<strong>Attack</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Lack</strong><br />
the pastor said, "Now everyone pay your tithes<br />
and offerings this morning to the Lord," for he<br />
didn't say anything at all about God opening the<br />
windows of heaven and pouring blessings<br />
directly upon us, or that God would rebuke the<br />
devourers for our sake because we had honored<br />
Him with the firstfruits of our increase. (Read<br />
Malachi 3:10,11.)<br />
This grew into a spirit of poverty that brought<br />
us into bondage as far as prospering as God's<br />
children was concerned. I know one thing, it took<br />
a lot of the joy out of serving the Lord.<br />
It was more than 12 years after I became a<br />
tither that I first began to learn to accept the<br />
cross as "paid in full" for all I owed. Then I could<br />
give as a seed I sowed and from it expect God to<br />
give me His rich harvests back in the form of my<br />
need. That's when my walk with Christ took on<br />
the sparkling excitement that continues to grow<br />
as I learn better how to live in Seed-Faith day<br />
after day.<br />
Why do you give?<br />
You give seeds so that we might get harvests.<br />
<strong>Your</strong> time.<br />
<strong>Your</strong> money.<br />
<strong>Your</strong> acts of kindness.<br />
