  88. God bless you. Amen, do take your seat, hallelujah. Amen.

  89. Amen, Are you in church this morning? Christ in you the hope

  90. of glory. Amen. In the past two weeks, we've been learning things

  91. about success secrets, and I started a series on the secret of obeying God.

  92. We used Abraham as our you know, our main character, as our

  93. main character, and we've moved on from the fact that Abraham obeyed God and

  94. so because of that Abraham became very successful. The secret to success and prosperity

  95. is obedience to God's voice and God's word. Last week I spoke to you

  96. about the obedience the success secret of believing in God's word that if God has

  97. said it, if it is written in God's word, then surely it will

  98. come to pass. If you believe in it. And the Bible says that

  99. Abraham believed in God and it was counted to him for righteousness, And so

  100. believing God can bring you to great success. Amen. And I encourage you

  101. about the fact that it doesn't matter who your father is, where you are

  102. born, who your mother is, how life has not dealt well with you,

  103. how sad you have been since you were born, how unhappy you have

  104. been. If you choose to believe in God's word, then Christ in you

  105. the hope of glory. You will come to the place that God has appointed

  106. for you, and you will become what God has purposed for you to be.

  107. And those who thought you will amount to nothing when they see you,

  108. their response would be a this can only be God. Amen. And if

  109. you can only dare to choose to believe in God's word, that the outcome

  110. of your life can only be better. Amen. And that believing in God

  111. is a secret that can bring you, as a child of God, to

  112. a place of great success. Amen. Is there anyone here who wants to

  113. succeed in this life? You want to be very successful? Please look at

  114. your neighbor. Some people I don't know, maybe their father has put some

  115. one million dollars in our account for them, so they don't they're not really

  116. expressing. But ask your neighbor, are you looking forward to being successful in

  117. this life? Amen? What did they say? Everybody's id? Yes?

  118. Where are those who didn't say anything? The proud people? Where are they?

  119. If there's someone sitturned by who didn't say anything, give me away?

  120. Where are the photographers? Please take a picture of them. Let's put them

  121. on the screen. Amen. But we all want to be successful in this

  122. life, Amen. And success can come from three places. Self made success

  123. where you have accomplished success by yourself, where you don't owe anybody no gratitude.

  124. Amen. There is a success that comes from God, where God propels

  125. you to a place of great success, and where you owe everything and all

  126. your gratitude and thanks goes to God. And there is a success that Satan

  127. can give to you where it will cost you your soul. Amen. So

  128. you have a choice to choose where you want to be. Amen. But

  129. today I want to speak to you on another type of success that Satan has

  130. succeeded in deceiving people about, which is the secret of tithing. The secret

  131. of tithing when it comes to tithing. The word connotes tithing in the church

  132. is that you are paying sapping, you are paying for something, you are

  133. pain. There is the connotation of payment when it comes to tithing. Amen.

  134. But the biblical rendering of tithing is not to pay, but to offer.

  135. So tithing is an offering or a sacrifice that you're bringing to God.

  136. Amen. And it is one of the surest ways or the shorrest paths that

  137. leads to great success in the Kingdom of God. So today, as an

  138. introduction, I just want to introduce to the subject of tithing and the various

  139. benefits that you can accrue as far as your obedience to God and the blessings

  140. that can come your way by obeying this principle of tithing. Amen. In

  141. a church, quite often there's just a small percentage of people who obey this

  142. principle. In all life is based on principles in science. The third proponent

  143. of science is that for every action there is an opposite and ecoreaction. Where

  144. are my science students are they in church? For every action there is an

  145. opposite and eco reaction, all right? And so in life there are principles

  146. that can potentially end you up in great success in church. Only a few

  147. percentage of people believe in the principle of tithing. And it reflects also in

  148. the few percentage of people in church who are prospering and who are doing well.

