TOPIC: Great Tithers In Contemporary History (Seeds Of Destiny 11 December 2022)
SCRIPTURE: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: One key to accessing, experiencing and maintaining open heavens is the practice of tithing.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
Open heaven is the covenant portion of the children of God. The heaven opened on Jesus Christ before He began His earthly Ministry (Luke 3:21).
Open heaven is the secret of profitable existence and impactful destiny.
Now, one key to accessing, experiencing and maintaining open heavens is the practice of tithing. (Malachi 3:8-11).
It is important to know that there were, and still are, great, wealthy and reputable business men in contemporary times who paid their tithe consistently.
One of them was Henry Parsons Crowell, the founder of Quaker Oats Company; he was a consistent tither.
D. L. Moody, a preacher, quoted Henry Parsons Crowell in his message thus, “I cannot be a preacher but I can be a good business man. O God, if you will let me make money, I will use it for Your Service.”
It is said that for over 40 years, he directed over 60 – 70% of his income toward God’s causes, having advanced beyond the initial ten per cent of his income as tithe.
Another tither in contemporary history was William Colgate.
He was the Owner of Colgate-Palmolive; he was brutally committed to tithing. He started giving God ten percent of his income; then, he grew and began to give twenty percent. He grew from giving 20% to 30%, and then to 40%.
Finally, after he had made enough money to live on for the rest of his life, every profit he got, 100% of it went to the Kingdom of God. So, the tithe is small compared to what real covenant people practise.
Remember this: One key to accessing, experiencing and maintaining open heavens is the practice of tithing.
ASSIGNMENTS:
