December 4, 2013 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 Honor God and Hell Honor You by Gloria Copeland Proverbs gives us a very basic principle of success. It is this: If you want God to honor you and bless you in any area of your life, youre going to have to honor Him in that particular area. If you want God to bless you financially, youre going to have to honor Him with your money, or as this verse puts it, with the firstfruits of all your increase. In other words, youre going to have to tithe. Ken and I know that from experience. When we started our life with the Lord, we were in terrible shape financially. And we stayed that way for several years because we failed to tithe consistently. Oh, we tried to tithe, but wed never last long at it. Then, one day, we made a quality decision that we were going to tithe no matter what. Thats when we started coming out of trouble financially. When we began honoring God with our money by tithing, He began to help us in that area in miraculous ways. You may say, Well, Gloria, I just cant afford to tithe right now. But let me tell you, you cant afford not to! If you dont start honoring God with your money, youll be in the same financial position next year that youre in today. So do it--even if it looks like you cant afford to. God is faithful! If youll honor Him by giving Him the ten percent that belongs to Him, Hell help you with the rest. Give God His first. Do it in faith, expecting. As you tithe, worship Him and be grateful for what He has already done in your life. Youll be amazed when you see what He can do.
