WHO ME? GOD NEEDS ME? YOUR PART IS NEEDED…

YOU DID NOT DO ANYTHING BUT FIND FAULT AND COMPLAIN! YOU DID NOT GIVE ME WATER? YOU DID NOT KISS ME? YOU DID NOT ANOINT MY HEAD? BUT SHE WASHED AND ANOINTED MY FEET FOR MY BURIAL…
Luke 7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
WHAT IS THE RELIGIOUS CROWD DOING? WHY TROUBLE THIS WOMAN? MARY DID NOT REALIZE WHAT SHE WAS DOING. SHE JUST WAS DOING WHAT SHE COULD, WHEN SHE COULD, WHERE SHE COULD. WHERE EVER THE GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED HER KIND, LOVING DEEDS WILL BE TAUGHT.
Matthew 26:10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Mark 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
My friend be faithful to your post of duty. Give what you can, where you can, when you can, YOU MAY NEVER BE THANKED BUT GOD REWARDS THE FAITHFUL.
DEAL OR NO DEAL? WE BELIEVE THAT BY GIVING AND RETURNING TO GOD HIS PART WE COME INTO A COVENANT AGREEMENT WITH HIM. WE OFTEN SEE MY PART IS SO LITTLE… 10% VERSES 90% AND GOD’S BLESSINGS IS FAR MORE THAN 100% AND A CURSE ON MY HANDS.
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
The gift of tithing is not just to meet the financial needs of the church. Tithing acknowledges and releases the COVENANT BLESSING OF GOD. Tithing breaks the bondage of money. Tithing breaks the bondage of never enough. Tithing breaks the POVERTY SPIRIT OFF PEOPLE’S NECK. God invites people TO PROVE HIS COVENANTAL BLESSINGS ARE MORE THAN PHYSICAL… GOD PROMISES TO OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN TO POUR OUT HIS BLESSINGS. God’s plan: 10% releases the COVENANTAL BLESSINGS OF GOD… Those that are faithful to giving will be BLESSED.
