Pro 10:4-5 Labels: Enjection
He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the Diligent makes rich.
He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
As arise and build is ard the corner, it is impt for us to know where we place God in our heart so much so also in our giving and in the ways we give. Pst shared with us the importance of giving and tithing, and how it will benefits us and make us to continue to prosper. That is is to have the heaven open wide over us with showers of blessing. But lets look at the old testament on how the Israelites prepare to build God's house.
Exo 35:5
Take from among you an offering to the Lord, whoever is of a willing heat, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord; gold, silver and bronze;
Exo 35:21
Then everyone came whose hearts were stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord's offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.
Now it came to pass that the offerings by the Israelites is too overwhelming that they are commanded to stop giving. When God's house is filled, the presences and anointing of God was with them.
Next we look at King David when he rebuilds the temple of God in 2 Sam 6 - 7. David restores the ark of God and in the end God blesses him with riches and make a covenant with him in 2 Sam 7:16 to establish David's kingdom forever. next in 1 Kings 5-9 where King Solomon builds the grand temple of God, and God also prospers him. So we see two successful example.
Now we move to the new testament. Jesus commanded us to seek God's kingdom and righteousness and all things will be added unto you in Mt 5:33. It is a promise stated or clearly illustrates in the given example.
We now look at the new testament churches. In Acts 4:32-37, the apostles and disciples share their processions for mission and church planting. In Acts 5:12-16, you can see how God moves His anointing in the church. The rest of the new testament, the apostles also teaches the disciples t give offering for Church planting and mission, and everytime, the people who obey prospers and give even more.
