yes of course that is right on brother leon



ephesians 5:2 says Jesus is that sweet aroma, the sweetest sacrifice of all!



this scripture from Numbers is a perfect illustration, a forerunner to Christ!



Praise God for His precious word!



love ever so gratefully to Jesus barbara ann

There is an interesting focus in the book of NUMBERS on the offerings God asked the people to make.(Numbers 15:1-16)

He stated that whatever was sacrificed had to be done in a precise manner.

For example if you offered a bull and could afford it you had to offer it with a certain amount of oil,grain and wine.

And God wanted the best bull,the best lamb,the best grain.

Not the bull who was wobbly and weak or the lamb who was lame.

The reason for this all was that God was ordaining these sacrifices with precise amounts because this sacrifice was about obeying God.

Remember Aaron's sons when they used creative license with the "special offering"?

What happened to them?

God wants our offering to be pure,from a good heart and obedience.

And as for the offerings themselves,

he said if you offer a bull

if you offer a lamb

if you offer grain

He knows how little or how much we have

and what we can afford and cannot



God looks at our hearts and motives

all these will be "sweet smelling aromas" to God

Yes i do believe in the ten percent tithe to my church

and I know that we have to offer up other things sacrificially

but THIS IS ALL A FORM OF WORSHIP

HOW WE SHOULD LOVE TO GIVE THIS TO OUR GOD

WHO GAVE SO MUCH FOR US

This is what I am learnng

The Holy Spirit is a very good teacher

and i thirst and yearn for His words and counsel daily



God bless all of you

It is a marvelous idea and God knows what you need to do this.

I will pray for you sister

Hi,

Though I do not know the pain of divorce, I will keep you in prayer,and your daughter.

God has told us that He will heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.

And He is faithful and merciful.

Try not to be a superwoman, only God knows how much you can handle.

Trust Him and place each day in His hands.

Will keep you in prayer

Hi Lydia,

I know we are supposed to be in the new covenant but in the ten percent issue I have always felt that it is a good place to start.

I am not such a good example of this either and I am being brutally honest.

Sometimes the most honored gifts I can give to God are my time and what little finances I havce.

I do believe He honors that.

But if you do feel in your heart to use the ten percent as a guideline He will bless you and more so ,because He says,"Give and it shall be given to you,over and above...........

You can never outgive God.

and i do not think He is holding atwo by four to clonk ya with if you do not give ten percent either

God honors a giver who gives from the heart from right motives and He desires mercy and not sacrifice....

whatcha think people?