  149. Amen. And so because God has set us on the path of righteousness

  150. that should end up in great success. We need to apply ourselves to everything

  151. that the Word of God instructs us to do. Amen. Let's take our

  152. foundation scripture Some twenty four Ust one to three, just to set down some

  153. basis for our discourse this morning. Palm twenty five Some twenty four twenty four

  154. verst. One to six. How many have we brought your bibles to change?

  155. Amen? It looks like they're struggling the Amen. The Bible says that

  156. the earth is the Lord's and all the fullness the world and those who dwell

  157. in is. Give us a different version, a different rendering, so that

  158. we says that the earth is the Lord's and every thing in it, the

  159. world and all who live in it. Amen. The world belongs to who

  160. talk to me? The world belongs to who? According to this scripture,

  161. who does the world belong to God? So let's set the basis. The

  162. world and everything in it belongs to God, including the human beings, including

  163. the gold, including the silver, including everything that has a name, it

  164. belongs to God. It has an owner. Is that not it? So

  165. the world and everything belongs to God. Why because it is God who founded

  166. it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. It is God who

  167. made it, so it belongs to him. Amen, Oh, can I

  168. hear an? Amen? Are you in church? Are you understanding the English

  169. I'm speaking. If you don't understand the English I'm speaking, say amen.

  170. He means everybody understands the English I'm speaking, And so let's follow because this

  171. would be a great blessing to you. So it is God who made everything.

  172. So even your life belongs to who. I didn't hear that it belongs

  173. to yourself. It belongs to God. So everything you will ever have in

  174. this life belongs to who belongs to God because God created everything, and everything

  175. belongs to him. So any and everything that you receive is from God to

  176. you. Amen. And the reason why we give a tithe or we offer

  177. a tithe to God primarily is to acknowledge God as our source, the giver

  178. and the sustainer of our lives and all things Amen. If someone gives you

  179. a token or a gift, your respec would be to say thank you.

  180. As a child of God. Everything you receive, your response to God will

  181. be to offer a tenth of it to Him as an acknowledgment for what He

  182. has given to you. Amen. How many of you came when you were

  183. born into this world. You came with a check of two million dollars to

  184. take off yourself to the day you die, or you came with a suitcase

  185. full of clothing, or you came with your house rent when you were born.

  186. You came with your schoofees. You're holding your schoolfees. I've come,

  187. I'll pay for my schoolfees till I leave this here. Nobody came with anything,

  188. and that is how God has made it because everything you need to succeed,

  189. everything you need to live, is already present here. That is why

  190. when we die, we don't go with anything. So it doesn't matter if

  191. they bury you in a range. Rover is not going anywhere, is remaining

  192. here on earth. Amen. So you come in empty and leave empty.

  193. So it means that everything that you come and receive or you are a particer

  194. of, is from God and it's a blessing that you receive from God.

  195. Amen. Amen. And so in the book of Genesis, chapter fourteen,

  196. verse twenty. Genesis chapter fourteen, verse twenty, Abraham offered a tithe to

  197. a high priest called Melchissedek. Abraham offered a tithe. And so the Bible

  198. says that, and blessed be God most High, who delivered your enemies into

  199. your hand. Then Abraham gave a tenth of everything. He gave a tenth

  200. as a tithe. So the definition of a tithe is a tenth of subas

  201. when you divide. If you have an apple and you divide it into ten

  202. equal parts, one tenth of it is a tithe that you offer to God.

  203. Amen. Yes. So for those who are not saying Amen, it

  204. means that they are not in the business of sharing. Amen. They're not

  205. in that everything is mine. But let's go on. You see why you

  206. need to offer a tithe onto God. Amen. And so Melchisedek was a

  207. priest of God, and he represented God and the people of God. And

  208. throughout Scripture you realize that everybody in Scripture who was successful the God kind of

  209. way offered a tenth of their substance. They offered a tithe onto God.

