THE COVENANT MYSTERY OF GIVING

HOTR SUNRISE SUNDAY SERVICE || 3RD SEPTEMBER 2023 PREACHER - REV. TOKS ADEJUWON TOPIC - THE COVENANT MYSTERY OF GIVING BIBLE TEXT - 2 CORINTHIANS 9: 8-10 THE ENTRANCE OF GOD'S WORD GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO MAN In the texts above God said he will make all grace abound unto us. We have a good God who will supply all our needs according to his riches in Glory. We are going to look through the Epistles concerning Giving. There are Twelve 12 Principles of Giving as expounded in the Epistles. 1. Believers are not able to Give to God anything that did not originate from Him. Romans 11:33-35. God is the primary and first giver of everything. He's the possessor of everything on earth. Everything we have GOD gave to us. Psalm. 24:1- The earth is the Lord's Psalm 50:10-12 Haggi 2:8 Believers cannot give anything that did not first come from God. 2. Some Believers are able to operate in a special Grace for Giving. Romans 12:8 1 Corinthians 12 Ephesians 4:11 We all are to Partake of this grace of Giving not only some believers. 3. Believers have a duty to minister financially to those who have blessed them spiritually. Romans 15:25-27 We as Believers have a duty to bless our Pastor in the upcoming Pastor's Appreciation. Galatians 6:6 4. Ministers have a right to be supported financially for their work in ministry. 1 Corinthians 9:4-15 It's God's ordination that those who preach the gospel should live off the Gospel. Paul says it's a right for the Ministers of the Word. In the Old Testament, when the children of Israel moved to Canaan, God said the Tribe of Levi shouldn't be given land since they were ministers at the Altar and they were to live from the Altar. 1 Timothy 5:17-18 The Bible says that ministers are worthy of double honor. As it's written, Do not muzzle the mouth of the Oxen. As they are treading the corn, they ought to eat as well. 5. Love must motivate our giving 1 Corinthians 13:3 Even if I give everything I have to the poor that will not cost me anything, but without Love, it will mean nothing and Not motivate God. Love should motivate us to give, do not give out of fear nor out of guilt. Our attitude should be the main thing when giving. We should have the right way to Give. You can give without Loving but you can't Love without Giving. Give to see someone else life be changed and not to show off! 6. Christians should practice Consistent and systematic giving. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 There's also the principle of proportional giving as said in the scripture. Give as a lifestyle. The principles of Tithing, as in the Old Testament is always a higher standard than in the New Testament, therefore we did 10% under the law we should do more under Grace(the New Testament) we can't give less. Hebrews 6:12 Hebrews 7: 3 Your Tithe belongs to your local church where you are fed. Tithe is an act of faith, not just throwing money but must move with words- words of Affirmation to God concerning Giving. Give as God has given us. Be consistent in your giving so as to receive on every wave. 7. Giving is a Grace that can be exercised in the midst of challenging circumstances. 2 Corinthians 8:8-9 There are natural tendency for people to give more now even in the face economic downturn. There had been famine even up to the time of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and beyond but God still gave bread to His people. God's word is the same and this is the strategic time to give for God will not forsake us. 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 Giving is the ultimate example that has been given to us- Jesus is the perfect example, Jesus died for us so that we might be Rich. To be Rich means Full Supply. ... But my God shall supply all your needs, according to His Riches in Glory". Even the churches in Macedonia gave liberally even in the face of challenging circumstances. 8. Every one of us should do our part and carry our weight in giving. 2 Corinthians 8:14-15 There's a way out of poverty, the principle to this is by giving. You can give your way out of poverty. 9. The Bible clearly teaches the law of sowing and reading. What the word of God says, is that God is not trying to take from us, He wants to give to us. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 - Do Not give grudgingly... Galatians 6:7-9 There's hardly any seed that is planted and there is no bountiful harvest. Give with an attitude that even if I sow, provided someone's need is met and one person is saved we are satisfied. When we give, release our faith with our giving. Speak to the seed, release your confession to the giving for You shall have whatever you say. LEARN TO MIX FAITH WITH YOUR GIVING Sowing and reaping is not only money, there's also conduct to it. 10. Paul sought people's hearts and not their money 2 Corinthians 12:13-18. God is more interested in our hearts than in our giving. Have a right heart, have a proper lifestyle. This is a weightier matter. We can't bribe God. Don't think Giving is a substitute for a right handwork. Matthew 23:23 First, commit your heart to Serving God. 11. Paul was eager to give to the poor. Galatians 2:9-10 We all have to Be eager to give to the poor among us. The people in our community, The less privileged are to be given to. Don't be under pressure to give or to support the people's lazy lifestyle. Put the poor among the saints first. The poor among us who are believers should be given first. Honor your parents, give them substance. Give your wife, husband, and children. Don't try to play God in everyone's Lives You are not EL SHAADDI OR JIREH, Give moderately. You can't please everyone. 12. Paul and John encouraged Christian Charity among the brethren. Galatians 6:10 Some people may not be needy but need Good to be done to them. Do Good Today Be a blessing to someone in our immediate church community who has needs. 1 John 3:17-18. There are practical ways to show love to people.

