Admin	My paycheck from GOD !!! (LITV) So also the Lord ordained those proclaiming the gospel to live from the gospel. Posted : 14 Jun, 2014 07:18 AM Hello everyone: (LITV) So also the Lord ordained those proclaiming the gospel to live from the gospel. Hmmmmm,i have a problem with people making the Gospel the means of having paycheck . There are many men and women raking in 6 & 7 figure PAYCHECKS,for ONLY TALKING in front of others. Most of these have no idea what the Gospel is,nor have they been EMPOWERED of the Holy Spirit to be teaching. I believe the Scripture i posted should be understood as, How i live my life should be taken from the GOSPEL. The Gospel is freely RECEIVED, and should be FREELY GIVEN. TOO many people calling themselves senior pastor,pastor, teachers,etc. are telling the SHEEPLE they(The sheeple ) need to be TITHING, in order for GOD Almighty to bless them. Yet these men and women are actually skimming their PAYCHECK from off of the top of the tithings of the people. When will these men and women actually begin to believe that GOD Almighty will provide for them,according to His riches in Glory in CHRIST. Shalom Post Reply

Posted : 14 Jun, 2014 09:33 PM Hi George, Here is my response to your question 45 pages back: 1 Corinthians 9:14 states that, "...the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should LIVE of the gospel." In other words, preachers should be paid to preach! Where does this money come from? In Galatians Paul tells us, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things" (Galatians 6:6 - this can be better understood from another translation: "And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches" . We see this same concept again in 1 Timothy 5:17-18 where Paul writes, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." Therefore, we should be giving to support those who teach us faithfully. In 1 Corinthians 16:1-4, Paul tells the Corinthians that each man should set aside a sum of money on the first day of every week, "as God hath prospered him", for a collection to be taken to help the saints in Jerusalem. He follows up on this subject in 2 Corinthians 8, where he explains how the Macedonians gave overwhelmingly, even though they were impoverished; and the Macedonians' giving was marked by their joy, and the feeling that it was a privilege to be able to give. Thus, he encouraged the Corinthians to make good on their promise to give. So we see, this giving was due to a promise made of their own volition, not a legalistic method of tithing. "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." Christians should give out of the willingness of their heart, and thanksgiving :applause:to and reverence for God, both for who He is and for the blessings He has bestowed upon them. Giving is done in response to the good teachings which Christians receive, to support those who teach, and to support saints in need. By following these teachings, and the examples set by New Testament Christians, we may always give willingly and joyfully, and please God with what we have and bring to offer. Post Reply
