  65. OK, that's fine. That's fine.

  66. I want that to say a word of prayer.

  67. King of Kings and the Lord of Laws, we buy before you throne

  68. this morning. We exalt your holiness and your

  69. authority. We acknowledge your supremacy in

  70. creation, and we acknowledge your finished work on the cross.

  71. We acknowledge the fact that we are in a dispensation where you

  72. are drawing men and women unto yourself.

  73. You pay the Father of God for the purpose of the advancement

  74. of the Kingdom. We are the Father.

  75. Your church shall be equipped that we, O God, that you have

  76. called unto yourself, We shall have the resources to God to

  77. propagate the gospel. That at the end the dungeon of

  78. the enemy, we shall be depopulated, and your Kingdom

  79. shall respond. We thank you, O God, let your

  80. will go forth in the power of it, and let the hero cheerful

  81. web be energized in their innermost manner.

  82. The hands of nobody will be the same, that this one of them

  83. shall be on fire. Their career of God, their

  84. professional God, anything they had fun to do shall receive an

  85. increase for the purpose of the Kingdom.

  86. The thank you in Jesus name, Amen.

  87. Shall we take our city? Hallelujah.

  88. We have changed platform for a purpose and I want to thank the

  89. leadership of the church for their privilege and opportunity

  90. to be part of this change. Standing.

  91. My gratitude to the earlier executives, apostle, and even to

  92. the leadership of this assembly for welcoming me to share this

  93. Word of God with you. We are talking about on a very

  94. important topic, ties and offering, and it's supposed to

  95. be a teaching. Our focus is on ties and I

  96. believe that everybody here it involve in giving ties and

  97. giving it faithfully. If you are not, we are praying

  98. that by the end before this session you have repented.

  99. Hallelujah, we stand there sound the church it match you on

  100. because the church need to advance.

  101. Hallelujah, the Kingdom of God must increase and the Kingdom of

  102. the enemy must decrease. And in our dispensation we

  103. cannot do anything without resources.

  104. Hallelujah. When I was a student, I always

  105. go to the village to evangelize. Walk across so many villages in

  106. the Shantel region and in the north and you see object

  107. poverty, Hallelujah. So if you go to evangelize and

  108. you don't have the resources, sometimes you can't even have

  109. make the kind of impact we have to make in the work of the Holy

  110. Spirit to make the impact. But the resources are very

  111. important. Our missionary is going over

  112. everywhere in the hin. Talent all over the world need

  113. resources, Hallelujah. And who are the people who

  114. provide those resources? It is we, Hallelujah.

  115. And so we need to understand that is why we pray every day

  116. that anybody who gives his or her life to Christ will be

  117. empowered to dominate however he or she find himself or herself.

  118. We are not be called to be poor. We are not be called to be at

  119. the bottom. We have been called to be at the

  120. head. Hallelujah.

  121. And so we are sharing this truth with you, hoping that the Holy

  122. Spirit will energize it and cut and transformation in our

  123. finances and quite a transformation in our businesses

  124. and quite a transformation in our career.

  125. Hallelujah. It is part of the tenants of the

  126. church. I hope by now we all know that

  127. our church has a covenant with God.

  128. And God said he's built a soft sustaining church.

  129. God is building a church that will not depend on funding from

  130. overseas. And God did it and God is doing

  131. it. Our founding Father started from

  132. another country, but now we see what is happening.

  133. God is blessing the church. And if God is blessing the

  134. church, I mean God is blessing the members of the church.

  135. Hallelujah. And so God must bless you for

  136. the church to be blessed. Until the covenant is that we

  137. will not depend on adults for funding.

  138. We will find ourselves all the resources and the money.

  139. The check need will come from you and me.

  140. And it is situated in Scripture. And that is what you want to

  141. study today. Please tell me I'm supposed to

  142. spend about 30 minutes talking and then 15 minutes to ask

  143. questions to keep the time for me.

