Financial Blessings

Everytime during the initial part of a church services, pastor would always encourage all christians to do tithes and offerings or service offerings & etc. For me to give a service offering is not of a problem but tithes and offerings...hmmm.... I have not started on it yet as giving out 10% of my pay doesnt seem easy for me whom have other obligations and stuff to take care of and of coz being a rather worldly person, that amount still seem very significant in impacting my 'spending' power. But ever since I returned to church, this idea have been bugging me somehow...like..should I? or should I not?hmm....

So in order to convince myself to give tithes & offerings. I picked up a book among a stash in my sister's room and started reading and I have just finished reading the book titled "Money not enough?" by Rev Chia Kew San. The following is some important take home pointers or should I say BEAR IN MIND ALWAYS pointers:

God loves to bless people and we are blessed with every spiritual blessings that consist of good health, long life, soundness of mind, balanced emotions and a close relationship with Him. Everything that we need to live a life that is pleasing to God, He has already given to us.

We are blessed according to Christ's riches and God will meet, supply and fully satisfy all our needs. All our needs will be fully meet by God; He will give us more than enough so that we can be a blessing to many.

But why are many of us still worried over our finances?

It is because alot of us have submit ourselves to the Money God. The money god uses difficulties and hardships to make the Christian serve him and chase after him. The Christian spends all his time and energy trying to earn enough money to provide for him and his family instead of serving the Lord. Therefore, we need to bind the money god so that we can possess God's provisions. After binding the money god, some testimonials showed that God has bring them even more financial blessings.

When you are blessed financially, do not forget to tithe to your church. How you respond to God and others when are you blessed will determine your future blessings. You are blessed in order to be a blessing to others. When you bless others with what you have been blessed and you prove faithful with the little that you have, God will pour out much more into your lap.

I am using the above paragraph to remind me constantly so that I will tithe on my next pay day!Blessed all those whom have been tithing and may this post be a encouragement for those Christian friends that have not tithe =)
