or now not to take delivery of the ‘offer’ the customer is making. And in this Scripture God is saying, ‘Until you provide Me what’s rightfully mine (the tithe), why must I receive any different “offering”?’ Tithing isn’t simply about money; it’s about belief and obedience. When you tithe your income, you can count on God to pour out His blessing on you as He promised. You can stay underneath an open heaven; the desire is yours. 
God says, ‘Test me in this.’ Put God to the test and see what happens!

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called He equips the called. Let’s look at this throughout Scripture. If you've been in the church for more any amount of time, you've probably heard a lot of the “big names” in the Bible—people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Noah, Peter, Paul, Elijah—the guys who did big, amazing things for the Lord. Moses was there at the parting of the Red Sea. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son to obey God. Elijah fought against over 400 prophets of the idol Baal. Moses led God’s people out of slavery. And Paul was one of the greatest evangelists to ever walk the planet. But have you ever looked at the list of their failures? Despite their failures, God managed to use each of them in incredible ways! And the best part was, it wasn't them doing the work! It was Christ’s power in them! On our own we cannot accomplish anything. But Christ can do anything! Check out these  powerful verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9-1

God’s undeserved kindness to you

If we see our past, none of us deserve the salvation, out of his magnificent kindness he has saved us and He has hand picked us. ‘I will surely show you kindness.’ 2 Samuel 9:7 In Bible times, when a new king ascended to the throne, he commonly killed or banished each and every member of the historical king’s family. So, here’s the story. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David, whom Saul hated, have been shut friends. So close, they made a covenant to guard one every other with their lives. After Jonathan and Saul died in battle, Jonathan had one last son known as Mephibosheth. So, David had him delivered to the palace, saying, ‘I will sincerely exhibit you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will repair to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will constantly consume at my table.’ Mephibosheth used to be dwelling in Lo Debar, which skill ‘the land of nothing…the region of no bread’ (see two Samuel 9:4-5). That’s significant, due to the fact when y

The difference between Samson and Samuel

Everyone has a choice....to become Samson or Samuel!! ‘Time would fail me to tell of…Samson…and Samuel.’ Hebrews 11:32  Samson and Samuel are mentioned in the same Scripture, but there are big differences between them. You ask, ‘Why should I be interested?’ Because as a Christian, you are like them. Each had a miraculous birth, so they’re a picture of those who’ve been born again and called to serve God. Paul writes, ‘These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall’ 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 . Difference one: Finances. Samson was greedy and manipulating, whereas Samuel practised integrity. One day Samson bet thirty Philistine princes that they couldn’t solve his riddle, saying, ‘If you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing’ Judges 14:13. Quite a wardrobe, eh? Samson’s emphasis was ‘you shall give me’. He’s an example of
