13. 0:31the covenant practice
14. 0:34of giving that is sowing
15. 0:37and receiving
16. 0:38that is reaping
17. 0:40to understand it
18. 0:43and by way of introduction
19. 0:45three things
20. 0:47would like to say
21. 0:48one
22. 0:50giving and receiving
23. 0:53is an
24. 0:54unbreakable law of god
25. 0:58we saw that in genesis 8 20 22
26. 1:04while the air tremendously time and
27. 1:05harvest shall not see now we are going
28. 1:08to look at luke
29. 1:10chapter 6 verse 38
30. 1:14give and it shall be given unto you
31. 1:19good measure
32. 1:21pressed down
33. 1:22shaking together
34. 1:24running over shall men give
35. 1:28into your bosom
36. 1:31give and it shall be given
37. 1:33it is an unbreakable law
38. 1:37it can't be broken
39. 1:39to give
40. 1:40is to receive
41. 1:42number two
42. 1:43we have discovered that receiving
43. 1:46always precedes giving
44. 1:50that is
45. 1:52whatever we are to give to god
46. 1:54was what we received from god
47. 1:57math we we looked at deuteronomy chapter
48. 2:0016 verse 17 earlier on
49. 2:03now we look at matthew chapter 10 verse
50. 2:058
51. 2:06he said freely
52. 2:08he have received
53. 2:10freely give
54. 2:12so whatever god asked us to give is what
55. 2:16we already received
56. 2:18receiving always precedes giving
57. 2:22the meaning of that is god will never
58. 2:25ask you to give what he has not given
59. 2:28you first
60. 2:30number three god owns the earth
61. 2:34and all that is in it
62. 2:38and all that man has
63. 2:41god owns the earth
64. 2:44all that is in it
65. 2:46all that man has
66. 2:49whatever you have whatever i have
67. 2:52whatever is in any account in the world
68. 2:54god owns it
69. 2:57we saw psalm 24 verse 1 earlier on now
70. 3:00we shall look at
71. 3:01psalm 89 11
72. 3:05psalm 89 verse 11 he said the heavens
73. 3:08are dying
74. 3:10the earth also is dying as for the world
75. 3:14and the fullness thereof thou has
76. 3:17founded them
77. 3:20everything i have everything i own
78. 3:22everything i wear belong to god
79. 3:26that is what the scripture it says the
80. 3:28earth is the lord
81. 3:30and the fullness thereof that is point
82. 3:32number one please this scripture is
83. 3:34under point a
84. 3:36b
85. 3:38we brought nothing into the world
86. 3:43and we shall take nothing out of the
87. 3:45world
88. 3:47we brought nothing into the world we
89. 3:49shall take nothing out of the world the
90. 3:51meaning is we met everything in this
91. 3:54world and we shall leave everything in
92. 3:56this world nobody was born with gold in
93. 3:59his hand or born with a certificate in
94. 4:01his hand we saw job chapter 1 verse 21
95. 4:04where he said naked i came and naked
96. 4:06shall i return we saw ecclesiastes
97. 4:08chapter 5 and in verse 15 where he said
98. 4:11as he came so shall he return and now
99. 4:14ecclesiastes chapter 5 and in verse 16
100. 4:17the bible also said in episodes 5 16 and
101. 4:20this also is so evil that in all points
102. 4:23as he came so shall he go
103. 4:29we brought nothing in this world
104. 4:31we are taking nothing out which means
105. 4:37it belongs to somebody but it's not us
106. 4:40number three you'll see
107. 4:42god owns the life and breath
108. 4:45that we have to end anything on it
109. 4:49he owns the life and the breath
110. 4:53he gave you the breath gave you the life
111. 4:56that made you to end any money no dead
112. 4:59man ends his salary
113. 5:02no dead man ends money anywhere
114. 5:06god gave the life he gave the breath
115. 5:10saw that in job chakra 12 and verse 10
116. 5:12earlier on in whose hand is the soul of
117. 5:15every living thing
118. 5:17and the breath of all mankind now in job
119. 5:19chapter 33 and in verse 4
120. 5:22he also said the spirit of god has made
121. 5:25me
122. 5:25and the bread of the almighty has given
123. 5:28me life if god owns my breath and owns
124. 5:31my life that i use to make the money
125. 5:34then it means he owns the money
126. 5:39number five god owns the energy and the
127. 5:43strength we use to end anything
128. 5:46he owns the energy he owns the strength
129. 5:50in the first service resource 18 verse 1
130. 5:53in the second service we saw some 18
131. 5:55verse 2 in this thought service we see
132. 5:58psalm 19 verse 14 where it is confirmed
133. 6:02that god owns the energy
134. 6:04let the walls of my mouth and the
135. 6:06meditation of my heart be acceptable in
136. 6:09thy sight oh lord my strength
137. 6:14in other words i couldn't have walked on
138. 6:16my legs to my office without his
139. 6:18strength i could not have sat on the
140. 6:21table to sign the contract without his
141. 6:23strength
142. 6:25but my muscle the muscles of my hand
143. 6:27couldn't have signed anything without
144. 6:29his strength
145. 6:31if god holds the strength in my hand
146. 6:34that i used to sign the contract then