  144. The 9th tenant of the church says that we believe in Titan

  145. and in giving of free will offerings towards the cost of

  146. carrying forward the work of the Kingdom of God.

  147. Everybody must remember this. We believe in Titan and in the

  148. giving of free will offerings toward the cost of carrying

  149. forward the work of the Kingdom of God.

  150. So there is a work to be done and that work requires resources

  151. and for the chair to get the resources the members of the

  152. church might provide. So that is our belief.

  153. So if you are in the Church of Pentacles, you must believe in

  154. this tenet so that when it come to giving, it shouldn't be too

  155. much of A bother for you. Hallelujah because it's been

  156. giving that we embrace. Hallelujah and as we study, we

  157. get to understand the focus today is Titan not just giving.

  158. I will try and give a differentiation between the two.

  159. So. After our tenant we can put down

  160. the scriptures we believe in Titan and the scriptures we have

  161. our Genesis chapter 1420 B. Genesis. 2820 to 22.

  162. Matthew 2323 The Maracas 3 one to 10.

  163. These are the scriptures supporting Titan.

  164. Hallelujah. Will be some of.

  165. Them we also believe in giving or free will offerings and that

  166. offerings is the big subject. But that is not what we want to

  167. dive into. Today.

  168. We are diving only into Titan and for the offering the

  169. scriptures we have by astronaut chapter 25 verse 1 to 8, Acts

    Acts 20:35

  170. chapter 20 verse 35, Acts chapter 4 verse 32 to 37,

    Acts 4:32–37

  171. Philippians 410 to 19. All these scriptures support

  172. offering. We have different kinds of

  173. offerings, but we are not going to that today.

  174. And the purpose of all this giving, the purpose of all this

  175. offering, the purpose of tithing is to support the work of God on

  176. this earth. And I keep on telling people

  177. that God has everything, Hallelujah.

  178. But there are some things that are generated below heaven, and

  179. those things God required that we will provide.

  180. Money is not produced in heaven. Money is a man made resource and

  181. so whenever God need money, he come to man for the money.

  182. Hallelujah. But he have a.

  183. Supernatural way of making the money available to you so you

  184. intend can give it to him. Are you here with me?

  185. Are you here with? Me So let's get this principle

  186. right. God does not produce money.

  187. And so some of you, when you are praying for money, you don't

  188. know some of these things, so you pray amiss.

  189. So get it that while you are praying, know that money is not

  190. generated from heaven. Heaven money is here.

  191. So use the necessary thing to claim or belong to you and let

  192. heaven back you. So never pray and expect that

  193. God will open the windows of heaven and pour that money on

  194. you. Hallelujah.

  195. OK. And then we say.

  196. We believe that God blesses A cheerful giver, and we can find

  197. this one in Acts chapter 20, verse 35. 1st.

    Acts 20:35

  198. Corinthians 16-1 to train. So I can continue.

  199. Tiers 91 to 9:00. So this is more or less a

  200. summary of the message we are sharing with you.

  201. We will go into detail. So this is the tenant of the

  202. Church of Pentacles. And I want to.

  203. Pick it again before I continue. I will pick it.

  204. With violent scriptures and then I will let you know the

  205. scriptures supporting each of the components in the tenant of

  206. the church. So we believe in Titan in the

  207. giving of free will offerings. Towards the.

  208. Cause of carrying forward the work of the Kingdom of God.

  209. We believe that. God blesses A cheerful giver.

  210. Amen. I will take it and then all of

  211. us will repeat it. So take it as I mean, we believe

  212. in Titan, in the giving of free will offence.

  213. Toward the cost. Of carrying forward.

  214. The work. Of the Kingdom of God.

  215. You also believe that? God blesses A cheerful giver.

  216. Hallelujah. Sometimes I have some choice of

  217. funny ways I can say that. Put this one in your coconut.

  218. Make sure that. This particular statement is

  219. embarked in your coconut. You know your coconut, OK?

  220. It's very important for every kicker to get this thing right.

  221. It opens door for. US.

  222. OK. Now we want to differentiate

  223. between tithes and other offerings.

