1. "The time has not yet come"
“Delayed obedience, is not obedience.” - Pastor Marvin Stanley
When IS the right time to be obedient?
If not immediately, when?
What are your motives when you do obey?
2. "Your wages disappear"
Where are you spending your time & energy?
Is it in a place that’s ACCUMULATING good things for you?
Sin takes 100%...God only asks for 10%.
Too busy not to pray and too broke NOT to tithe.
When we experience LACK in our lives...we should see it as an opportunity to return to GENUINE worship of God. 2:16-17
Why would God give you new and better things when you’re not taking care of the little things you have now?
“Give freely, and become more wealthy, be stingy and lose everything.” Prov. 11:24
Jesus said, ““If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.” Luke 16:10
3. "So the Lord sparked enthusiasm"
Can you really say that you are HIS PEOPLE without having a heart for His House?
John 13:35
We GET to give. We GET to have an amazing church where we can come and worship freely, vibrantly, passionately! Look for ways that you can care more deeply about God’s House. Ways you can serve that go beyond just finances. Because God’s not after your money...He’s after your heart.