THE COVENANT MYSTERY OF GIVING

HOTR FRESH DEW SUNDAY SERVICE || 3RD SEPTEMBER, 2023 PREACHER- REV. TOKS ADEJUWON TOPIC- THE COVENANT MYSTERY OF GIVING BIBLE TEXT - 2ND CORINTHIANS 9:8-10 THE ENTRANCE OF GOD'S WORD GIVES LIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING TO MAN. God is able to make all grace abound towards us. We celebrate the grace of God in our lives and that same grace is able to abound even in our finances. Giving is a grace that every believer is to participate in. Let's look deeply at what The New Testament says about Giving. As believers, We learn From the Old (Testament) and live from the New(Testament). Looking at the Epistle, there are principles that guide Giving as a believer. Twelve (12) Principles concerning Christian Giving according to The Epistles. 1. Believers are not able to Give to His anything that did not originate from Him. Romans 11:33-35 God is the one who is the giver of everything. Our attitude towards giving should not be one of arrogance but one of gratitude. He wants us to. Be Faithful stewards of Him through our giving. 2. Some Believers operate in a special Grace of Giving. Romans 12:68 There is extra grace that some believers walk in when it comes to the giving ministry. Every single believer ought to also walk in this grace of giving. 3. Believers have a duty to minister material and financial substance to those who have blessed us Spiritually. Romans 15:25-27 If a minister of God in our church has impacted our lives and blessed us, it's our duty to give our pastor material and financial gifts. It's Biblical as read in the scripture above. Galatians 6:6 - let him that's thought in the world communicate to him that have taught us all things. 4. Ministers have a right to be supported financially by the work in THE ministry. 1 Corinthians 9:4-15 From the above, Paul espoused that God's word is categorical about the ministers of the word having a right to be supported in the work of the ministry 1 Timothy 5:17-19 Pastor is worthy of our double honor. 1Samuel 2:30 - God will. Honor those who honor Him. Once we honor those whom God has put in place to receive Honor, we will in turn receive Honor from God. In the Old Testament, there were Tribes. The tribe of Levi was in charge of ministering to God from the Temple. when the land was given to the tribes, the Tribe of Levi wasn't given any for God expects them to feast from the Altar. 5. Love should Motivate the Believers to give. 1 Corinthians 13:3. Someone can give everything he has and if not done out of love the person will not get a proper harvest. Don't give because you want to get using the Bible principles of seed time and harvest, But give because of the love in you and wanting to be a blessing! 6. Believers should practice consistent and systematic giving. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2. Your giving should be in proportion to what You have. The Bible said, "The liberal soul shall Be made fat." The giving hand shall always be on top! Thus, We should be systematic and CONSISTENT about our Giving. 7. Giving is a Grace that should be practiced even in the midst of challenging circumstances. 2 Corinthians 8:2-9 The Church that Paul was referring to in the scripture above, in their lack and poverty, they were still Giving. Jesus exemplifies and personifies Giving for Us. Our sins, diseases, and curses were upon him. He still died for us and Gave his life for us at no Cost. This is the Most Giving of all Times. 8. Every Believer should Do Their Part and Carry their Weight in Giving. 2 Corinthians 8:14 -16 Even the poor ought to give to enable them to Come Out of poverty. Just be diligent, save well, spend well, give generously and that poor Person will Come out of poverty. 9. The Bible teaches the Law of Sowing and Reaping. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 If you sow bountifully, You reap Bountifully. Give out of Faith, Give out of love, and Give out of Conviction. Give with Love. Use Good words and release words with Faith. Mix Faith with your giving, and speak God's word when your financial Giving is going forth! Philippians 4:19 Your heart of Giving should Go to Giving to God first. For God wants us to reap a bountiful Harvest and it's done by sowing. 10. Paul did not seek the People's money, He sought their hearts. It's the same thing with God. God seeks our hearts first not our money. 2 Corinthians 12:14-16 Matthew 23:23 - Yes we ought to give and Tithe, but our Heart comes first. Walking in the things of God and Giving to God genuinely from Our hearts. 11. Paul was eager to give to the poor. But don't show it and make it loud. Galatians 2:9-10 We shouldn't give for a show-off or to show off. Start giving from your immediate home and space. Giving to the people at home for charity begins at home. Give to your parents, children, wife, and husband, give to the church. Tithe for those who tithed bought the seats in church! Over and above the 10% give generously. Give to the Poor and Needy Believers in our space, but be mindful of giving to So many... DON'T BE ELSHAADDI -GOD IS, AND GOD IS OUR SOURCE 12. Paul and John encouraged Charity Giving within their Christian Brethren. Galatians 6:11 1 John 3:17-18 Give to all men, especially to believers. Be good and Give to other members of our faith community. LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD THIS MESSAGE IN MP3 FORMAT USING THE BUTTONS PROVIDED BELOW.