  224. By definition, a tight is 1/10 or 10% of wise earnings or

  225. income. Everything that God blesses you

  226. with 10% which is the same match man 10th is for God and that's a

  227. tight got this principle right, OK.

  228. It is set us. Apart and given to God.

  229. And it goes to. The Church for the furtherance

  230. of the mission of God on earth. So when you give 110th of any

  231. income, any resources that come to you back to God, then you are

  232. tightened that you were here is 110th and I will explain that

  233. any other thing a part of 110th is not tightened.

  234. It's only become. Tight when it is 110th.

  235. So to you, you. May be given a tithe, but if I'm

  236. not giving a 110th, it's not a tithe.

  237. Because there are so many offerings in Scripture, it can

  238. be any of them. But if you think you are giving

  239. tithes, there should be 110th of your income.

  240. Don't get confused. I will give you a caveat as I go

  241. on. So mathematically it is a 10th.

  242. It's free. Genesis chapter 28, verse 22.

    Genesis 28:22

  243. It is 1/10. So take note of this and then

  244. strictly it is an obligation because of time.

  245. I'm not with you all unencrypted, I'm just quoting

  246. them for you. At the end of it.

  247. You have time to ask questions, but to read some of them along

  248. the line. It is an.

  249. Obligation it remains chapter 14 verse 22 and morally it is a

  250. divine depth. That is what Maraca treated

  251. veteran that is said that we are robbing God.

  252. You see, the principle is that we are Christians and we became

  253. Christians when we accepted the finished work of Christ on the

  254. cross. We became Christian when we

  255. bought into the redemptive strategy of God and by becoming

  256. Christians we are different from all people.

  257. We have become a people of God. You have become a property of

  258. God. You have become sons and

  259. daughters of God. You have become stewards of God.

  260. You have become partners of God in his mission.

  261. Hallelujah. And because of this change.

  262. Whenever God. Want to channel something into

  263. the Earth? He will channel.

  264. To us. So when God?

  265. Give to us the agreement is that give me 110 back.

  266. Does it make sense? This is the principle.

  267. We are different people from the world and once that

  268. transformation has taken place. The principle is that.

  269. I am going to bless you, I'm going to give you all the

  270. results you need to live on this earth, and that's the time that

  271. I will take you home. But whatever, I.

  272. Give to you. 110th is not yours. 110th is for God.

  273. That is the principle. So tithe is different from every

  274. offering. Sometimes we want.

  275. To say that it's it's compulsory by force.

  276. For. Every Christian.

  277. That is why God said that you are robbing him.

  278. The controls you are. Taking is not for you, it's for

  279. God and you are keeping it. That is why you.

  280. Will say that you are robbing me Hallelujah and that is the

  281. reason why God is doing this. All other.

  282. Offerings are free will, all other offerings you can decide

  283. to do a lot to do. But tithe is.

  284. The covenant between a Christian and God.

  285. Because God knows. That there is work to be done

  286. and that work need resources. So the minimum possible

  287. resources that he need to do his work.

  288. Tight. Hallelujah, are you getting me?

  289. That is the. Minimum possible resources that

  290. God will get. To use it.

  291. For his work on earth. And God will not descend and

  292. drop those resources. Use you and me.

  293. So God will bless you because you know that you have to bring

  294. your tights and you need the tights for the mission on earth.

  295. Hallelujah. So when God blesses you.

  296. And you keep. The one thief then you are

  297. robbing God. Either you are robbing.

  298. God by not giving at all. Or you are robbing.

  299. God by not giving you fully the one thief about communicating

  300. Hallelujah. So some of us will begin to

  301. reconsider ourselves regarding title.

  302. You see, we are unique people, Christians.

  303. We are unique, but sometimes we don't understand how unique

  304. especially we are. So we are able to articulate and

  305. attract. The thing that.

