Holiness is ownership and FATHER has set apart and is purifying those of us who have accepted HIS Divine Intent to live according to the straight and narrow path called The Way. We have a free will to walk away from our calling, or fully embrace our purpose which was determined before we were formed in the womb. As for me and my house, we have submitted to FATHER’S ownership and are serving HIM. After all, Jesus paid the full price for you and me so why should I separate myself from the One Who first Loved me?
Our free will is either our greatest asset or our greatest liability. We are HIS workmanship. I am owned by MY FATHER thus my life is not my own. I am set apart for HIS work on this earth. I purpose to do nothing except what FATHER instructs me to do through HIS Holy Spirit.
Will you adhere to and believe The Word delivered to you? If so, your promotion is at hand. Use your tongue as a rudder for your life. Your words will guide you and bring forth manifestation. Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Our words reflect what is in our hearts. My tongue is meant to speak forth blessing thus anytime I speak words contrary to Agape Love, I am missing it! As I become more sensitive to walking in The Holy Spirit, I am being corrected rather quickly. It is better to keep my mouth shut than to speak words which evoke condemnation.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 11:
16 Since Abraham and the patriarchs are consecrated and set apart for God, so also will their descendants be set apart. If the roots of a tree are holy and set apart for God, so too will be the branches.
17 However, some of the branches have been pruned away. And you, who were once nothing more than a wild olive branch in the desert, God has grafted in—inserting you among the remaining branches as a joint partner to share in the wonderful richness of the cultivated olive stem. 18 So don’t be so arrogant as to believe that you are superior to the natural branches. There’s no reason to boast, for the new branches don’t support the root, but you owe your life to the root that supports you!
19 You might begin to think that some branches were pruned or broken off just to make room for you. 20 Yes, that’s true. They were removed because of their unbelief. But remember this: you are only attached by your faith. So don’t be presumptuous, but stand in awe and reverence. 21 Since God didn’t spare the natural branches that fell into unbelief, perhaps he won’t spare you either!
22 So fix your gaze on the simultaneous kindness and strict justice of God. How severely he treated those who fell into unbelief! Yet how tender and kind is his relationship with you. So keep on trusting in his kindness; otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Some have spoken ill against the nation of Israel and have made legal claims that the majority of the people are not included in the lineage of the twelve tribes. What does it matter? FATHER knows the absolute Truth and our focus should be directed toward blessing and being a light unto the whole world. Jesus is not moved by man’s research and claims. He paid the price for all of us no matter what our genealogy. I have submitted to the ownership of My Heavenly Father and trust HIM to sort out the details in all areas.
Abraham was a firstfruit and if the firstfruit is Holy, the lump is also Holy; and if the root is Holy, so are the branches. When your firstfruit is set apart and given to FATHER, it is deemed Holy. As a result, FATHER deems the rest to be Holy as well. As I give FATHER the firstfruit of my day, HE deems the rest of the day to be Holy as well. When I give the firstfruit of my income to HIM, HE deems the rest of my income to be Holy and blesses my family accordingly.
If we are truly owned by FATHER and trust HIM, we will cheerfully tithe our increase knowing that FATHER will bless us and provide for us. Abraham understood this “Law” and tithed to Melchizedek. This Spiritual Law has not changed but only those who understand FATHER’S Divine Intent behind this Truth can truly give in a cheerful manner.
The mind has difficulty in understanding how a small portion of Holiness can spread to the entire substance. People grossly underestimate FATHER’S ability to provide in a world where scarcity prevails. FATHER does not live in destitution and those who are HIS are meant to live in HIS full provision. The tithe is the physical expression denoting FATHER’S ownership. Our unbelief will hinder the provision resulting from the giving of the tithe. As Agape Love is revealed to each of us, the tithe is no longer an issue of debate. As I live a Holy life, Holiness will spread to my family and Loved ones. Abraham’s army was credited with Holiness so they were deemed clean and were able to pass through Jerusalem without hindrance. Abraham’s tithe covered them all.
Each of us ought to ask the question “Who owns me?”
As a reminder, never give out of pressure, condemnation, or fear of rejection. FATHER’S Love knows what each of us is dealing with. I present these Truths so that you can better understand Kingdom Economics and provision.
