WISDOM NUGGETS: WORTH PONDERING!

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

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

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

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

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only
ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD.
This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ. You then – THINK. PONDER And
MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and
your fulfilment TOMORROW.

“Woe 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” Matthew 23:23 (Amplified).

Further Scriptural Reading: Acts 5:1-11; 1 John 1:7 (5-10); Matthew 22:15-22.
