Being faithful often requires that you sacrifice some pleasures early on to reduce the amount you would otherwise pay creditors, so that you prioritize tithes and offerings to God before paying anyone else. This results in His supernatural blessing on your finances by getting the devil off your case so that He does not devour the seed and the fruit that has been already given to you. It also keeps the windows of Heaven open for greater opportunities for you in endeavors and arenas in which you can exhibit Christ likeness in your conversation and conduct, shine, and give glory to the LORD.
The bible shows that you prioritize the LORD’s will above your own in your finances when you give your local church and other ministries ten percent of your gross income plus an offering each pay period. Different forms of offering (alms, building funds, etc.) are freewill in nature and should be given cheerfully as you purpose in your heart recognizing that God will give bountifully to you because you give bountifully to spread the gospel and build up the saints. Thus, God has not commanded a specific percentage or dollar amount of gross pay to be given each pay period. However, He recognizes and so should you that those who faithfully tithe always mature into bountiful givers who are abundantly blessed throughout their lives.
You honor the LORD by recognizing that He is creator and provider of all good things when you give faithfully to ministry work. This faith-filled attitude of heart, lifestyle organization, and management of your finances allows you to eventually obtain the money you need to pay each creditor all you owe them, maintain a debt-free lifestyle, and live in and build upon the abundance it produces.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