  210. Amen. And so in First Chronicles, chapter twenty nine, verse fourteen,

  211. the writer says, First Chronicles twenty nine, verse fourteen, But who am

  212. I and what are my people? That we should be able to offer to

  213. you? So willingly as this, For all things come from you, and

  214. you own on what end of your own you have giving to us? All

  215. things belong to God, and of God's own a chord, and by God's

  216. own will he has given them to us. Amen. So please tell your

  217. neighbor for free the thing you think you own, it doesn't belong to you.

  218. Please tell somebody else. Any and everything you will ever own in this

  219. life, it doesn't belong to you. It belongs to God, and it

  220. is God who gave it to you. Amen. So let's get this basis

  221. right. So, as a child of God, everything you'll ever get,

  222. everything you'll ever own, belongs to God, and so you need to acknowledge

  223. God for it. Let me give you six importance of why tithing is necessary

  224. for the believer. Number One, Tithing is important to acknowledge God as our

  225. source and our sustainer. Tithing is important to acknowledge God as our source and

  226. our sustainer. Amen. The reason why we need to honor God with our

  227. substance, and the reason why we need to acknowledge God as our source and

  228. as sustainer through tithing is that it helps us build character. It helps us

  229. build character. Now I've said a tithe is word one tenth of substance,

  230. right. So if you have ten cities, what is your type to God?

  231. We are the mathematicians. Everybody's doing mathematics these this right? Oh no,

  232. really, who is not doing mathematics here? You're not doing mathematics.

  233. You are rubbing yourself of brainpower. Amen. If you have ten cities,

  234. you're type to God is worth one city? Amen. Now listen, we've

  235. come to understand that everything belongs to God. Right. We know that God

  236. owns everything. Right, So it means they mean the ten cities you have,

  237. he belongs to God. God has yes, decided to give it to

  238. you, but a tenth of it is just to honor him. You are

  239. giving it to him to honor him. The reason for that is to build

  240. character, and character is built by habits. Amen. The habits you have

  241. is what will build up to become your character. So if you have the

  242. habit of obeying God and honoring God and acknowledging God as your source and your

  243. sustainer, it becomes your character. So, now when you start ending or

  244. getting a thousand cities, because you have the habit of giving God a tenth,

  245. giving God one hundred cities will not be anything. Do you understand.

  246. But when you don't build that discipline of offering a tenth to God, when

  247. you have tensities once, it is difficult to give to God. When you

  248. start getting one hundred cities, you say, intensities is a lot too.

  249. I can buy a time. When you start getting a thousand, eight hundred

  250. cities as offering as a tithe, Hey, do you know it's too difficult?

  251. Then when you start ending ten thousand cities, you see thousand cities as

  252. a tithe. Then when you start an in ten thousand, say hey,

  253. de sign one hundred thousand cities, say hey, ten thousand cities twenty zerus

  254. five zerus plus one? Hey, when is that any millions? They?

  255. I'll come to judge again. You disqualify yourself. Do you understand? So

  256. when you are faithful and little, you be faithful in match. Because the

  257. truth of the matter is that whatever you have. You are dividing into what

  258. tenny core paths, and you are giving God just one out of the ten.

  259. The nine is for you and your family to childre and enjoy. Now

  260. when God will ask you what you have done with it? But the one

  261. it belongs to God. But Satan would deceive you to think that, Charlie,

  262. when you give the one to God, den I, it won't be

  263. enough. That is why many people don't offer tithes to God. Amen.

  264. But I'm going to teach you why it's important to advertize to God because it

  265. is in our own interests as children of God to offer tides to God.

  266. Can I hear an amen? If you understand what I'm saying. Amen.

  267. So let's look at a few. But the first point is that we advertise

  268. to God to acknowledge God as a source and sustainer, and we use some

  269. twenty four of this one two, three, Amen. I know what time

  270. of you are thinking that? Oh, telling me I'm not working? Well?

  271. Are you talking about tithes? I'm teaching you this for your future if

  272. you start practicing it now. When you start any your millions, which I

  273. can see some millionnaires year, very soon they will be millionnaires. Yeah.

