Malachi 3:7-10
Ever since the days of your ancestors, you have
scorned my laws and failed to obey them. Now return to me, and I will
return to you,” says the LORD Almighty. “But you ask, ‘How can we return
when we have never gone away?’ “Should people cheat God? Yet you have
cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat
you?’ “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me.You are
under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all
the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my
Temple. If you do,” says the LORD Almighty, “I will open the windows of
heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have
enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you! Your crops
will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your
grapes will not shrivel before they are ripe,” says the LORD Almighty.
“Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a
delight,” says the LORD Almighty.
There have been many teachings
on this scripture and we have heard verses 8-9 with a strong emphasis on
verse 8, as we’d prepared to give our tithes and offerings. We were
also informed that if we failed to fulfill our giving obligations, then
we were under a curse. Well, I was listening to a word I gave on 6-14-09
on the healing stream media network’s broadcast “Winds of Worship” and
towards the end, the Lord said, “I am exposing even the lies about
tithing. I am bringing truth so that my people can be free. For even as
the words have been spoken by these false ones, they have force my
people and manipulated my people to give into their kingdoms and said
that it was of me. I will expose it! My people shall be free
financially. Every cent! Every cent! Every dollar and every cent, that
was put into these little kingdoms. There is divine retribution coming
to my people. For every cent, every dollar, that was placed into these
little kingdoms, it shall be giving back to you says God. I am causing
them to repay it this night. I am requiring them to give it back! For
many! Many on this earth have houses, have lands, and cars dishonestly.
It is not the blessing of the Lord and I am exposing it and I am
requiring them to give every cent and every dollar back. Now Angels!
Here the word of the Lord. Go Forth Now! Go Forth! Go Forth and make
sure every thieving spirit, every robbing spirit, give back every cent
and every dollar to the people of God.”
It was while I was
cooking that God revealed the truth as He promised. You are not under a
curse when you don’t give your tithes and offerings! I can hear many of
you saying right now “WHAT”! That’s right! You are not under a curse for
not giving your tithes and offerings. I hear many saying as well, “But
the bible says very clearly that you have cheated or robbed me and
because of that you are under a curse!” I hear what you saying but
that’s what we have been taught to believe and the bible does not say
that. The focus has been placed on verse 8-9 for so long that nobody
really took the time to read verse 7.
If we would have stopped
our religious rhetoric for a minute and looked at verse 7, we would have
clearly seen the cause for being under a curse. God said, “Ever since
the days of your ancestors, you have scorned (to turn aside, depart) my
laws and failed to obey them.” God makes it very clear that what put His
people under a curse was their continual departing of His laws or
commands and continual disobedience to his commands. Deuteronomy
30:19-20 says, “Today I have given you the choice between life and
death, between blessings and curses. I call on heaven and earth to
witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, that you
and your descendants might live! Choose to love the LORD your God and to
obey him and commit yourself to him, for he is your life. Then you will
live long in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob.” You see, what causes them to be under a curse was
their decision to continually violate this scripture.
So if you
were every told that you were under a curse, I just free you right in
the name of Jesus. I pray that you just simply follow His voice and be
obedient to whatever He is tell you to do. The bible says that when we
give, it should not be under compulsion ( necessity, imposed either by
the circumstances, or by law of duty regarding to one’s advantage,
custom, argument, calamity, distress, straits) but of your own free will
(Philemon 1:14). In other words, you have the freedom to be lead by the
Spirit of God and not man. So, expect a return of what was unlawfully
taken from you. I decree and declare that the manipulation in this area
of your life is over and that you are free to listen to your Father and
be lead by His Spirit of Truth in Jesus name, Amen! Glory!
