Some of the MOST
EMPOWERING VERSES IN THE BIBLE, which many of us CONVENIENTLY PREFER TO IGNORE
because they demand ACTION and SACRIFICE:
Malachi 3:10-12 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. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he
shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her
fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And all nations
shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of
hosts.
Chapter 3:9-19 of the
same Book says: Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of
all thine increase. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses
shall burst out with new wine.
What does Exodus 20:3 tell
us? "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
And Deuteronomy 5:7?
"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."
We only want to read
and quote (which is not bad) popular verses like Jeremiah 29:11, "For I
know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace,
and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
And the highly popular
second part of Heb 13:5, “……..for he hath said, I will not leave nor forsake you.” Yet we want to conveniently
forget part B of that verse, “Let your conversation be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have………”
KNOW THIS FOR FREE, SERVING AND GETTING GOD'S BLESSINGS COMES WITH T&C, yes Terms &Conditions.
Selective application
of Scripture will not get us anywhere. The Bible, the Word of God is to be
consumed WHOLESOME, not BUFFET STYLE where we choose what we want to eat and
skip what doesn’t please our palate.
You may declare 2017
to be the year of RESTORATION, OVERFLOW, REVIVAL, ABUNDANCE, etc., but until
you fulfill your part of the T&C, all is in vain!
1 Samuel 2:30 "Wherefore the LORD God of
Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should
walk before me forever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them
that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly
esteemed."
HONOR GOD and He shall
honor & bless you