FAITH EXPRESSED AS HONOR CONT'D-HONORING OUR PASTOR

HOTR SCHOOL OF THE SPIRIT WEDNESDAY 30TH AUGUST, 2023 TEACHER - PASTOR OKECHUKWU OKEKE TOPIC - FAITH EXPRESSED AS HONOR CONT'D-HONORING OUR PASTOR BIBLE TEXT- MATTHEW 10:40-45 || 1 SAMUEL 8:7-9 He that receives the Father receives Jesus, and He that receives the Prophet, he that receives the disciples, Receives Jesus too, and that person has a reward and will not lose his reward. Faith is invincible, it cannot be seen but Faith is the NOW, it can be shown to be a persuasion and conviction. Faith has a lot to do with the subconscious mind and not the conscious mind. Therefore for something to sit inside of Us, there must be a conviction. For without Faith, it's impossible to please God. The word TEMPT is a military word used to test the firmness of a sword for battle hence the Word 'TEMPTING' is God's way of authenticating our Faith. Let's break it down in some English language. Faith is a Noun- Faith is a belief, an ideology. A Noun cannot exist without a verb; Thus, Without an action, there's no Faith. In this kingdom, we grow by contributing and not by consuming. Faith is Contributory! ROMANS10:14 - PAUL was writing and said can the people hear without being preached to...Faith is by hearing and hearing by the word Of God! Hearing is by instruction. We cannot believe something without an instruction behind it. If we do not beloved we will not receive the Instruction. We have a Pastor who constantly comes and gives us instruction and by the instruction we come out of any quagmire, we have received instruction and our faith has grown. 1 CORINTHIANS 9:11- PAUL said if we have been ministered to in spiritual things, it will be a crime to give carnal things... Our Pastor has poured into our lives and we are to honor him as written PROVERBS 3:9. When Honor is talked about, there's a weight that goes with it just like the widow of Zarephat who was asked to Honor the prophet Elijah. Peter also toured all night to catch fish, and Jesus showed up and asked him to throw his net, He had his doubts but HE still HONORED the LORD and cast his Net and His catch was enormous. This is a reward of Honor. NUMBERS 14:2- The children of the Israelites murmured against God with Moses and they had their reward...Only Joshua and Caleb entered the promised land at the end. Honor is a blessing and to honor GOD through our Pastor is a greater Blessing! When you have the understanding of God's promises in HIS word, And HONOR the people He says we should Honor, we apply Faith then Pray to God and Ask him What you want, praying with understanding, you wait and God will give you the answered prayers in due time for HE is a Loving Father. Growth and comfort can never co-exist. The same God that commanded light to show up out of darkness, CAN DO ANYTHING! CHARGE- IT'S OUR PASTOR's APPRECIATION ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2023, Challenge Yourself and Challenge God, Release the seed and be assured that your Harvest will come forth!
