Do I tithe into Servias Ministries? The Holy Spirit wants me to share this since there is someone who questions the motivation of the blogs written concerning finances and giving.
My answer is a resounding YES, absolutely. I continue to work “part-time” in the IT industry and generate income for my family. We tithe from this income, investments, and retirement income. I am grateful for FATHER’S great grace and mercy in my life and HE and I have a history of HIM blessing my family.
Over the years, HE has tested and trained me in the area of finances. HE has miraculously paid off houses and cars thus today we have no debt. It is all about obedience to both HIS written Word and HIS spoken Word.
Am I special to HIM? Yes, but you are too. HE Loves to see HIS Sons and Daughters trust IN HIM to do HIS Word in their lives.
Greed (love of money) is the root of all evil and it is tied closely to fear. People are fearful thus they live in a scarcity-oriented mindset. I choose to live in FATHER’S Mindset of abundance thus I expect blessing to come my way, and it does. As I said, FATHER and I have a history.
At this point, we tithe only into Servias Ministries as directed by The Holy Spirit. We pray over our tithe and trust FATHER for a harvest of good fruit. Right now, Servias is focused on giving to impoverished children for they are precious in HIS Sight. When you give into Servias Ministries, you are not supporting me or my family, you are helping the impoverished kids.
Servias does not have a payroll and never has. If FATHER determines to enlarge Servias, then we will hire necessary people. As for now, writing to you on a daily basis is what The Holy Spirit wants me to do. I do it out of Love and hope it ministers to you resulting in you moving toward greater maturity so that you walk in HIS power and authority.
I am thankful for those who have joined me in cheerful giving to help the less fortunate… FATHER is too. HE knows our hearts and looks forward to blessing us in return.
In Matthew chapter 25, Jesus spoke (after His end time discussion in chapter 24):
14 “Again, Heaven’s kingdom realm is like the wealthy man who went on a long journey and summoned all his trusted servants and assigned his financial management over to them. 15 Before he left on his journey, he entrusted a bag of five thousand gold coins to one of his servants, to another a bag of two thousand gold coins, and to the third a bag of one thousand gold coins, each according to his ability to manage.
16 “The one entrusted with five thousand gold coins immediately went out and traded with the money, and he doubled his investment. 17 In the same way, the one who was entrusted with two thousand gold coins traded with the sum and likewise doubled his investment. 18 But the one who had been entrusted with one thousand gold coins dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money.
19 “After much time had passed, the master returned to settle accounts with his servants. 20 The one who was entrusted with five thousand gold coins came and brought ten thousand, saying, ‘See, I have doubled your money.’
21 “Commending his servant, the master replied, ‘You have done well, and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant. Because you have been a faithful steward to manage a small sum, now I will put you in charge of much, much more. You will experience the delight of your master, who will say to you, “Come celebrate with me!”’
22 “Then the one who had been entrusted with two thousand gold coins came in and said, ‘See, my master, I have doubled what you have entrusted to me.’
23 “Commending his servant, the master replied, ‘You have done well, and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant. Because you were faithful to manage a small sum, now I will put you in charge of much, much more. You will experience the delight of your master, who will say to you, “Come celebrate with me!”’
24 “Then the one who had been entrusted with one thousand gold coins came to his master and said, ‘Look, sir. I know that you are a hard man to please and you’re a shrewd and ruthless businessman who grows rich on the backs of others. 25 I was afraid of you, so I went and hid your money and buried it in the ground. But here it is—take it, it’s yours.’
26 “Angered by what he heard, the master said to him, ‘You’re an untrustworthy and lazy servant! If you knew I was a shrewd and ruthless business man who always makes a profit, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? 27 Then I would have received it all back with interest when I returned. 28 But because you were unfaithful, I will take the one thousand gold coins and give them to the one who has ten thousand. 29 For the one who has will be given more, until he overflows with abundance. And the one with hardly anything, even what little he has will be taken from him.’
30 “Then the master said to his other servants, ‘Now, throw that good-for-nothing servant far away from me into the outer darkness, where there will be great misery and anguish!’”
Let us not be found in unbelief when He returns. The tithing question has been answered for the person or persons who have questioned my motivation in writing concerning giving.
