DIVINE INSURANCE;

“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”
(Malachi 3:11).

Paying your tithe has a promise from God, that’s why I like to call tithing “God’s financial insurance policy for His children.” The tithe represents ten percent of whatever God has blessed you with, and it’s a commitment which every child of God should faithfully observe. A Christian who doesn’t pay his tithe regularly will not be open to receive important signals from the Spirit of God; he’ll also be susceptible to a depreciation of his physical possessions.

For most people, tithing is a monthly practice when their paycheck is due. However, there’re several other ways in which God blesses you, and it’s smart for you to tithe on those increases as well. Perhaps you live far from your workplace and there’s a colleague who drops you off at work every morning, saving you a lot of money you could have spent on transportation. That’s a blessing from God! That’s actually money given back to you. You ought to tithe on that.

The same thing goes with every other blessing you receive from time to time. You should liberate your mind from the thought that your salary is the only source of God’s provision for you. Whether it’s a new official car you got, or some unexpected funds, recognize the blessing of God and give Him what is due Him. When you live this way, your life will be an unending stream of blessings and miracles.

Remember, your tithe is your insurance program with God. It’s a guarantee that you’ll never lack in your life!

COMMAND THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF THAT DARKNESS;

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts…But we have this treasure in earthen vessels…”(2 Corinthians 4:6-7).

There are two vital things I want to highlight from the opening scripture. Firstly, it says that the light of God is in our hearts. Secondly, the scripture didn’t say “God commanded the darkness to become light” neither did it say “God brought light into the darkness.” You see, either of these two statements is good but what this scripture really says is even better. “For God…commanded the light to shine out of darkness…” (2 Corinthians 4:6). Can light come out of darkness? Light and darkness don’t mix. Yet the Bible says that God commanded the light to shine out of darkness.

Remember, the earth was a chaotic mass that was enveloped in complete darkness (Genesis 1:2). But at His command, God brought order to the maddening chaos and light leapt out of the looming darkness. As a child of God, you have received the same ability; you can call the light out of darkness. 2 Corinthians 4:7 says “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels…” There’s a treasure in you; it’s a treasure of love, light and divine perfection. God has shined in our hearts and given us the ability to bring light out of darkness. Therefore, make a change in your situation today. There’s no problem too hard that you can’t solve, no situation is too hopeless that you can’t change.

If you feel pain in your body for example, turn to where the pain is and say, “I command the healing to come out of this pain in Jesus’ Name.” The reason some Christians are full of regrets, suffer all kinds of problems and even die is that they are ignorant of their inherent ability. Joel 2:28 says, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.” These are the last days and the Spirit has already been poured out. If you find yourself in any predicament, prophesy your way out of it for God has given you the power to command light out of darkness.

PRAY THAT THE WORD MAY HAVE FREE COURSE;

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed”(Acts 19:20).

In 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2, the Apostle Paul asked for the saints to pray for him and other ministers with him that they may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men who were against the faith and the preaching of the Gospel: “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.”

When decrees or laws are enacted that are anti-Christian or against the preaching of the Gospel, we must be aware that such things are done by unreasonable and wicked men who have found their way into power for their own selfish ends. But we can stop them in their tracks. As a matter of fact, God expects us to, because in the 3rd Verse of 2 Thessalonians 3, we’re given the assurance that we have His attention when we pray against such: “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”

There’s so much power in the Church, but we can’t discover the extent and potency of the power we possess with our mouths shut. For that power to be effective, we’re going to have to pray and declare what we want to see in our country. We have the divine authority to cause a change. All that’s necessary is for one righteous man or woman to be stirred enough to pray that their wicked acts, schemes, policies, and stratagems of satan to frustrate God’s people and the preaching of the Gospel in the country be brought to naught.

I challenge you today to be that righteous man or woman who will take a stand in prayer and not stop praying until the Word of God grows mightily and prevails in our nation.
