you the power of god i i don't know but there are people god is raising to become mighty vessels i just saw an anointing rest on you this rule in the name of jesus i don't know where you are but i pray may that grace now let it rest upon you and shift you to a new dimension in the name of jesus christ [Music] welcome to christcentric message on this channel you are going to get so lifting messages fit based content prayer drills and videos that would help you grow spiritually remember to subscribe to the channel like the video you are about to watch and comment on it stay blessed leviticus chapter 27 and verse 30. the reason why people argue about tight is number one because they think tight is about money tight is not about money and all the title of the land whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree is the lord's it is holy unto the lord this has nothing to do with a dispensation this is an ordinance let me submit to you there are two reasons why i think the tight issue has become a controversy in the body of christ number one and is because of the way we men of god drum it we draw me because we need the money and because there have been a lot of misuse and extravagance with god's money people have played all kinds of games with god's money at the expense of people's sacrifices and not everybody in church people god's people are not dummies when they watch and they see that the value approved you are producing does not match the kind of affluence and extravagance you are communicating someone will be sensitive enough to ask questions and because a tight is a tenth portion there is nothing to hide about tight tight financially speaking is a tenth portion of what you bring and let me tell you if that is combined from faithful people it is a lot bankers am i right it is a lot what is there to hide tithe was supposed to be a mechanism listen to me according to scripture the tithe was supposed to be a mechanism to cater for priesthood and to cater for the building of the lord's house to cater for priesthood remember there was a time when the children of eli hofney and finis are we bible students that while they were boiling the meat they were given the privilege of using a fork to pick without looking the sin there became when they now started opening the whole pot and they would look for the choice part of the meat and use it and god said no this is not i gave you the privilege to at least pick something now there are all kinds of policies and principles i'm not going into the legalities of ministries and christian organizations and all of that but i can tell you it is because of the annoyance of people from the carelessness the recklessness and the misuse of god's money this is what has led people into this anger that has evolved into this campaign there are a few people who have intelligently studied and based on their conclusion they feel this is not needed but i tell you the root of most of this type problem has come because of and a level of integrity that has not been effectively communicated are we together but i submit to you and as far as it is within the jurisdiction of this spiritual family i can tell you be a faithful tither tithe is a tenth portion according to scripture 110 now i know that a lot of people have thought to bring 50 percent of your title eighty percent of your time the bible does not say that if god tells you personally it is a personalized dealing don't create a doctrine out of it and punish people within the boundary of contentment and vision 10 percent of what god's people bring should be sufficient to run the activities of the ministry within the boundary of contentment vision and integrity are we learning yes sir so let me encourage you based on the truth of scripture i have learned based on the experience of veterans who have been who are truly prospered by god i can tell you do not stop tithing if you don't have the revelation settle down and get the revelation don't do it religiously but as far as this house is concerned as a ministry where a titan ministry as an individual i'm a titan person and i can tell you tithe is not about money it is called the law of open heavens according to malachi chapter 3 when you begin to read from verse 8 it says will a man rob god it says but you say wherein have we robbed you in tights and offerings so the bible is talking about robbery here it says ye are cursed with a curse this is not the cause of the law no for you have robbed me even this whole nation verse 10. it says bring how many all the tides into my storehouse in another series will have the time to discuss what storehouse is because there are three platforms that qualify to be called the storehouse in fact i think i should just say it in one minute number one a storehouse means your place of primary spiritual nourishment it qualifies it is the first biblical platform that is called a storehouse your place of primary spiritual nourishment number two a storehouse also refers to any ministry that is committed to the salvation of souls and the transformation of lives these two things must be there if it is not actively committed to the salvation of souls and the equipping of the saints it does not qualify to be called the storehouse it's an uncomfortable truth but this is the truth and then number three the storehouse can also by extension refer to an individual a minister who is committed to the salvation of souls and the equipping of the saints there are conditions where an individual can be regarded as a storehouse these are the three just take it like this for now in