A BLESSING AND A CURSE The Lord promises you in Malachi 3:10 that He will “open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it ”. In the New Testament we read in Luke 6:38 ...that when you are obedient to The Word of God in your TITHES and OFFERINGS, then you should expect an abundance of blessings; “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again”. The Lord God Himself will bless you as you are obedient in word and in deed in bringing cheerfully your TITHES and OFFERINGS unto the LORD our God. Therefore, as you TITHE, the Almighty God promises to likewise bless you; on the other hand, if you do not, then you are ROBBING God. The end result is recorded in the Holy Writ, “Ye are cursed with a curse”. Malachi 3:8-11 states this: 8 “Will a man rob God ? ...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TITHES AND OFFERINGS There is, however, a difference between TITHES and OFFERINGS, not only in language but most especially in spirit. A TITHE means “ten percent of all benefits that come our way, such as, our salary, inheritance, gifts and even the interest one might earn on bank accounts, etc.” While OFFERINGS is over and above our ten percent TITHE. By this I mean, that once you have responded in the area of your TITHES, now you have the freedom to graciously give your MINCHAH (OFFERING) as you are directed and made aware of by The Spirit of God as to the particular need or needs, that are presented to you through your congregation, church, or fellowship. Please remember that both the TITHES and OFFERINGS need to be given in your congregation or church where you attend, “Bring ye all the TITHES into the storehouse”, and wait for God’s blessings. First Corinthians 9:14 says those who preach the Gospel should live from the Gospel "even so” as the priests of...

THE ORIGIN OF TITHING TITHING first appears in the Holy Bible in Genesis 14:20 in connection with Abraham and Melchizedek. Abraham, though not yet living under the Law, for the Law was given under Moses, paid tithes to Melchizedek, and was offered the very first communion of bread and wine. The Hebrew word for TITHES is  MAASER,  and for OFFERINGS, it is  MINCHAH. OFFERINGS first appear in the Scriptures in Genesis 4:4-5. The Lord gives us a wonderful example in the lives of Cain and Abel in the area of bringing their OFFERINGS unto the Lord. But we've seen that even though both children brought offerings unto the Lord, God had pleasure in Abel’s offering because it was done in the spirit of revelation. In Ephesians 5:10 we are told that, we should be at all times, "Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord”. We do need to know and understand what is required and pleasing to our Lord, and what is displeasing to Him, in order that we might think, say and do what is good, ac...

GOD MANIFESTED IN FLESH And thus, God fulfilled His plan of salvation, the fulfillment which is written in 1 Timothy 3:16 which states: “And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness, God was manifest in the flesh.” When did God manifest in flesh? It was when Jesus Christ was born through a woman; without any resulting sexual act but it was God Himself making both hemoglobin and egg cells in the womb of Mary, God Himself taking the form of a man. Jesus Christ was the FLESH of God, none other than God Himself creating a BODY of His own. That fleshly BODY was called the “SON”, while the SPIRIT indwelling that body was the “FATHER”. Not two Gods now, but God veiling Himself in FLESH. That’s the reason Jesus said “I and My Father are one.” (John 10:30). Philip, the apostle, one time said to Jesus (John 14:8-9), “Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.” And Jesus answered him saying, “ Have I been with you so long and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen...

THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IN THE CHURCH JESUS is that self-same Holy Spirit; as He has attested in  John 14:18 , saying, “ I will not leave you comfortless, “I“  (Personal Pronoun)  WILL COME TO YOU .” “ I will be with you, even IN YOU until the end of the world. ”  Galatians 4:6  states this, too, “A nd because ye are sons, God has sent forth the SPIRIT of His SON into your hearts, crying Abba, Father .”  FOREVERMORE!”  Who was that? That was the same God Who also said, “  I have power to lay my life down, and raise it up again ” ( John 10:18 ). Jesus’ own Spirit is now “God IN Us”, the “Hope of Glory”  ( Colossians 1:27 ) . It is the SELF-SAME GOD all the time, never changing His power, just changed His form from the heavenly to the earthly, and then back again as the Great Spirit, after having fulfilled His great redemptive story. He was “GOD ABOVE US” in His Fatherhood dispensation; “GOD WITH US” in His Sonship dispensation; and now...

THREE DISPENSATION OF THE ONE GOD “God ABOVE Us”  - that’s how God was known in the Old Testament, in the Fatherhood dispensation. God dwelling in the heavenlies, where no man could ever touch Him. When the the time for the Sonship dispensation came, fulfilling the prophesy of  Isaiah 9:6  which says, “ For to us a child is born, for to us a SON is given: the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty GOD, and everlasting FATHER, Prince of Peace ”, these all pertain to the FLESH of God JESUS, being God Himself becoming Emmanuel, which being interpreted “ God WITH us ” God Who can now be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. It was God also fulfilling  Isaiah 53:5 , “ But He (God) was WOUNDED for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him: and by His stripes we are healed ” - all fulfilled and completed at the Cross of Calvary. In these last da...
