God, I worship you for preparing everything 49 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: I need in all seasons. I glorify your holy name 50 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: for your promises and provision over my life.

God must come first, and 55 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: you must give to him what belongs to him. While 56 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: all of what we own is his. He only requires 57 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: at tent of it be returned to his house. The 58 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: local church is where we bring our tithes. It is 59 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the house of the Lord in our midst, where we 60 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: worship God. We present ourselves and our tithes before God 61 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: as an offering. Your tithes are your opportunity to show 62 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: your love, devotion, and obedience to God. When you choose 63 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: to tithe, you are acknowledging God's supremacy in your life 64 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: and giving him the spiritual legal rights to rebuke the 65 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: devour from your life. When you tithe, you are putting 66 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: God first, obeying his word, and blessing God's house so 67 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: it can bless others. In short, you are sowing into 68 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: the kingdom of God and ensuring you will reap blessings 69 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: in your life. When you present your tithes to God, 70 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: he accepts you and blesses the work of your hands. 71 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: Perhaps you have been struggling with your tithes unaware of 72 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: this spiritual principle. Perhaps you have not been faithful to 73 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: God in your finances. Regardless of your circumstances, this is 74 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: your chance for change and improvement. Take this opportunity to 75 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: present yourself before the Lord, share your struggles with giving 76 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: the tithe back to him. Repent for taking what was 77 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: not yours. Confess your sins to God. Take a moment 78 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: now to dwell on previous blessings of abundance. You have 79 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: enjoyed blessings over past work, past opportunities, past harvests. Thank 80 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: God for the opportunities and blessings he poured out on you. 81 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: Thank God for showing you the door to unmeasurable blessing 82 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: and increase. Thank Him for providing an increase from which 83 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: you can give to His kingdom. Thank Him for allowing 84 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: you to partner with Him in his work here on earth. 85 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: God is present and he is listening to you. He 86 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: has declared a blessing awaits you when you tithe. Ask 87 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with gratitude for 88 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: God's blessings. Ask him to soften your heart towards the 89 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: Lord and his work that you would give freely and 90 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: bring your tithe into the storehouse. Ask the Holy Spirit 91 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: to empower you to carry out the commands of the 92 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: Lord to cheerfully give that which God requires. Remember, do 93 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: not rob God of the tenth that belongs to him 94 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: of your increase. God asks us to test him in this, 95 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: to see what kind of great blessings he will pour 96 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: down from heaven when we are faithful to bring him 97 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: our tithes. God has determined this as a gateway to 98 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: blessing for you. Allow His blessing to come upon you, 99 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: to overflow from your life into His kingdom. Choose this 100 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: day to enter into partnership with the Lord and to 101 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: experience all the blessings God has for you.
