No Man-Made Law Can Override Gods Principles Countless times throughout my life, I have seen people jump for joy when their loan was approved for their home or transportation, and later seen the same people living in stress and bondage as they had to repay with interest. According to a recent survey, 93% - 97% of all Christians are in debt. This means that approximately 95% of all Christians are unable to give freely to God because of the debt they owe to the Babylonian system. Countless billions of dollars are being flushed down the drain by the church because of interest that is owed. When a disaster happens, the world should be able to rely on the church for relief instead of the government. However, the church in general does not have sufficient resources to do everything that needs to be done, which brings me to the point. Why does the church not have the financial resources it needs? The answer is simple yet very profound. The answer is - tithes and offerings, which is Gods method of funding His work. According to several surveys, only 5% to 7% of church members nationwide tithe. Some say they do not tithe because they have been redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal. 3:13). While it is true that we have been redeemed from the curse of the law and are now under grace rather than the law, the basic principles in the Kingdom of God have not gone away or changed. In reality, the principle of tithing existed before the law and while it was adopted by the law, the purpose was to bring blessing and abundance. The spiritual principles of sowing and reaping, seedtime and harvest, and tithes and offerings were never a curse that we were to be redeemed from, but rather an avenue of blessing from God resulting from our obedience. In the same way, a government can attempt to override a principle by changing the law, but the principle still stands. The law can be changed to redefine marriage, but regardless of the law of man, it still requires one man and one woman to produce one child. No man-made law can override that principle. The principles of seedtime and harvest, sowing and reaping, one man and one woman, and tithes and offerings cannot be altered by man. Below I am listing just a few verses that talk about money. Read them. Meditate on them. Let the Spirit of God speak to your heart. Do not approach these scriptures with the attitude of trying to prove them wrong. No. Gods Word is true. Read, believe, and receive. Scripture References: And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lords. It is holy to the Lord. (Leviticus 27:30) And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 8:18) Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness. (2 Corinthians 9:10) While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (Galatians 6:7) Dr. Larry Ollison Www.faithman.org