another series as god grants us grace we'll open deeper into this i just didn't want to leave that gray area but it says bringing all the tights into my storehouse that there may be meat in my house and prove me now here we said the lord there are seven prophetic blessings according to scripture here that follow the title number one god will open for you the windows of heaven number two you will we will pour out a blessing that you will not have room enough for it fathers like kenneth copeland will call it concept insights and ideas next verse it says i will rebuke the devorah the third the devourer is a waster that comes to bring all kinds of waste on legal basis to your life number four he says he shall not destroy the fruit of your ground your ground is anywhere you plant can be your business can be your life and then number five he said neither shall your vine cast its young before its time number six it says you shall be called you shall be a delight some land please go to um all nations shall call you blessed verse 12 and ye shall be a delightsome land seven prophetic blessings according to scripture when jesus was rebuking the scribes and the pharisees for their being hypocritical he did not negate the subject of tithing he said you tighten you do all of these things and you negate the weightier matter so jesus identified this as part of the things that the believers should know tight is very important number three so number one is the law of absolute surrender number two is the law of the tithe and then number three is called the law of giving you can put in bracket the law of seed time and harvest these are the three spiritual laws principally now under the law of said time and heavens there are so many i don't want to run into it this night but then it's sufficient for you to know that the law of giving the law of seed time and harvest is a foundational spiritual law are we together now very important luke chapter 6 and verse 38 we read it earlier here's what it says it says give and it shall be given unto you so the bible states clearly here that when you give it shall be given unto you genesis chapter 8 and verse 22 were rushing for time this was noah after the flood and a proclamation came from heaven on account of the sacrifice that he read he says while the earth remained seedtime and harvest cold and heat summer and winter day and night shall not cease this is an ordinance that will last while the earth remains that means any time you don't find the earth stop obeying the law but provided you can see the earth you should know the law is in force what is sea time and harvest it means that the economic system of the kingdom runs on the principle of seed time and harvest spiritually speaking that anything you do not have it is because you did not plant the seed for it and seed here does not mean money if you want a harvest of kindness sow the seed of kindness if you want there are seeds and there are corresponding harvests oh no listen carefully honor is the seed for a harvest called access good understanding is the seed for harvest called favor diligence listen carefully is the seed for what we call lifting so it is about understanding seeds and harvest a question is the seed for an answer knowledge and wisdom are the keys for enlightenment are we together now yes there are different kinds of giving the bible now switches to let us know that giving and receiving is sowing and reaping that in this kingdom every time you give you are a farmer who is sowing second corinthians chapter nine will start from verse six so we've identified the fact that the bible talks about giving and receiving it says but this i say he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully go ahead seven it says every man here is the condition and this is the cure for manipulation and control in the church every man according as he has purpose in his heart so let him give not grudgingly nor of necessity for god loves a cheerful giver verse 8 and god by reason of your sowing have you seen that he's talking about sowing and reaping now he turns to giving and receiving so in the kingdom one of the ways that we sow is by giving one of the ways that we reap is by receiving he says god is able to make all grace are bound towards you so that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound onto every good work can i be honest with you ask anybody who god has lifted in the kingdom if you do not engage the law of giving and receiving there is a limit in fact you may not be able to rise to certain realms now there are different kinds of givings with different levels of harvest allocated to them let me just run down i may not have the time to explain them our time is already spent forgive me we have what we call the worship offering according to deuteronomy 16 16 the bible says to not come before him empty i'm trying to run very quickly so there is what we call the worship offering that when you come before god it is not a compulsion it's out of revelation that you should not come to the house of god empty based on revelation as proof of your love for him so there is a worship offering number two there is what we call kingdom investments this is one of the major giving platforms that fulfills the spiritual law of wealth and abundance haggai chapter one i believe am i right on that yes when you read from verse two and three haggai the prophet was speaking chapter one from verse one three it says thought speaker the lord of hosts saying these people say the time is not come the time that the lord's house should be built verse 3.

