Dear Brothers & Sisters,
We Christians are blessed in such abundance, why would we ever want to "rob God" as Malachi said?

Priests With
An Inheritance?
Ephesians
1:11-23, 5:5
1. Eph 1:11-23 All inheritances do not concern TITHE or
OFFERINGS. They only concern the
obedience and walk in their position with God and man. Vs 18
where it states the “RICHES of the glory of HIS Inheritance in the saints.” NOTE:
Riches are NOT dollars, but positions in Heaven. To rule and reign on earth with Jesus i.e, be
a judge, teacher to younger ones (like the 53+ million aborted) I can’t image
all the jobs that will be available, but I do know we will not be idle. It also might be, if we live in an apartment
or house in a city or suburb? But most
of our inheritance, I would presume, will be based on our works here on
earth. I know, we cloth the bride of
Christ with our good works Rev 19:8. “And it
was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”

Church To
Become “Wealthy” Via Offerings?
Mark 10:20 -22, Luke 12:32-34, Matthew 6:19-21
1.
Mark 10:20-22 First, what is needed in Heaven has
nothing to do with what is need on earth.
Jesus was telling a young “rich” man, who was used to a high life, that
to follow Jesus his dependence had to be on God, not man, or he’d fall by
trying to serve 2 masters. When a man
changes what’s important, like helping the needy then he could take up a cross
and follow Jesus. Plus, his rewards in
heaven would be great.
2. Luke 12:32-34 Again, our needs in Heaven are different
than earth. Giving “Alms” is GIFTS to
the poor. I’ve always been taught that
when you help others, it’s like opening a savings account in Heaven. Gifts would be under Offerings and you receive 30-60 or 100 fold on your offerings. So
when I had a financial need, Luke 6:38 “Give,
and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down and shaken together
and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete, therewith it shall be measured to you again." God uses other men, because He does NOT
HAVE MONEY IN HEAVEN. Just a book of
Remembrance, to know your good works and reward you accordingly.
3. Matt 6:19 -21 Treasurers on earth are us being greedy. Robbers, moths and rust will destroy
them. Be more concerned with the
treasurers in Heaven for eternity you’ll receive. Final comment is “for where your treasure is,
there you heart will be also.” IF YOU
walk in the world – and have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, but are
not a “DOER” of the Word, you may just clean the pearly gate for your job in
eternity. But, IF YOU walk in the
obedience of the Word YOU WILL gain great rewards.

NOTE: I personally do not know of many local
churches that are rich. Do you? It costs to do the upkeep in a church, to
expand a church, to pay salaries to a pastor, music or youth pastor. Most churches are not rich. Those on TV may have more, but unless you’re
not going to a local church to tithe to, TV Evangelists should only get your
offerings, not tithes.
