PASSIONATE PURSUIT...HAVE YOU STORED UP?

MALACHI 4:8
WILL A MAN ROB GOD? YET YE HAVE ROBBED ME. BUT YE SAY, WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED THEE? IN THITHES AND OFFERING.
YE ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE: FOR YE HAVE ROBBED ME, EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION.
BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT IN MINE HOUSE, AND PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
AND I WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR YOUR SAKES, AND HE SHALL NOT DESTROY THE FRUITS OF THE GROUND; NEITHER SHALL YOUR VINE CAST HER FRUIT BEFORE THE TIME IN THE FIELD, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.
AND ALL THE NATIONS SHALL CALL YOU BLESSED: FOR YE SHALL BE A DELIGHTSOME LAND, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.
The Lord asks through the prophet Malachi if a man will rob God. Sometimes a friendly reminder is all that is needed to share that the work that we do is unto the Lord and not unto man. A word cam forth through Haggai stating the chastening of the Lord because the Lord’s house had been trampled and lie waste. It is needful to mention that a tithe and offering is not merely a monetary sowing into the house of God. The Lord has blessed and given an increase in our lives in several ways with gifts, and talents, and we must give it back to God. He shares in a parable that we ought not to bury our talents in the earth. It is a time to replenish the storehouse of God and get his house in order. Give what you have unto God and he will give the increase.
I CORINTHIANS 9:11
FOR IT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, THOUS SHALT NOT MUZZLE THE MOUTH OF THE OX THAT TREADETH THE CORN. DOTH GOD TAKE CARE FOR OXEN?
OR SAITH HE IT ALTOGETHER FOR OUR SAKES? FOR OUR SAKES, NO DOUBT, THIS IS WRITTEN: THAT HE THAT PLOWETH SHOULD PLOW IN HOPE; AND THAT HE THAT THRESHETH IN HOPE SHOULD BE PARTAKER OF HIS HOPE.
IF WE HAVE SOWN UNTO YOU SPIRITUAL THINGS, IS IT A GREAT THING IF WE SHALL REAP YOUR CARNAL THINGS? IF OTHERS BE PARTAKERS OF THIS POWER OVER YOU, ARE NOT WE RATHER? NEVERTHELESS, WE HAVE NOT USED THIS POWER; BUT SUFFER ALL THINGS LEST WE SHOULD HINDER THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
Warfare costs. Ministry has costs. The Lord states that he giveth seed to the sower. We rob him if we do not replenish his house faithfully and continually so that he can have a continual harvest unto himself. We must store naturally as well as spiritually. On your jobs, careers, or whatever work you do, others are partakers of this power. Meaning they get access because it’s your job. How much more then should the Lord Jesus receive at least a tenth in return for what he has poured into you to strengthen you to do the tasks at hand. Be faithful over a few things and the Lord will make you ruler over many. #GIVE #SOW #HARVEST #BUILD #GROW
