Tithing and Offering Part 4

    Welcome everyone. We are continuing with part 4 of the tithing and offering Series. So far God has established a precedent(ruling) in his word of what condition those things we present to him should be in. ALL Tithes and Offerings presented to him MUST be holy and without blemish(SIN). God is now going to expound for us in further terms of what the connection is between the word holy and tithes. As I explained in my last blog, a tithe is the tenth part(10%) of something given from a whole(100%). In Leviticus 27:32c God himself tells us that the tenth part (10%) is holy unto him. However, this precedent that was established by God in the book of Leviticus can be seen in Genesis 14:18-21. Being put into action first by the father of our FAITH, Abraham. Who gave a tenth part (10%) of ALL that he had to King Melchizedek the high priest of God. Whom by the way was a type of Christ in the old testament. The word holy as defined by Vine's dictionary of bible words. Means people, places, or things that God sets  apart for specific purposes for himself, his kingdom and for the work to be done therein. The word holy also defines the character and nature of a person. As well as those things being offered up to God as pure and clean (free from SIN). There is NO better example to define what God has outlined for us in Leviticus 27:32c, than that of our Lord Jesus Christ. As a sacrifice offered up for our SINS, he had NO Spot or blemish whatsoever. Being whole and complete(perfect). As the Son of man, his character and nature was pure religiously, morally, and ethically. To reiterate all that has been said for clarity. God tells us in his word( refer back to Leviticus 27:32c) That the tenth part(tithe or 10%) are to be set apart as holy for specific purposes commanded by him. For us of the church today those purposes are: 1. For the building and maintaining of the kingdom of God here on earth. 2. To further the gospel message of Jesus Christ and 3. For the building, growth, and maintainence of the church. Therefore, the condition of our tithes MUST meet God's standards for holiness in order to: 1. be accepted by him.  2. be used for the work in his kingdom here on earth.  3. Further the gospel message of Jesus Christ. 4. Build, grow and to maintain the church. And 5. Receive our blessings from God when he open the windows of heaven. Pouring out upon our lives blessings in such a way that there will not be room enough for us to recieve it all. Next week Part 5 of this series I will blog about tithes that are acceptable and unacceptable to GOD. I love you all and God bless you Greatly and Richly in all things in our Lord Jesus Christ.

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...

  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...
