Partnering God
Malachi 3.6-12
Kenya flight – One way relationship
Dating -you call / friendship -you pay / marriage -you faithful
God complains – one way relationship!
Covenant Broken!
I have not changed (6) – my people have – its one way!
Return – how? – Don’t rob me – how robbing? – Tithes + Offerings
Deal was: I provide – you give tenth (tithe)
Under curse – all of you – pushed my hand of blessing away
Covenant – partners – going together – same vision – team – roles
Bring tithes to storehouse so there can be food/provision in my house (10) – God can fill storehouses – wants people to play a role – show heart – can fill offering bags – arrange his own standing order out of our accounts
Is your covenant broken? One way relationship?
Half time – whistle goes – bad half – commentators
Tithing – Hasn’t Christ set us free from Law?
Tithing to Temple – has God scrapped Temple or transformed it? We are the Temple – living stones – Tithing not scrapped, its transformed – for the Church
Tithing not law in forced by men – attitude compelled by Spirit – Same Spirit makes us cry Abba Father wants God’s House to extend to be nations
Circumcised hearts tithe – if you don’t tithe, check your heart!
Half Time over – second half begins!
Covenant Restored – better half
Return to me, and I’ll return to you! (7) Second chance!
Bring whole tithe – tenth(10) – part was the problem
Why a tenth? To know whats healthy – Rate for a house-help?
Tenth lower limit – what is healthy
Dip stick – below-safe / safe / healthy – friction seize – church too
Our income is half what it should be – unsafe – running rough
Tenth is faithfulness – above is generosity
Pastors must tithe! – Priests tithed from tithe!
Food (provision) in my house – crops + herds was money – we convert produce first
Test me (10) – only place – can’t outgive God – Scotland – step out boat – final 10k on return
Throw open floodgates of heaven – finance? – think what heaven rains down is – blessed worship / preaching / relationships / prayer / outreach – Scotland: ministry/words/house
All the nations call you blessed (12 – voted happiest nation – MSG) – corporate blessing – outsiders ‘Vineyard folk interesting, booming‘ – not now – giving in service & finance will do it
Service + finance – Family Rally Team – role – finance shows committed – give person public ministry – do you tithe?
If we give time + money, we’ll boom! Really … Test Him!
Game of trust – your trust / catcher trustworthy – test him!
