MAXIMIZING YOUR FINANCIAL POTENTIAL (PT 4)

Please remember to comment at the bottom of this
message after reading the blog today.

So … That Leads Us To The BIG QUESTION:

A.   WHAT’S THE POINT OF TITHING?

    1.      An ACT of Obedience to God and His Word

·      Abraham COMMENCED it – Gen. 14:18-20

·      Jacob CONTINUED it – Gen. 28:20-22

·      Moses CONFIRMED it – Lev. 27:30

·      Malachi COMMANDED it – Mal. 3:8-10

·      Jesus COMMENDED it – Mat. 23:23

·      God COMMISSIONED it – 1 Cor. 9:13-14

·      Paul CONFORMED it – 1 Cor. 16:2

By our Obedience with Tithing, we are acknowledging:

·      We Trust God . . .

·      I acknowledge that He is My Source

By Tithing, I acknowledge that GOD OWNS EVERYTHING

    2.      An ATTITUDE to Assist us in Keeping our Priority in the Proper Order

“Love of Money” is root of ALL Evil~1 Tim 6:10

MONEY is not the problem – it’s our ATTITUDE about money that causes all kinds of problems.

The wrong attitude about money produces the wrong priorities with money

    3.      ADVANCES the Kingdom of God Mal 3:10

GOD’s CHURCH WILL THRIVE, WHEN WE GIVE OUR TITHE

NOT ONLY does the Church Thrive but tithing is also…

    4.      An AVENUE for God to meet your needs  Matt 6:33

When we come to the end of our resources, God steps in with HIS resources

    5.      Teaches us NOT to be Selfish

Selfishness is opposed to the very Nature and Character of God ~ACTS 20:35

    6.      It’s a DNA Test  ~Jhn. 3:16

KEY word:  GAVE a word that is repeated over and over in the Bible

    7.      Attacks and Releases God’s Multiplied Blessing   Mal 3:10

“I RELEASE THIS MONEY FREELY AND GOD MULTIPLIES IT EXCEEDINGLY”

B.    HOW SHOULD I PRESENT MY TITHE?  ~2 Cor. 9:6-12

a)   CHEERFULLY

-        CHEERFULLY means hilarious or boisterously joyful

b)   FREELY (not grudgingly or under compulsion)

-        FREELY means purposefully choosing

-        GRUDGINGLY means reluctance or unwillingness

-        COMPULSION means unduly pressured, not of free choice

c)    WITH A SENSE OF JOY AND LOVE