147. 6:36god owns the money
148. 6:39god is my strength
149. 6:42number five
150. 6:43god owns the favor and the opportunity
151. 6:46that gives us anything the favor and the
152. 6:48opportunity that gives us anything in
153. 6:51christ chapter 9 verse 11 we saw in the
154. 6:53first service very critical he said i i
155. 6:55returned and saw under the sun that the
156. 6:57race is not today swift the battle is
157. 7:00not to be strong bread is not to the
158. 7:02wise riches is not for men of
159. 7:04understanding favor is not for men of
160. 7:07skill but time and chance all the mercy
161. 7:09of god is what happens to people
162. 7:12that is
163. 7:13the fastest runners don't always win the
164. 7:15race
165. 7:17that is
166. 7:18wise people don't always have all the
167. 7:20money
168. 7:22talented people are not always loaded
169. 7:24with resources
170. 7:26there are talented people that are
171. 7:27stranded
172. 7:30only the mercy of god
173. 7:32see how romans chapter 9 verse 16 puts
174. 7:34it it's not of him that we let it's not
175. 7:37of him that run it it's of god that's
176. 7:39what mercy
177. 7:40it's not of him that we let it's not of
178. 7:42him that run it it's not a matter of the
179. 7:45struggle you were able to put forth it's
180. 7:47not the matter of the effort you are
181. 7:49able to put forth
182. 7:51by the mercy of god
183. 7:53finally
184. 7:54god owns the wisdom
185. 7:56or the brain that brought us any income
186. 8:01daniel chapter 2 verse 20 and verse 21
187. 8:03it says that wisdom is his
188. 8:07wisdom and might are his now look at
189. 8:09john chapter 3 verse 27 a man can
190. 8:11receive nothing
191. 8:14except it be giving him from above
192. 8:17a man can receive nothing can receive no
193. 8:20wisdom can receive no favor can receive
194. 8:23no money can receive nothing
195. 8:26except heaven chose to smile on him
196. 8:31so all i have
197. 8:33was given to me
198. 8:34by my lord
199. 8:36someone said lord amen
200. 8:39no man can boast of anything
201. 8:41if god has not given it to him
202. 8:44let your writer say father
203. 8:46you are the owner of my life
204. 8:48you are the owner
205. 8:50of all i have
206. 8:52all right let's run quickly examples of
207. 8:54giving and receiving in scripture
208. 8:56we saw the example of adam
209. 8:59god took the rib from adam
210. 9:01and returned the eve
211. 9:04that was in the first service we saw
212. 9:06that secondly we saw the example of the
213. 9:08multiplication of the meal for the widow
214. 9:10of zarifa
215. 9:12totally we saw the example we have seen
216. 9:14the example of the bottle of oil that
217. 9:17multiplied
218. 9:19for the widow the prophet's widow
219. 9:22that's right
220. 9:24number four we have seen the example of
221. 9:26the water that turned into wine
222. 9:29in luke john chapter 2 6 to 8.
223. 9:33number five we saw the example of the
224. 9:35multiplication of five loaves and two
225. 9:37fishes to feed the multitudes in john
226. 9:39chapter 6 verse 11 to 12.
227. 9:44number six is the miracle of the
228. 9:45abrahamic seed
229. 9:49a woman cried to elijah second king
230. 9:51chapter four
231. 9:53let's say from verse two
232. 9:57elisha said unto her tell me what you
233. 9:59have in your house and she said your
234. 10:00handmaid has nothing but a pot of
235. 10:02oil and elijah said go burrow vessels or
236. 10:05collect vessels abroad of your neighbors
237. 10:08not a few
238. 10:10when you come in shut the door and begin
239. 10:11to pour the oil
240. 10:13and you shall set aside that which is
241. 10:15full
242. 10:17and she went and did that
243. 10:19and he brought the vessels to her and
244. 10:20she poured out
245. 10:22and it came to pass when the vessels
246. 10:24were full that she said unto her son
247. 10:26bring me yet a vessel and he said unto
248. 10:28her there is not yet a vessel law and
249. 10:30the oil stayed
250. 10:33one bottle of oil
251. 10:35multiplied as it was being poured out
252. 10:38what is the mean of that
253. 10:40the potential of every seed is
254. 10:42manifested in is released
255. 10:46you don't know the potential of a seed
256. 10:49until it is released
257. 10:52the woman said i have just one bottle of
258. 10:55oil
259. 10:56and that bottle of oil became the
260. 10:58salvation of her family
261. 11:01what that says also is that the seed is
262. 11:04the answer to the siege
263. 11:08the seed can break a siege
264. 11:19the vessel stopped
265. 11:21the oil stopped only because the vessels
266. 11:24and finished
267. 11:26i see somebody with a siege that is
268. 11:29about to be broken by the seed
269. 11:33what kind of seeds are we to solve
270. 11:35number one is the regular worship
271. 11:37offering
272. 11:40earlier on we saw first chronicles 16 29
273. 11:44then we saw deuteronomy chapter 16 verse
274. 11:4517
275. 11:47and now we shall see psalm 96 verse 8.