  274. Amen, it won't be a difficulty for you to over tithes to God.

  275. Amen, because it becomes the habits that builds in to character. Amen.

  276. Number two reason is that we give tithes in obedience to God's word. One

  277. of the things I told you about is that there is a secret to success,

  278. which is obedience to God's word. When you obey God's word, you

  279. are guaranteed success. And tithing is not an alien concept. It's a biblical

  280. concept. And because Abraham followed that concept and became successful, Isaac followed,

  281. Jacob followed, Joseph. People in the Word of God followed it and became

  282. successful. We are also following it, and our outcome will be that of

  283. success. Amen. And so, in obedience to God's word, we offer

  284. tithes to God. And so we are not doing it for the fun of

  285. it, but we are doing it in obedience to God's word. Amen.

  286. Number three, we give tithes to honor God. Problems Chapter three, vers

  287. Nine. We offer tithes to honor God. Amen. We offer tithes to

  288. honor God. And God says, honor the Lord. The Bible says another,

  289. Lord, with your substance and with the first fruit of your increase,

  290. so a tithe. When you receive one hundred cities as a gift, your

  291. first fruit is your tithe, which is ten percent. So you put it

  292. aside for God. Amen. You put it aside for God. You don't

  293. say when you there are some people they don't have plans until they get money.

  294. Are you one of them? They don't have plans Suddenly when they get

  295. hundred cities, now they have one million things they want to buy. Don't

  296. be like that. It will rob you of a blessing. Amen. So

  297. we offer tithes to God to honor God. Number three Malachi, Chapter three,

  298. vers. Eight to nine. We tithed to escape a case. We

  299. tithe to escape a case. The Bible says, well a man robed God.

  300. Yet you have robbed me. But you say in what have we robbed

  301. you? And God responds in tithes and in offering. Amen. So please

  302. look look at your neighbor seated by you. They are dressed nicely, but

  303. maybe they're an armed robber because they've been robbing God. Amen. Please ask

  304. your neighbor are you Are you an armed robber? Are you a robber of

  305. God? Have you been robbing God. Amen. So you can see somebody

  306. dressed nicely in a certain in a tie, Charlie, he's a bona fide

  307. robber of God. In the spirits there's a marcon. They said wanted.

  308. Most wanted is an armed robber. Amen. So we can rob God in

  309. tights and in offering. Let's look at the next verse, verse nine,

  310. and it has because of this you are cased with a case for you have

  311. robbed me. This is God speaking. It says, because you have robbed

  312. me in titan in offering, you are cased with a case. Even this

  313. whole nation. It can even case the whole nation because of tithes. So

  314. it's very important. Amen. Number five, we tie to support the work

  315. of God. Malachichter three West ten. Let's go to West ten. Bring

  316. all the tithes into the storehouse that they may be food in my house.

  317. There are people who are working in the House of God full time. Amen.

  318. There are things that are ongoing in the house that needs support. So

  319. you bring your tithes to support the work of God. Amen. Don't be

  320. that type of person who comes to check that action chapel. But you give

  321. your tithes at nsp it will not bring you a blessing. Amen. Where

  322. you are planted is where you offer your tithes. Amen. Oh you're not

  323. saying, amen, is that what you have been doing. You've not been

  324. doing that. So offer your tides where you are planted. Amen. And

  325. the number five, number six we give tides, or we offer tides for

  326. a blessing from the Lord. Bring all the ties into the storehouse, that

  327. they may be food in my house. And try me, God says,

  328. test me now in this says a lot of hosts. If I will not

  329. open for you a window the windows of heaven and pour you out such a

  330. blessing that there will be no room enough to receive guarantees and overflowing blessing.