  306. God can do for us. And.

  307. So if you can't take anything here at all.

  308. Take this one thing. That you are special and God is

  309. going to provide for you so that you can also provide for His

  310. work. When you fail in that regard,

  311. then you are broken your means of being bred by God.

  312. God give you the. Resources not only for you to

  313. enjoy, but because you know that you give to support.

  314. So if you're not giving, you go and find somebody else.

  315. Who is faithful and. Give it to him.

  316. God. God's work.

  317. Might be done. OK, so we are.

  318. Saying that. That thing is.

  319. Differentiated from favorite offering or other offerings or

  320. giving but its specification. Specification is a.

  321. Technical word, those who did engineering, I have an

  322. engineering background, so those who did engineering, those who

  323. do procurement will buy things. We have specs.

  324. And. God have defined tithes in a

  325. special way but it make it different from all offerings.

  326. Let's open to Levitra chapter 27 and read the verse 30.

  327. Can we project it? For her, if it's possible,

  328. levitra chapter 27 the verse 30 attack of everything from the

  329. land, whether grain from soil or food from the tree, belong to

  330. God. It is holy to God.

  331. Hallelujah. Then he got.

  332. On to say other things. Whoever will redeem any of their

  333. tithe might add 1/5 of the value to it because the tithe doesn't

  334. belong to you. God says if you.

  335. Want to use it for anything? It's like you are borrowing from

  336. God, so. You should add.

  337. An interest. That's what he's saying.

  338. There the tithe is not yours, it's for God.

  339. But if for any reason you are tempted.

  340. To keep it. You get, then you have to go to

  341. God and give an interest. Hallelujah.

  342. Are you gonna find it so tight? It's unique.

  343. It's very unique. So take note.

  344. So an adherent to pay 10% is no house title.

  345. So when you are paying 10%, then you are title.

  346. If you are paying 10%, you are not title.

  347. If you are paying. 99% you are not yet tightened.

  348. You are giving any offering. Hallelujah.

  349. So in Pentacon we are taking tight.

  350. We are taking tight and offering.

  351. It doesn't mean that you are encouraging you to only to give

  352. an offering. I'm not communicating to some

  353. people here very well, so please don't feel guilty.

  354. The purpose of this study is not elected for guilty.

  355. But the purpose? Is to make you aware of what you

  356. are losing by not paying your tithe faithfully.

  357. That is the work of leadership. That all of.

  358. US can be prepared and petitioned.

  359. I call it. Strategic petition to receive

  360. blessings from God. Hallelujah.

  361. OK, so it's only when you are adhering to the 10%.

  362. Now you are paying Titan. Otherwise you are paying any

  363. other offering and God will still accept it.

  364. And by each of the offerings we won't have time to go into

  365. conditions. Each of the offerings serves

  366. purposes. Hallelujah.

  367. So if you pay any other offering, you will get a

  368. blessing that good that offering.

  369. They are not interchangeable. So see, Christianity is.

  370. Interesting. And God is a God of order.

  371. He has sent. Zealot Principle.

  372. In praise to guide us even in. Any country there are.

  373. Laws the same way in the. Kingdom of God.

  374. The Kingdom of heaven, there are laws so.

  375. When you become a. Christian, you must familiarize

  376. yourself with the laws, with their principles, and conduct

  377. your life as such. Then you can.

  378. Maximally develop. Provision God has made for

  379. children. Am I communicating so?

  380. One of them is. How we deal with Titan?

  381. So God will bless you. Based on how you offer, but if

  382. you want. To get the blessing.

  383. Of Titan then tit properly. Hallelujah.

  384. OK, so task is tight is. Like a task all of you have been

  385. going. To buy things, some of you maybe

  386. I might have done accounting and translation, all that all.

  387. Over the world, globally. Every citizen of every country

  388. is supposed to pay a tithe. Is supposed to pay a task.

  389. And there are different forms of task you have.

  390. The payee. Those who are salary in US, they

  391. take your task as source for the development of the country.

