Principle Of Honor By Femi Monehin

Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Saturday 13th August 2016

“You must present one-tenth of the tithe received from the Israelites as a sacred offering to the Lord. This is the Lord’s sacred portion, and you must present it to Aaron the priest”
- Num.18:28

At one of our vigils, worship was really intense and beautiful, and I felt the Lord say that people owe Him tithe and He wanted to forgive them. I have never heard that before. We were taught that if you owe God tithe, you will pay back with twenty-five percent interest. Have you heard that before? But the Holy Spirit said He wants to wipe it off. Holy Spirit can mess up your theology. He is God and He reserves the right to do as He pleases.

Just like the Saturday Worship Experiences in God’s Favourite House. Take note that I am sharing a past experience; I am not giving a call for ‘tithe pardon’ because that is not what He is saying. So I gave the call and folks came forward. One man in particular, his business had been at rock bottom consistently. So we prayed and they left. God being God, that man’s business began to flourish and multiply. Amazing! I had never seen or heard of it before.

Then one day I was at a secluded place, just alone with God, on my face praying. And God showed me this man’s picture and immediately I knew he was defaulting in his tithe. The first thought that came to me was impossible! In all my years of Pastoring, I hardly ever talk to anybody about tithe. I just do not do it. If you like, tithe; if you like do not tithe. When you see the devourer, you will know what to do.

So I called the man and asked him what was going on with his tithe. And he began to tell me stories. Why have you forgotten where God took you from? He said he would have to carry the tithe in two ‘Ghana must go bags’, to show you how much God had blessed him, and he did not want to do that. At that time, P.O.S. machines were not yet available. So I said to him, write a cheque and he said, cheques have people’s names on it and he did not want anyone to know... So it is better not to pay your tithe? And I left him alone. I need not tell you what happened next. Is it necessary for people to rub their noses in the dust before they do what they know they should do? Just do the principles that you know, you will go from death to life, [say Amen].

Prayer: Lord, by Your grace, I will honor the Lord Almighty with His sacred portion [tithe] from every harvest, in Jesus Name.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