it says am i right on that verse 3. then came the word of the lord by haggai the prophet saying next verse let's see is it time for you o ye to dwell in your sealed houses and this house lie waste kingdom investment therefore those said the lord of hosts consider your ways it says we have so much and bringing little this is the result he eats but have not enough he drink butter not filled with drink he clothed you but there is none warm and he that earned wages only entered wages to put it into a bag that has holes what is the message here that your your participation in the lord's work you shouldn't wait until there is a call by the way there is absolutely nothing wrong in calling people to give provided the needs are clear the revelation is there and it is done within the boundary of integrity the key word always is integrity are we together there is nothing wrong with a man i have gone to many places to preach and the people have come together and raised an offering to honor me and i have blessed them and prayed even in my secret place that god will bless them there are times that the the lord the church can agree together and put resources together and say look common so we've done this as a ministry and i'm sure that we'll still do it as the days come soon we're going to be looking at our building project and god will grant us that grace so there is nothing wrong the key word is integrity and truth are we blessed kingdom investments there are others like seed faith connecting your seed and your your faith through a seed for a desired expectation is based on the principle of resurrection the bible says that every seed can die and that not only do you reap what you sow god is able to give your seed another body you can sow shame and reap joy you can use your seed to kill negative seasons in your life i have taught this the principle of seed faith is based on the principle of resurrection the same way the old heaven and the old earth can pass away you can use a seed and take a season that you don't like out of your life you can tie it by faith this is why it is dangerous to steal money in church because that money you see is only a tray there are people putting courses on it putting all kinds of yoga seasons that they want out of their life when you steal money from church you don't allow the seed to die ask gehazi and naaman just because leprosy left naman did not mean it went away it was waiting and a man uses seed to bring it back to his life i have used this as a principle there are many people who have used the principle of seed faith there are others like prophet offering when i said it during the school of ministry the students were laughing prophet's offering because that one has brought a lot of trouble you know we men of god sometimes because we need money we drum the issue of prophet offering but the truth is that prophet offering is true you can actually use a seed ethically i i wish i'm not the one who has to say this but generally according to scripture you should not really go to meet a man empty-handed it is scriptural but it's just that those who have taught it have taught it with they've robbed enough kinds of biases that makes it to look untrue but it is true as much as possible it's a kingdom culture you should learn especially a man of god who has labored obviously in word and doctrine as much as possible this is not to make you uncomfortable in any way here but i am telling you i owe you to teach you the truth i have never gone to meet any man of god in fact in principle it is not my culture to meet people and not so into their lives then there is sowing to parents both spiritual and physical that attracts patriarchal blessings these are different levels of giving the bible says honor your father and your mother in the lord that your days may be longer and that it shall be well with you these are principles there is a principle of first fruit that has largely been misunderstood in many circles respectfully speaking but i believe that principle is valid and again within the boundary of revelation and truth that principle can be engaged there are many others sacrifice vows so all of these are there but let me tell you there are three that i know by revelation and by scripture that are directly related to the lifting of men one is kingdom investments act an active participant in the work of the kingdom number two prophet offering if done with revelation and understanding you can sow into an anointing that will lift you in a way that will surprise you god gave gifts to men and these gifts did not come empty and then number three seed faith where you can tie an expectation to end seasons and open orders these three i have practiced in my life and have revealed to many who have practiced this ministry has practiced this kingdom investments prophets offering and seed faith let me five minutes let's wrap up please write this the return channels there are return channels when you practice the spiritual laws of wealth and abundance certain things begin to happen in your life there are three principal ways that god answers to you as touching your obedience to spiritual laws three return channels are you ready number one favor with god and men this is the first return channel to the saints if and when they practice this favor is powerful the proof of favor is not just money the proof of favor is access to the hearts of kings access to the hearts of men favor is programmable number two wisdom the second return channel that comes to you on account of activating the spiritual laws ah my god somebody's life is changing oh [Music] you are amazing you are amazing you're so amazing you are amazing listen this is the song you will start singing you know because listen the kind of favor that will come next when it starts coming don't tell lies and say you don't know what you did it is explainable the songs of joy so the first return channel favor what is favor men willing to participate in your success men every time men wait for my teaching the gift of men oh i have it there's a teaching that is coming the bible says what is man that you are mindful of here's how i read that scripture what is a man what did you hide in man that men are not seeing what did you hide in man opportunities what did you hide in man anointings what did you hide in man track records it's all hidden in men please do not downplay the place of favor every time you touch your pocket and you see money generally speaking there are only two ways money comes into your hand favor and value were coming there only favor of god is powerful you can sleep in the prison one night and wake up a prime minister because favor was upon you can i tell you many of us who are trusting god for land and structural establishment above and beyond savings it is the favor of god that gives man land psalms 44 verse 3.