  392. For our common good, businesses are to pay us.

  393. Companies pay us. In some countries, if you don't

  394. pay that and they catch you, you are due.

  395. Hallelujah. So tights is like our task.

  396. Because we need that money. For the work of God that our

  397. countries need the tasks to put up all.

  398. The infrastructure. To open up all the hospitals, to

  399. construct all the roads, to construct all the schools, to

  400. provide social support to marginalized groups, and all

  401. that. It's the same way in the Kingdom

  402. of Heaven. We pay tithes so that God can

  403. have. Money to do what he wants to do,

  404. Hallelujah. And so if in the secular world,

  405. if you don't pay. Tax and they catch.

  406. You. They punish you.

  407. How much more? For us Christians, but for us

  408. God. Will not come and punish you,

  409. but you will not get what you should get.

  410. Hallelujah. And.

  411. Then you translate it. Into a case.

  412. For the benefit of. Tight you are not getting.

  413. OK. So please let it move.

  414. It is important to know that touching or paying of tight is

  415. used to show that camp does not belong to the to the payer.

  416. So I've said it already that the tithe does not belong to you.

  417. So as soon as you get any. Income, remember.

  418. That some part. Of it is not yours, go and give

  419. it to the one who gave it to you.

  420. Hallelujah. And I've said it.

  421. Already that is why in Malachi chapter 3 verse 8 God said we

    Malachi 3:8

  422. are robbing him so some would. Say that it's a.

  423. Death that you own God. As soon as you get any money.

  424. And you don't pay. You own God.

  425. It's a debt you're supposed to pay.

  426. So I would say that that is not. Just an offering.

  427. It is a debt unto God. And then because of the

  428. principles, I would say you can call it a special type of

  429. offering or giving those of you desires.

  430. Sometimes they give you bigger principles and then they'll come

  431. to some peculiar or specific principle.

  432. So when we talk about giving, it's applicable to tight all.

  433. The principles of giving. Or offering are applicable to

  434. tight, but not all the principles entitled are

  435. applicable to other givings about communicating.

  436. So all those things are applicable to tighten, but that

  437. is special, it's unique. It can be to.

  438. Its own characteristics and a child of God must understand

  439. this. When we were students, when even

  440. our parents give our money. Those days we play well until we

  441. calculate the one definitely will pay.

  442. So we calculate. Until we get to a point and then

  443. we got to know that even that one is the minimum.

  444. So I will tell people that I don't want to be legalistic with

  445. God I. Will come to that.

  446. You can't even pay more than that because the baseline, the

  447. reference is that God wants to make sure that it doesn't lack

  448. anything. So the agreement between God and

  449. us is that we give you 110th. But if?

  450. I give you more. God will not reject it.

  451. Hallelujah. So we are dealing with

  452. mathematics and because of the fact I struggling doing the

  453. calculation, the best is that I will give any God more than

  454. 110th. Because sometimes your.

  455. Income comes from different places when we were.

  456. Children if. My mother give me money, I can

  457. put it in the book. They give me 20 CDs, 110th.

  458. Of 23 CDs. I will put it down.

  459. I'll go and give it to God. When you grow and you get to a

  460. point your money may come from different places.

  461. Sometimes you can't even calculate them so.

  462. You notice that some. People now begin to give more

  463. than 110th to make sure that they don't go below 110th.

  464. Hallelujah. And it looks a bit something,

  465. but people have practiced it and they can give you testimony.

  466. We have practiced it and we can testify that our goal is good

  467. and faithful. Hallelujah, sometimes when you

  468. refresh over things that God take you away from, you will

  469. never understand some. People every day are.

  470. Sick and they are spending. Their money in the.

  471. Hospital, you come here, you are not sick and you take it for

  472. granted. People are running into.

  473. Accidents people are. Losing their resources.

  474. Less and retroverts means. You are somehow covered.

  475. And you are taking it for granted.

  476. Hallelujah. So these are spiritual

  477. principles that we must get right.

  478. So offerings are given. To show our appreciation to God

  479. for His faithfulness towards us and for other reasons.

