Читать книгу Blessed Generation (First Edition): Unveiling Jesus In The Tithe - Kenny Mokoena - Страница 9

If you read the bible in Deuteronomy 8:18 it says, “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…” I always thought that the word “power” refers to the ability to get results. I share a mystery with you today. What you need is not the ability to get results. As a Believer, ability, you already have. What you need is authority. Authority is power. When you have authority, no one can argue with you. Many people with great ability, but without authority, earn mediocre income and those with authority and less ability, run big businesses and employ those with great ability. The verse does not say that you shall remember the Lord so that he can give you the power to get wealth. It says that when you become wealthy, you shall remember the Lord. God does not want us to think that our strengths and the might of our hands have made us wealthy. God is the only one, through His Son, who can make us wealthy.

In Luke 4:6 the bible tells us that satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whoever I wish.” Unless the Church rises up and takes authority in Christ, satan will continue to control the wealth of the world and use it to cause confusion on the earth. When Jesus died on the cross, He claimed the authority back and gave it to us.

What we need, today, is to walk in it. This is what this book is all about. Wealth and riches are an inheritance for the Church but the Church must rise up and claim it by faith. After the lamb was sacrificed in Egypt, in Exodus 12, God executed judgment upon Pharaoh and caused him to deliver the wealth of Egypt to the children of Israel. The bible says that the children of Israel demanded from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. The Lord gave the children of Israel favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they demanded. Thus, they plundered the Egyptians (Exodus 12:35-36). This all happened after the lamb, a picture of Jesus, was sacrificed. This is how they received authority to demand the wealth of Egypt, with confidence and boldness.

If you want God to use you to impact and touch your generation with wealth and riches, this book is for you. If you want God to trust and use you as a steward and a vessel of honour for the harvest of souls, the message in this book will prepare you. If you are hungry for God and you want to develop an intimate relationship with the Lord, you are reading the right book.

The content of this book will equip you to break free from stress, anxiety, fear, debt and poverty. God is about to establish you as the commander of covenant end-time wealth. There is a treasure within you that is about to be unleashed. If you are planted in a local Church, and you want to be a pillar of your Church, the secret is in knowing who you are in Christ. If you love the word of God and you want to grow in the knowledge of God, soak yourself in the words of the New Testament.

This book is about the revelation of Jesus Christ and the grace of God. When you finish reading this book, you will know the truth about giving and you shall be set free. God wants His people to be free and to give to Him out of freedom and not out of bondage. Giving must be a delight, and if delight is missing, our giving cannot translate into worship. Delight is the secret ingredient that makes giving genuine. God is not looking for material things from us. He is looking for our hearts, the problem is that our hearts are too attached to things. This is the mother of all stress and anxiety. No one can truly worship God from a position of stress and anxiety.

This book is not about getting anyone to give or to tithe; although, after you have read the book you will most likely begin to tithe and give freely, if you are not doing so already. It is impossible for the light to shine and darkness remains. If you are already a giver and you tithe at your local Church, your heart will be filled with great joy and fulfilment as you read this book. The main objective of this book is to give you an understanding of grace-based giving as revealed in the scriptures.
