TITHE\/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS)!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they\ncan outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But\nwhy? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE\/TITHING and OFFERING,\ngiving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church\/Churches in kind\/cash or\ngiving towards CHARITY\/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes\nthem win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies\nthem into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or\nREDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am SORRY to say the Kingdom of God has NO short cut\naccess or BRIBERY windows for such self consumed or consummated intent. For God\ncan’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you\nsow – (Galatians 6:6-8). And it’s simply because there are more important,\nprimary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and about LIVING the life\nof – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH\/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in\nTITHE\/TITHING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up\nyour TITHE\/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY\/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T\nNEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY\nand FAITH\/FAITHFULNESS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only\nESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD.\nThis is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ. You then – THINK. PONDER And\nMEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and\nyour fulfilment TOMORROW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWoe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others”<\/em> Matthew 23:23 (Amplified)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further Scriptural Reading: Acts 5:1-11; 1 John 1:7 (5-10); Matthew 22:15-22.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
