Habitual, un-repented sin is a major block to your full maturity as a Son or Daughter to Our Heavenly Father. It is also a block to your healing. When you seek wisdom from Above, you have taken the first step to correct this roadblock to your training and preparation. My responsibility to you is to tell you like it is according to the revelation given to me, knowing that I don’t have all the revelation. But Our Heavenly Father knows my heart and knows that I will ultimately take the necessary action, speak the words needed for the time, and/or write the required blog to address issues among the brethren. Your responsibility is to Love me whether you have a witness to what I am writing or not. If you get offended then you need another dose of HIS Love. Are you “all in” or not?
If there is one topic that people really don’t want to be convicted of, it is their money. Over the years, I have seen families come apart over “potential” inheritance. When an elderly parent dies, the children typically want to know what their inheritance is… now. I have seen adult children comb through the parent’s house looking for cash stashed in books and other subtle places. Times like this quickly reveal the character of a person. Everyone wants a windfall of cash.
Are you robbing Our Heavenly Father in tithes and offerings? Is HIS storehouse full or empty? Do you care if it is empty? Does it upset you for me to even ask the question? Of course, I am not thrilled about writing a blog on what is probably the most sensitive topic among the brethren. The good news is that my family doesn’t rely on your tithes or offerings, HE has sufficiently provided for us. Those who do rely on contributions will typically stay away from this topic for fear of losing donors. At any rate, our hearts must be exposed to the subtleness of this sin. Until the topic of money is dealt with, we can’t expect to reach the fullness of maturity as a Son or Daughter. Paul was willing to deal with this topic in 2 Corinthians 9:
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
What is your fruit saying to you? Sparing or bountiful?
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
If you respond grudgingly to this writing then “forget it”, don’t write the check. Do us all a favor and keep your money. Our Heavenly Father doesn’t actually need the money anyway. The fact is, you need to get the revelation of giving. One who gives grudgingly doesn’t have the revelation of blessing from Above. That person doesn’t think that Our Heavenly Father will act on his or her behalf. That lack of revelation is a hindrance to the fullness. In this Scripture, Paul is revealing a revelation to those who have ears to hear. A cheerful giver is blessed by Our Heavenly Father:
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:
“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God
Servias Ministries now has an eight year track record as a storehouse for Our Heavenly Father. HE had me set this organization up for you, not me. We will continue receive HIS tithes and offerings and distribute as directed by HIM. HE is the One who supplies seed and bread, not us. We are simply one of HIS means for you to give and overcome the “love of money”.