  331. Amen. So for you to be that milonnaire, for you to be that

  332. blonnaire, you need to learn to tithe now. Amen. Yes, because

  333. I see milonnaires here. Not too long from now you'll come into that grace

  334. Amen. But I need to start typing tithing now so that you can come

  335. to that place. Amen. So now I want to also share with you

  336. six reasons why non tithers are poor, and why non tithers will remain poor,

  337. and why non tithers will struggle in life. They will leave paycheck to

  338. paycheck. They will struggle. Life will be tight for them. Six reasons.

  339. Number one, non tie they does become poor because they have nothing to

  340. harvest. Sosia, Chapter eight, verse seven. Non tigers become poor because

  341. they have nothing to harvest. They saw the wind and rip a well wind.

  342. Whatever they saw becomes wind, and they rip a well wind. The

  343. stalk has no bird, and they shall never produce meal. If it should

  344. produce, aliens will swallow it up. Non tigers become poor because they don't

  345. have a harvest. They have nothing to harvest. Number two, non tigers

  346. become poor because they do not attract the blessings of God into their lives.

  347. Malachi Chaster three, Wes ten. Non tith has become poor because they cannot

  348. attract the blessings of God into their lives. And so they are dry,

  349. and they are deficient of the blessings of the Lord. And the Bible says,

  350. the blessings of the Lord it makes rich and adds no sorrow. That's

  351. a biblical principle. That's a supernatural principle. The blessings of God makes rich

  352. and it adds no sorrow, So begin to tithe so that you can attract

  353. God's blessing. Amen. I think you should make it practical in your life

  354. in that anything you receive, divide it. Use a calculator, do calculation.

  355. Whatever I've received divided by ten gets the percentage ten percent. Put it

  356. down. When you come to change, offer to God. Because listen,

  357. God is not interested in the amount. God is interested in the principle.

  358. You obeying the principle, their obedience behind it is what guarantees a blessing.

  359. Amen. And the people who have succeeded in this life, who are still

  360. succeeding, who are still paying tithe, is not because of the amounts they

  361. give, but it's because of their obedience to the principle of God. When

  362. you obey God's principles, it attracts a blessing. Amen. I believe some

  363. of you didn't know Heaven has windows. Yes, many people don't know Heaven

  364. has windows, and the windows of Heaven they are only open to pour out

  365. a blessing and the lessons that afford. They are so massive that our vessels

  366. can contain. It becomes an overflowing blessing. That is when you also become

  367. a blessing. Amen. So you are not only receiving a blessing from God,

  368. but you become a blessing yourself to others. Can I get an amen?

  369. Are we going to start tithing or we are going to be a robbers

  370. who attract the case? Please ask your neighbor. Are you going to start

  371. tithing? Or you are going to rob God and be a robber and attract

  372. a case into your life? Amen? So build and develop the character of

  373. offering to God a tenth, because it becomes way easier when you start ending

  374. a lot, when you start receiving a lot, and you still offer a

  375. tenth to God. Because if you can offer ten percent of one hundred cities

  376. to God, which is tends it, can you offer ten percent of one

  377. million to God? You stop coming to change? You say ah, when

  378. you see that your past has dressed like you say, otally, is it's

  379. my money that the person is going to use to buy their shoe because in

  380. your little mind you think that your small money can do something good for somebody.

  381. Amen. But the earth belongs to God and the fullness they're off the

  382. world, and they that dwell they're in, Amen. And so purpose in

  383. your heart to test God with this, obeying this so that God can make

  384. you a great success in life. Can I hear an Amen? Amen?

  385. Non tithus become poor because they are cursed. Non tithus become poor because they

  386. are kissed. There's a case following them. There is nothing they do that

  387. they prosper. Josh Chapter one, verse eight. There is nothing they do

  388. that they prosper because they are not obedient to God's voice. They are not

  389. obedient to God's word, and so there's a case that is following them.

  390. When they join a company not too long, either they will fire them or

  391. the company will collapse. There is a mate of mine. We started a

  392. company and I have contacts, so I got him a contact. We got

  393. a big contact with a big telecom company, and he decided to swindle me.

  394. And when they pay himself, he doesn't let me know they paid him.

  395. And he's a non tighter. Guess what. The company that he was

  396. getting his daily bread from the company collapsed. So there is a case that

  397. follows you when you are non tier. And so Joshua needs in an admonition

  398. the Children of Israel, says that this book of the law shall not depart

  399. from thy mouth. But you shall meditate on it day and night, and

  400. you may observe to do according as it is written in it. The process

  401. of applying yourself to the word of God requires your obedience. And so by

  402. obeying God's word, you will do what is written in it, and what

  403. will we guarantee for. Then you will make your way prosperous and you will

  404. have good success. So if you see anyone whose ways are not prosperous and

  405. they are not having good it means there is a presence of what a case.

  406. Amen, there is what the presence of a case. And one way

  407. you can break the case is to be a tithe in Christian Amen. One

  408. way to break the case is to be one a tithing Christian Amen one number

  409. well on number four, Non tithus become poor because devirus constantly eats their wealth.

  410. Non Tithus become poor because devourus constantly eat their wealth. Malachi three eleven.

  411. Malachi three eleven. And this is God speaking. It says that because

  412. you obey my word and you offer tithes, and after I've poured you out

  413. a blessing that you can't contain. He says that I will rebuke the Divira

  414. for your sake, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,

  415. nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit in your field, says the

  416. Lord of FoST So for tithing, Christians, God rebukes the Diva for your

  417. sake. And then let me give you a practical example when I started working.

  418. When I finished school and I started working, I was diligent in paying

  419. my tithe. And I remember on several occasions we'll be doing a church project

  420. and they will say that, oh, we are raising funds on thousand dollars,

  421. five hundred dollars, and I'll get up and I'll go and I'll give

  422. thousand dollars those days. But I realized that as the money was coming and

  423. I stopped paying tithe, things began tightening up for me. So one of

  424. the ways I realized that a case was being introduced is that every month my

  425. car will go to the show. There will be a problem every month.

  426. So the mechanics every month they expects me. If they don't see me the

  427. no copy, oh massa, everything okay, And when they're coming or not

  428. too long, no, something will spoil and I'll go because I wasn't tithing

  429. So when I realized that I went to go, I said, oh,

  430. Father, forgive me. I started tithing again. Now I changed my mechanics.

  431. I said to me, I'm not coming here again when I blocked their

  432. number, and I realized that the frequency of going to the shop now was

  433. reduced because a divara had been introduced that was eating up my wealth. Do

  434. you understand? So when you tithe, what happens is that God protects what

  435. is left. When you give ten percent to God, God secures the ninety

  436. percent, So then you will have more than enough. You will even be

  437. a blessing to others, and there will still be some left. That is

  438. a secret that many people don't know. It is a secrets that leads to

  439. great success in the Kingdom of God. Amen. And so if you want

  440. to succeed as a child of God, then tithing is a principle you need

  441. to adopt. Amen. You need to be diligent, you need to form

  442. the character, You need to form the habit of tithing, so that anytime

  443. money comes to you or you receive substance, the first thing that should come

  444. to you is your acknowledgment of God that it is God who was giving this

  445. to me, and when you tied on it, God secures the rest.

  446. Then the divra doesn't have the ability or the power to spend or destroy what

  447. is left. Amen. So if you don't want a cas to follow you,

  448. then you need to tithe so that God would rebuke their divara for your

  449. sake. Can I hear an amen? Or Amen? I'm seeing something very

  450. fantastic in the atmosphere here. Oh yes, the glory of God is all

  451. over this place. Amen. And you see I'm not wearing my glasses.

  452. Usually when I'm wearing my glasses, I would do this and see if it's

  453. a folk I'm seeing or if my glasses. But I'm not, And the

  454. glory of God is all over this Can you say thank you Jesus for visiting

  455. us? Amen? Oh, clap for the Lord. He's here. Amen,

  456. he's doing something new. Amen. Amen, where's should help us?

