The Glorious Power of the Tithe 22: Tithing is a Talent Part 06 – Not Tithing Tends to Uselessness!

At the end of the parable of the talents, the man with the one talent who buried it had his talent taken off of him! Then the “unprofitable servant” has to be cast into “outer darkness”! The word unprofitable means useless. Not tithing will always lead you into being useless. I recently had to buyContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 22: Tithing is a Talent Part 06 – Not Tithing Tends to Uselessness!”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 21: Tithing is a Talent Part 04 – God is Not A Conman

I have had to deal with more than one situation as a pastor where someone in one of the churches I am responsible for has been cheated of money. A conman has come into their lives and persuaded them to invest and the whole thing has been a total sham, a fraud. On the widerContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 21: Tithing is a Talent Part 04 – God is Not A Conman”

Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 4(pm) – Faith

What an evening. Worship was again at another level, and what really blessed me was so many singers and instruments. I started praying for more musicians and singers in all of our churches, especially Dagenham. A flute would be awesome, drums, and so much more. The increase of sound will make worship easier and moreContinue reading “Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 4(pm) – Faith”

Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 3(pm) – the Sanctity of Life

Tonight, rather than the usual praise and worship, we saw a dramatisation of the overturning of Roe vs Wade. The issue of abortion is a very emotional and divisive one, but this dramatisation was clear, powerful and personal, showing us how an abortion does not just affect an unborn baby but the mother and theContinue reading “Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 3(pm) – the Sanctity of Life”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 20: Tithing is a Talent Part 03 – Tithe When You Have A Little

When the man who buried his talent was making excuses for himself, he said he was afraid he would not make much profit (Matthew 25.25). In other words, he was embarrassed at the size of his talent. He didn’t think it would make much difference. When you are in a church where the budget isContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 20: Tithing is a Talent Part 03 – Tithe When You Have A Little”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 19: Tithing is a Talent Part 02 – Don’t Be a Critic of Tithing!

I’ve now done 19 blog posts on the topic of tithing. I have done this for three reasons. 1. Tithing is a very important thing for Christians, I have been pastoring for many years and I have found that tithers are happy, sweeter, more prosperous, healthier and have a better walk with the Lord. IContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 19: Tithing is a Talent Part 02 – Don’t Be a Critic of Tithing!”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 18: Tithing is a Talent Part 01 – Don’t Be Scared of Tithing!

Every one of us has a number of talents, some of those talents are unique to us, some people can sing very well, I cannot. Some people can dance, I can’t. Some people can act, I cannot. I can preach, and I can set things in order, that’s my unique talents. But some talents areContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 18: Tithing is a Talent Part 01 – Don’t Be Scared of Tithing!”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 17: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 9 – They Don’t Understand Grace

Imagine two angels having a conversation at Sinai, as the Law of Moses is given to the Old Testament saints: Uriel: Wow, the people are now under the law. I wonder how much as a percentage of their income they will have to give? Obviously, the temple needs funding to ensure people have great worshipContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 17: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 9 – They Don’t Understand Grace”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 16: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 8 – They Don’t Care About Local Church

In Haggai’s day, the people were rebuilding after the desolation of Jerusalem. They were all spending their money on their houses, but not giving to the Lord’s house. They didn’t prosper because they did not care about the Lord’s temple. They don’t value it in their life. It is precisely the same today. People whoContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 16: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 8 – They Don’t Care About Local Church”

The Glorious Power of the Tithe 15: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 7 – They Have No Affection

Recently a pastor told me about an outpouring of the Spirit in their church, and everyone was worshipping and loving God and the presence of God was flowing, except one person who could not get involved in the flow. I guarantee that this one person was a non-tither! Affection is one of the most wonderfulContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 15: The Sorry State of Non-Tithers part 7 – They Have No Affection”
