Calvary Christian Center G-12 Administration – Life Notes Pastor: Brenda K. Goudeaux 02//16/2014 “Keys to Living in the Kingdom of God” “The Principle of the Kingdom on Giving” Philippians 3:1 Genesis 14:20 Genesis 28:20-22 Malachi 3:6-10 Psalm 116:12 • Many churches will not talk about finances because the people do not want to hear about it • The reason you need to know about God’s way of financing is because it is safety for you • Think about the enemies that God has delivered you from – Bless be to God for that • God blesses His people with peace that passes all understanding • The tenth you are required to give God is a small amount compared to all the benefits you receive from giving the tithe • Whatever level you are on, and you sow your financial seed – God will multiply that seed • You must make up your mind that you are going to be a tither • You must make a vow to God and keep it “You will give your tithe” • Be faithful and glad to give from what God has given you • This thing is bigger than what you can see – All you can see is your money going out • But God sees bigger things in you – He opens windows of opportunity for you • God has many things He wants to do for you – And you just don’t want to limit God from blessing you over ten percent • Just think about all that God has done for you – What could you actually give to God for what He has done for you • Tithing is not about the money – It is about your obedience and gratitude • When you tithe , you are conquering greed in your life – Greed will not have a place in your life because you are open to God • If you don’t tithe, you are keeping back from God – You are taking what God said is Holy and blessed • You are robbing God from blessing you the way He wants to • God ‘s blessing is bigger than any man or woman can give to you • God wants to bless you – By not tithing, you’re robbing Him of the ability to bless you more • Many people stumble over the money – But there is blessing, increase, and favor that comes with tithing • The principle of tithing remains the same no matter what amount you have • Think about the blessing of the Tither – You do your part and God will do His part • Tithing is spiritual warfare – However, there is a spiritual umbrella that covers you when you’re in obedience to God’s Word on tithing