  457. Help me on the keyboard, help me on the fiod. You know this

  458. on There is a sweet anointing in sanuary. There is a stealness in the

  459. atmosphere. Come on, lay down the burdens you have carried for in the

  460. sanctuary God. Do you see God is lifting burdens? Amen? And you

  461. will not live with a case because you are here today. Can I hear

  462. an amen? Amen? Number five, non tiders become poor because the fruits

  463. of their field are constantly destroyed. Imagine you are a tomato farmer and you

  464. plant tomatoes, and the moment you plant them, you go home. Then

  465. some rascals will come and approot everything you planted. And for you, you

  466. are expecting that, Oh, in a month's time you should see harvest.

  467. But you come and there is nothing. That is the lifestyle of non tithers.

  468. Amen, that's the lifestyle no non tithers. So the divara destroys their

  469. fruits. There is no fruits. They can have a tree, a mango

  470. tree in their house. The mango tree will be there twenty years. They

  471. won't behaving one. You see small, small mango fruits, like the piece

  472. piece ones that never become big. You wait, ah, when is this

  473. thing becoming so I can eat? You be there ten years, It's still

  474. the same thing. It's a case. It is the presence of a case.

  475. Amen. So when you tied, your fruits are secured. Amen.

  476. I gave you a testimony last week about the fact that I went to live

  477. in my uncle's house in spintext and there was an avocado tree that had been

  478. there for a long time. It had grown as tall as the house.

  479. But that tree had never borne fruits before. And I lived there for just

  480. twelve months. And on the seventh month of me living there, suddenly this

  481. avocado tree began to bear fruit. And he bought fruit for like one month

  482. continuously. The fruit were so nice, so green, so like. We

  483. became a vocado distributors in the neighborhood. Do you understand when you tied,

  484. there is the presence of a blessing in your life. Amen? We moved.

  485. I thought it was just by chance. I moved to another place at

  486. Quabinia. That house was it was a big plot of land. It had

  487. many fruits you had by. It had tomtos, they had worked tomato is

  488. the fruit right. It had mangoes, it had you name it. And

  489. I was there for about three years, and on the second year, suddenly

  490. everything decided to fruit. There were mangoes, and it's not a small the

  491. big mangos, the salo mangoes. They were fruiting constantly. We were making

  492. mango distributors. When we are coming to church, we have mangoes in our

  493. car. We distribute mangoes a men consistently over a period of time. Amen.

  494. We move to Westlands, Shepherd Emerald. This year we were there,

  495. there was a mango tree. Certainly the mango tree burst forth. It has

  496. been bringing mango fruits ever since plenty. So tithers guarantee a blessing from God

  497. that will cause your bands to overflow. Amen. Non tigers are poor because

  498. there is a case following them and a divara is introduced to eat their fruit.

  499. So before your mango comes, the divara has eating the fruit already,

  500. and they've left you the seed, and you plant the seed and when it's

  501. coming to eat it again consistently. Amen. But if you need to break

  502. that case in your life, then you need to learn to be a tighter

  503. Amen, or Christ in you. Amen. So the hope of glory will

  504. be the hope that you come to a place of great success. And one

  505. way you can achieve that is to practically tithe Amen, to show your obedience

  506. to God. Amen. Number six. Non tiders become poor because they lose

  507. their fruits before they get a chance to harvest it. They lose their fruits

  508. before they get a chance to havevest Malachi three eleven. And I'll rebuke the

  509. Divira for your sake. And you shall not destroy the fruit of your ground,

  510. neither shall your vine cast their fruit before that time in the field,

  511. said the Lord of Host. Amen. So if you want to have great

  512. success, then you need to apply yourself to the principle of tithing. Amen.

