How your tithes are spent

After the Fat Cats get paid, there's nothing left for the workers

 
The very first thing on Jesus' agenda was to get rid of poverty! Would you like to know why some people, including ministries, never get out of poverty? Jesse Duplantis, Faith/Prosperity PreacherIt's not because they aren't smart. It's not because they don't have windows of opportunity. It's because they're not anointed. If you're not anointed, poverty will follow you all the days of your life. His first objective was to get rid of poverty. Obviously, He considered poverty a worse problem than blind eyes.
 		 "The Spirit of God spoke to me and He said, 'Son, realize this. Now follow me in this and don't let your tradition trip you up.' He said, 'Think this way--a twice-born man whipped Satan in his own domain.' And I threw my Bible down...like that. I said, 'What?' Kenneth Copeland, Prosperity PreacherHe said, 'A born-again man defeated Satan, the firstborn of many brethren defeated him.' He said, 'You are the very image, the very copy of that one.' I said, 'Goodness, gracious sakes alive!' And I began to see what had gone on in there, and I said, 'Well now you don't mean, you couldn't dare mean, that I could have done the same thing?' He said, 'Oh yeah, if you'd had the knowledge of the Word of God that He did, you could've done the same thing, cause you're a reborn man too.'"
 

Seven Benefits to Faithful Giving
The Bible has more to say about giving than it does heaven, hell, prayer - even faith! Why is giving a recurrent theme in the Bible? Because God wants us to understand – and enjoy – the blessings that come to those who give with a cheerful heart. Here are just a few……

1. Faithful giving draws me closer to God.  “For where your treasure is, there you heart will be also.” Matt. 6:21 (NIV)

2. Faithful giving is the key to an abundant life.  “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way….they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” 1 Tim. 6:18-19 (NIV)

3. Faithful giving allows God a chance to prove that He exists and wants to bless me. "'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.'" Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

4. Faithful giving makes me more like God.  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son…”
John 3:16 (NIV)

5. Faithful giving blesses me in return. “He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)

6. Faithful giving makes me happy.  (Jesus) “There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.”Acts 20:35 (GN)

7. Faithful giving reminds me that everything was given to me by God.
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth…” Deut. 8:18 (NIV)

 Christ Fellowship Church

The 310 Tithe Challenge is based on Malachi 3:10 which says: Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

This is the only place in the Bible where God says to "TEST ME". We believe that God's promise is true, that He will open the floodgates of heaven and you will be blessed. Some may be blessed in your marriages, some of your businesses need a special blessing from God, some of you may experience an inner peace that is indescribable.

Now whenever God says "TEST ME" we are going to back it up. If you are not presently tithing, giving the first 10% of your income, and are willing to make the commitment, take the 310 Tithe Challenge, you are going to get a guarantee from Christ Fellowship. If after a 3-month period that you have given 10% of your income and you believe that God has not blessed you, you will have an opportunity to request a full refund of your tithes during that 3-month period.

Are you ready to take the challenge?

A little real estate transacting is good for the soul!

The institutional “church” is a model of church life spoken of in the NT, and (2) giving to it equals “giving to God.” 

The best way to find out is to order our church stewardship materials, risk free.  If my toolkit isn't everything you were expecting, and all the biblical tips and resources don't produce the results you were looking for, just ask for a prompt refund. No reason needed. No questions asked. That's my promise."

Ever find a church that didn't use tithing as its major fundraising tactic and endorse it as an absolute Biblical truth?

Isn't it interesting how we so carefully pick and choose what we bring forward from the Old Testament and what we leave behind?

 

Ever examine the Scriptures about tithing?

  • its origins

  • its purposes

  • the different kinds of tithes

  • what Jesus said about it

  • the number of times it is found in the New Testament

  • why contemporary churches only refer to one type of tithing

Who says tithing doesn't pay?
In the garden of life, we all have an unseen enemy, and when it
comes to the Stewardship of Life, that "unseen enemy" is the devil who wants you to stop planting seeds of faith in the garden of life. He wants you to grow the "weeds" instead of the abundant crop!

My discovery came about because God directed me to plant a rather large "seed" in the building fund drive that was going on in our church. Well, I planted that check and I was really quite scared to see all those zeros in that check but, God had provided an abundant crop, so I just sent some of it along to the building fund.

By the way, that check to the building fund? It was returned to me, within two years, pressed down and shaken together so as to make room for more (Luke 6:38). One thing that I believe God wants us to know, whatever measure we learn to plant with, will be the measure that is used to produce our abundant crop!
 

Tithing is a spiritual law given by God to humankind to assist people in finding abundance, fulfillment and gratitude in their everyday lives. The tithing law is to give 10 percent of one's increase back to God, with God being represented on the physical level by the source of one's spiritual teaching -- often a church, synagogue, mosque or spiritual teacher. When a person tithes, the universe that works under the spiritual law of tithing says, "If you have that much to give, that means you are open to receive more."

As humankind fulfills its part of the covenant by giving 10 percent to God, then God fulfills his part by continually blessing us. So, you may want to check it out with a joyful attitude of saying, "Lord, I am open to receive whatever it is that you bless me with." And then discover for yourself the blessing of fulfilling God's covenant.

Dear Friend,
Recently, a report came across my desk that showed that Hour of Power revenues suddenly dropped by $500,000 in the month of October, last year.
I was shocked…
…and decided to write you this letter, today, to encourage you, in terms as strong as I possibly can:
…PLEASE help us. We do NOT want to allow such a dramatic, ministry-life-threatening revenue drop to occur again this year in October of 2011.
Needless to say, $500,000 is a lot of money…and we need every penny we can muster at this time in our ministry’s history.
I’m so proud, and praise God every day, that we’ve been able to hold on to our televised ministry in this VERY difficult economic time…a time when we’re hearing daily news reports of companies going out of business.
It hasn’t been easy, but God is making it possible for us to keep televising His positive message—thanks to YOUR involvement and support.

You may help NOW with a gift of an size, or you may also call us TOLL FREE at 1-866-GET-HOPE (438-4673).
Based on last October, you can trust me when I say that I’ll be watching my mail and praising God for your positive help and response—without YOU our ministry would very quickly fall from the airwaves.

Thank you for your cherished, honored, and anticipated giving.
Gratefully yours,


Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman Senior Pastor