  480. Bet on their gratifications sometimes.

  481. My language is a. Bit high, I'm trusting God that

  482. you follow me and understand so offering.

  483. Are given to. Show our appreciation to God for

  484. His faithfulness towards us because of.

  485. Time I cannot over. Elaborate and for other.

  486. Reason debate on. Their classifications OK.

  487. Offering are given at. At offers are given.

  488. At real, the word is real. Tithe is not given.

  489. At real tithe is mandatory, that is.

  490. Why when you don't? Give tithes that you are robbing

  491. gold. It is not given at real at any

  492. other offering. So whenever we are taking

  493. tithes, you say? Tighten offering so that you can

  494. add your offering to it. In the course of.

  495. Service, we can give any offering in the court of service

  496. that we put our boats here and they are there while things are

  497. going on. You can come and put drop in

  498. some offering, freeway offering it's not.

  499. Tight. It's a freeway.

  500. Offering Hallelujah, it's having on purpose in the Kingdom of

  501. God. We can do it anytime.

  502. That you want to give offering. You can do it.

  503. Hallelujah. But you only give your tithe.

  504. When God give you an income and. Then you are saying.

  505. That this one is 110th of it. I'm giving it to God and we.

  506. Are paying tithe because. One, we are children of God once

  507. you. Are a child of.

  508. God, you are supposed to pay tithe.

  509. So if you don't pay tithe. Then it means you are telling

  510. God that you are not a child. The bread of.

  511. The children. Belong to the children.

  512. Are you getting me? The bread of the children.

  513. Belong to who? The children.

  514. So if you are not. A child of God.

  515. Then we cannot claim the. Gifting and the promise.

  516. That are for children. So you pay time because.

  517. To a child of God. Are you here with me?

  518. We also pay time because we are the words of God.

  519. We pay time because we. Are out the words of God.

  520. God give us things for us to take care of for Him.

  521. For the work you are doing, God has.

  522. Given it to you for a purpose, that is why.

  523. When we meet. We give account of everything.

  524. God has given you talent. God have given you gifts.

  525. God have given you valid. Abilities God have given you.

  526. Skills God have given you knowledge.

  527. You are a tea world. God have given you children.

  528. Hallelujah. And because of all.

  529. This God said. That the resources I.

  530. Give you give me back a minimum of one term.

  531. So we are the words of God. We.

  532. Also pay tax because. We are citizens of heaven,

  533. Hallelujah. We are citizens of the Kingdom.

  534. And so if other citizens in other jurisdictions are paying

  535. tax, we are. Citizens of Heaven.

  536. We pay tax, Hallelujah. And so if.

  537. In the secular world, you don't pay your tax and they will come

  538. after you. Then in our Christian world, if

  539. you don't pay your tithe, they should come after you.

  540. Hallelujah. OK, so by paying tithe we affirm

  541. our dependence on God. Are the sole source.

  542. Of all. By paying by.

  543. Paying tithe we affirm our dependence on God are the.

  544. Sole source of all our provisions.

  545. Both financier and other resources are you.

  546. Confident so. When you are paying your tithe,

  547. you are. Telling God.

  548. That I agree that whatever I have, you are the one who can

  549. provide Hallelujah. So when on your breasts don't

  550. think that oh, Neemania de Pan the manesca.

  551. Well, Nina de who is the grace of God.

  552. And so whenever we are paying 110th of our resources, 110th of

  553. our income, then we are affirming, we are telling God

  554. that I agree that you. Are the only source.

  555. Of all. The breathes I have.

  556. And that I'm depending on you. You sang a song.

  557. You sang a song and. I was asserted by it.

  558. So you must always. Affirm to God So some time ago,

  559. when some of us were going through difficult times, we

  560. could go before God, He prostrate.

  561. And say Papa. Are you going to wait for

  562. anything to happen to me? I depend.

  563. On you, Hallelujah and the whole everybody around me know that I

  564. depend on you. So if I fail, you have fail, I

  565. can tell God that Hallelujah, I can go.