276. 11:53give unto the lord the glory due to his
277. 11:55name bring an offering
278. 11:59and coming to his courts
279. 12:00this is what we do when we come before
280. 12:03god in a regular worship like it's a
281. 12:05worship offering
282. 12:07is an expression of value for god
283. 12:11and that giving attracts a receiving
284. 12:14and you give according to your size
285. 12:18number two is kingdom project giving
286. 12:22we saw exodus 33 verse 35 verse 5 to 11
287. 12:26exodus 36 verse 5 to 7 in the previous
288. 12:29services now we see first chronicles
289. 12:31chapter 29 verse 2 to 3
290. 12:35where david prepared with his might
291. 12:39gold and silver for the building of the
292. 12:42house
293. 12:44kingdom project giving
294. 12:46where you prepare your best
295. 12:49to ensure the house for god is built
296. 12:53when you build god the house you can
297. 12:54never be stranded for life
298. 12:57number three is vows and sacrifices
299. 13:02first samantha 1 verse 11 we saw earlier
300. 13:04on
301. 13:05and then some 20 verse 1 to 3 we saw in
302. 13:07the second service
303. 13:09now psalm 50 verse 14 to 15
304. 13:12psalm 50 he said offer unto god
305. 13:15thanksgiving and paid thy vows
306. 13:18unto the most high god and call upon me
307. 13:20in the day of trouble i will deliver
308. 13:23thee
309. 13:23and you shall glorify me vows are the
310. 13:26things you tell god if you do this for
311. 13:28me i will do this
312. 13:30sacrifices are what you give now out of
313. 13:33pain
314. 13:34out of inconvenience
315. 13:38for any reason either but by your own
316. 13:41volition
317. 13:43or because the church made a demand
318. 13:46and as you do so the sacrifices turn
319. 13:48around captivities that was regular i
320. 13:51think kingdom project vows and
321. 13:52sacrifices and number four is given to
322. 13:55the less privileged
323. 13:58in the first service we saw proverbs 19
324. 13:5917 second service psalm 41 1-3 and in
325. 14:02this thought service is proverbs 29-7
326. 14:09the righteous considerate the cause of
327. 14:12the poor
328. 14:14but the wicked regarded not to know it
329. 14:17so righteousness equals impacting the
330. 14:21life of the poor
331. 14:23and according to proverbs 19 17
332. 14:27whatever you give to the poor is
333. 14:29something you have borrowed to the lord
334. 14:32and god will return it
335. 14:35say amen
336. 14:36giving to the less privileged number
337. 14:38five is responsibility giving
338. 14:41responsibilities your responsibility to
339. 14:43your parent earthly parent
340. 14:46spiritual parent
341. 14:48responsibility to your wife and children
342. 14:51responsibility to those who work for you
343. 14:54not sleeping with your salary
344. 14:57responsibility
345. 15:02in all those directions the scriptures
346. 15:03on the screen please place it and let it
347. 15:05be noted for those because of time i'm
348. 15:07just rushing the ephesians chapter 6
349. 15:08verse 1 to 3 talks about your
350. 15:10responsibility to your parent galatians
351. 15:126 6 talks about your irresponsibility to
352. 15:14the best people who instruct you and let
353. 15:16me call chapter 19 verse 13 talks about
354. 15:19responsibility to those who work for you
355. 15:22finally is the tights
356. 15:26and
357. 15:27first fruits
358. 15:29the tides
359. 15:32in leviticus
360. 15:33we read genesis 14 18 to 20 already and
361. 15:36ezekiel 44 30 concerning the first fruit
362. 15:38but now in leviticus chapter 27 verse 30
363. 15:41leviticus 27 verse 30 he said and all
364. 15:44the tithe of the land
365. 15:47whether of the seed of the land of the
366. 15:50fruit of the tree
367. 15:52is the lord's
368. 15:54it is holy
369. 15:56unto the lord all the times
370. 15:58all the times all the times now there is
371. 16:01some some people who are in some
372. 16:02confusion concerning the tithe i preach
373. 16:05a message titled the matter of the title
374. 16:07one of our ministers told me he was in
375. 16:08an office where people were arguing
376. 16:10about the title and he had this note
377. 16:12where i preached on that message the
378. 16:13matter of the time he opened the note
