<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 />