  566. To God and tell him that. Look at the things I'm going

  567. through. Unbelievers are prospering and

  568. if I'm going to serve you faithfully and go through

  569. distance and you look on. Those who are watching.

  570. Me knowing that your name is on me, we'll have.

  571. To say. Hallelujah, but God is able.

  572. To be. Further to us than our Heavenly

  573. Fathers. Hallelujah.

  574. And at the right time. He came true and He came.

  575. True in a very. Funny way.

  576. Hallelujah I I. Fought in my office.

  577. For over 15 years because people conspired that this man who will

  578. never make sure he doesn't get here and.

  579. It was a terrible. Fight and all these.

  580. Ones I was doing. The work of God.

  581. I was a roof leader. I was doing this.

  582. I was doing this and nobody know the troubles.

  583. I was going through the office. When God came in at.

  584. A point I started getting isolated promotion.

  585. We were fortunate. That I can never.

  586. Really become a principal officer before I retire I moved

  587. to became a manager and on I. Moved to become a.

  588. Director and I get a national award.

  589. And then when I. Became a director.

  590. My department in the whole company was Large Part 1.

  591. We moved from Large Part 1 to 2nd in performance.

  592. Hallelujah. And so at the end of it, he's

  593. full the mouth of all the people who are getting trouble.

  594. So you will. Never do it.

  595. Sometimes, because we are human, it will be difficult,

  596. Hallelujah. But when you are.

  597. Doing what you have. To do and follow the principle,

  598. you can go before God and talk to Him.

  599. You can argue to be with him because you are a child and by

  600. your action you have demonstrated and affirmed that

  601. you agree that he is your father.

  602. Hallelujah. So tell of God.

  603. I'm here. To challenge you.

  604. That don't allow that. Thing to be difficult.

  605. For you don't allow. To be difficult for you, I can't

  606. go. Through everything, it's a lot

  607. of materials, so. Now I want to.

  608. Jump a little bit. How am I performing on time my

  609. detective ministry? This is an introduction I've not

  610. started. OK, but for the sake.

  611. Of time I will now begin to skip.

  612. I have a principle. When I was a teacher I taught,

  613. face it, in West Riggers and before I was teacher I was doing

  614. my own food and I was teaching and I learned that some

  615. principle from my Canadian professors.

  616. A good introduction. It's good to understand.

  617. Any subject. So whenever I'm teaching any

  618. topic, I give a solid introduction.

  619. And then when your. Student get the interruption

  620. rights. The other thing?

  621. Is easier to embark. So when?

  622. I was teaching faith. I don't go to class, you solve

  623. questions. I go and solve questions in

  624. class. And because my children.

  625. Understand when I'm going wrong, they can raise their hand.

  626. It's a teacher, this place. They let us come and help you.

  627. Then you'll come and help me. Hallelujah.

  628. So I believe in a good introduction.

  629. So all that I've done is introduction and I.

  630. Believe that you have. Gotten it.

  631. I'm sorry. Even when I end here, you got

  632. it. Hallelujah.

  633. God bless you. So the benefit of.

  634. Tithing you all know Malachi. Chapter 3.

    Malachi 3 chapter mention

  635. Verse 10. Says that God will open the door

  636. and bless you if you tithe. Now what does God?

  637. Want us to do with Titan, which is already in the interruption

  638. in the talent of the church. So a Titan?

  639. Is given to make. Provision for the Lord

  640. stronghold maracas that are free again with eight to 10.

  641. So we give a tithe so that there will be things in the House of

  642. God, there will be resources in the House of God.

  643. People shouldn't come to the House of God and they can't get

  644. through to it in the same way it should.

  645. Happen that the. Church of God want to do

  646. something that they don't have money.

  647. Look at Pentecost conversion center.

  648. Look at the birth it. Is brought to the.

  649. Church, and even to our own country and to other people, it

  650. is resource. It's your tides that have.