  513. Amen. And so when you see someone who has a case following them

  514. and there is no blessing in their life, the first thing you should know

  515. is that perhaps they don't tithe. They are not tie this. And tithing

  516. is a spiritual activity. It is not a religious activity. Amen. It

  517. is a spiritual activity. When it is a religious activity, you don't need

  518. to attach obedience. But when it is a spiritual activity, it's your obedience

  519. that will attract the blessing of God. Amen. And So the next time

  520. you receive a gift of something, there should be a portion in it that

  521. you give to God as a tithe. Amen. So someone will say,

  522. oh, but I receive their shoe, How can I give God ten percent

  523. of my shoe? Amen? How you can cut ten percent of your shoe

  524. is to find the selling value of your shoe. If your shoe goes two

  525. hundred cities, then calculate ten percent of it and give it to God as

  526. in time. Can I hear an Amen? I see God prospering you all,

  527. Amen, and making you all great men and women of God who are

  528. with substance. Amen. That you are not living paycheck to paycheck, or

  529. you are not struggling through life. But I see God helping you because you

  530. are going to apply yourself to this principle that can bring you great success in

  531. your life. Amen. And please remember there is no money you can give

  532. that God needs, because God is richer than any money you can ever have.

  533. To understand what we offer to God as a tithe is in response to

  534. obeying his word and to test him without obedience, so He pours us out

  535. a blessing. Amen. When I was growing up, if I can tell

  536. you that, though ill, my life will be this way, I'll probably

  537. be lying to you. But by following the principles laid out in the Word

  538. of God, my life is getting better every year. Amen. And if

  539. you are looking at me, now, look at me well, because stay

  540. my life will be way better than this Amen, and is biblical. It's

  541. spiritual. The parts of the righteous shines brighter and brighter and brighter. So

  542. once you apply yourself to it, your life will shine brighter and brighter and

  543. brighter. Amen. It doesn't matter if your parents are divorced. It doesn't

  544. matter if your parents and they have a good relationship. It doesn't matter what

  545. your name is, it doesn't matter where you were born, it doesn't matter

  546. how life has treated you bad. Amen. If you apply yourself to the

  547. principles laid out in God's Word, your life will come out better. The

  548. outcome of your life will be better that you are seeing. Amen. If

  549. I had told you when I was maybe your age that when I grow I'll

  550. have a nice family, I have children, I'll live in a nice place,

  551. and I'll be lying to you, because then there was no evidence of

  552. that ever happening. But when you stay through to God's word, you obey

  553. the principles laid out in God's Word, your life will be better. Amen.

  554. Please left your right own to God and say, my life will be

  555. better because I have knowledge. My life will be better because I'm receiving wisdom

  556. from God. My life will be better because I am obeying God's word.

  557. Amen. So as declared socially be for you Jesus precious name. Amen.

  558. So in conclusion, we should not be surprised when non tiders become poorer by

  559. keeping a tenth of their income away from God. What can we do without

  560. God's help? Is there anything we can do without God's help? No?

  561. How far can we go without God's help? We can't go that far.

  562. It is time to begin tithing so that profits will come our way and that

  563. God will cause us to succeed. Amen. Please on your feet with me

  564. briefly. Amen. And if you have received God's wording to your heart,

  565. then your prayer this morning should be the Lord, help me to be a

  566. tither, Help me to be someone who acknowledges You for everything I receive,

  567. so that I can come to the place of great substance, because you'll pour

  568. me out a blessing. Amen. Just close your eyes for a moment and

  569. just say that prayer to the Lord. Help us, Lord, help us.

  570. Lord, Thank you for this wisdom, Jesus. Thank you Lord for

  571. this wisdom. Thank you Lord for this help. Thank you Lord Jesus,

  572. that you are helping us, that you are making us practical. Tithus who

  573. offer our tithes as a sacrifice, and as an offering to you, pray

  574. in the name of Jesus the Lord you help us so that we don't walk

  575. about to the kiss. And she's HER's precious name. A man
