Tithes and offerings Part 1

      Good afternoon, I thank God for all who have been reading my blogs. I want you to know that I love you and appreciate you, not because you read my blogs but because I just love you. I want you to know that your lives are valuable to God and you are more than conquers through Jesus Christ our Lord. Do Not let anyone tell you otherwise. God Bless you Greatly. There is much more to giving tithes and offerings to the Lord than meets the eye. Like having the proper attitudes for starters. Tithing and offerings is between each individual believer and our God. ALL THINGS belongs to him, comes from him, and are of him. We were created for his good pleasure, we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. The paying of our tithes and offerings to God is one of the areas that measures our level of faith and obedience to God and is a very legitimate indicator of our commitment and service to God.Unfaithfulness and disobedience when it comes to paying tithes and offerings on our part affects every area and aspect of our lives in a way that would be unfruitful for us. Some believers are of the mindset that when they give to the poor and needy, various charities, or even the giving of our time in our places of worship that it's a form of giving of our tithes and offerings to God. To make matters worse they actually believe it having a reprobate mind that when they re-appropriate their tithes and offerings to the poor and needy etc. That they are giving them to God. This kind of behavior and attitude comes from Pastors and other leaders who through false teachings Do not hold the truth in the doctrines of giving. These kinds of ministers fleeces the flock of Jesus Christ through seed faith offerings and turning the tithing and offering part of the service into an auction to meet church goals.They also use credit card machines and other demonic ways to collect finances from their congregations that does not have anything to do with the godly principles of giving. This causes the sheep of Jesus Christ to stumble in their faith by not faithfully paying their tihes and offerings or just not pay them altogether. When we give our tithes and offerings we are to do so in honor God, because he is God. God is more than deserving to be honored by us in all things and at all times. We are being taught to give our tithes and offerings to get God's stuff instead of giving to honor him and for who he IS. So let's stop fronting and perpetrating a fraud, robbing the Most holy One of ALL heaven and earth in the giving of our tithes and offerings. Let's honor him in our giving instead of giving to get his stuff. Step aside and let go and let GOD bless you. God Bless you greatly.

Being Defiled Part 2

  Kingdom Greetings, to you all in the name of Jesus Christ Our Saviour. During this blog, I will be explaining how both prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, recreational drugs and alcohol are factors which can lead to us being defiled.  These three classes of drugs that mentioned above in addition to alcohol impacts our mental awareness and our ability to make decisions. Whenever we consume any of these three classes of drugs or alcohol it opens up our minds to influences and communications from Satan and his demonic forces. How? It is Satan as well as his demonic forces that influence our thoughts, actions, words, and our decisions. These demonic influences leads us to commit the following sins that defiles us: Fornication Adultery Lying, stealing and robbing Murder Sexual Assault and date rape Violence of all sorts Sexual Misconduct Disobedience to the law (driving under the influence).    If we were to conduct a statistical analysis each...

Laws of Marriage(Guidelines)

  I would like to thank you all for reading my blogs. I also want you to know that I truly appreciate you all. Welcome back. I am going to put forth a list for us all to follow as it pertains to the mind of Christ and as it is written in the holy scriptures( GOD'S recorded word ) concerning the principles and teachings of the laws of marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. What God has joined together. Let not anyone ( this includes a husband or a wife) put asunder. A person can ( only divorce )their spouse for sexual misconduct( adultery or fornication etc. ). If a person divorces their spouse for sexual misconduct neither a  husband or a wife or the spouse they have   divorced or separated from is permitted by GOD to marry another person. Also God do not permitt for them to engage in another intimate relationship. If a person for reasons  of abuse of any kind or the lives of themselves or that of their children was in danger were to divorce or s...

Being Defiled Part 1

  Kingdom Greetings, Brothers and Sisters of our beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I appreciate you and love you all much and dearly in Christ Jesus. From this point going forward, I will be writing and posting my blogs every other week. The reason for this change is because I have begun writing my third book titled: The Laws Of Marriage. This would be a great opportunity for everyone to read and catch up on blogs that I have already written and posted that are of interest to them.   These next series of my blogs will be centered on being defiled. I will define the word defile, show how a person becomes defiled?, and what is being defiled in the eyes of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is? The book of Mark Chapter 7:15-23 will be the main passage of scripture for this lesson series.              Mark 7:15    "There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things wh...
