Financial blessings V

Malachi 3:10 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 of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].

The fourth step to financial blessings is to pay your tithes and giving offerings. If you don't pay tithes you are not being thankful to God. It's similar to paying taxes. When you fulfil your tax obligations, you are in a way acknowledging that the government is giving you services like security, education, porable water etc.

Only that there is a spirit of discontentment due to some evils done by some people  government but when you do the math, it takes a lot of money to build dams, ensure that the water that reaches your house is clean, get electricity, have security, build schools etc. And it is the taxes men give that those things are brought forth. If everyone was to get those services by themselves, they would pay a heavy price. 

But the LORD God cares and provides for us more than the government does. He gives us life, energy,  wisdom etc. If you don't acknowledge God as the giver then you are saying you can make it on your own. There's a wrong mentality men have nowadays that they are self made, are self willed, self determined and all the "self's" you can think of. They neither acknowledge God for their success nor do they honour him as God. They acknowledge all good things are in their souls but in the first place who put those good things in there? God. 

A fool says in his heart that there is no God. Fooling ourselves won't take us anywhere. Acknowledging God is the beginning of all wisdom. 

Child of God, always be grateful for the things you have, good health, houses, good education, good country etc by honouring Him through your paying of tithes and giving offerings.

Further scriptures 

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....

God first

Image
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God deserves our worship, love and time. Our lives need to be rotated around Him in all that we do.  The Bible says we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things shall follow. That scripture is contrary to popular thinking nowadays which advocates that people are masters of their destinies. Only the humble can try to live by it. That scripture does not say we should do other things and then seek God about them. On the other hand we should first go to Him for direction and then other things should follow.  That is why Sunday according to our numbering of days is called the first day and it is on such a day that we go worship God in the church. We are literally saying that, "Lord, you are our God and we are setting you first before all the busyness we shall be engaged in the rest of the week."  I remember growing ...
