הפרק 17
את אלה דבר ישוע וישא עיניו השמימה ויאמר אבי הנה באה השעה פאר את בנך למען גם בנך יפארך׃
2 כאשר נתת לו השלטן על כל בשר למען יתן חיי עולמים לכל אשר נתת לו׃
3 ואלה הם חיי העולמים לדעת אתך אשר אתה לבדך אל אמת ואת ישוע המשיח אשר שלחת׃
4 אני פארתיך בארץ כליתי פעלך אשר צויתני לעשות׃
5 ועתה פארני אתה אבי עמך בכבוד אשר היה לי עמך טרם היות העולם׃
6 את שמך הודעתי לבני האדם אשר נתתם לי מתוך העולם לך היו ולי נתת אתם ואת דברך נצרו׃
7 ועתה ידעו כי כל אשר נתת לי מעמך הוא׃
8 כי הדברים אשר נתת לי נתתי להם והם קבלום ויכירו באמת כי מעמך יצאתי ויאמינו כי אתה שלחתני׃
9 אני בעדם אעתיר לך לא בעד העולם אעתיר כי אם בעד אלה אשר נתת לי כי לך המה׃
10 וכל אשר לי לך הוא ושלך שלי ונתפארתי בהם׃
11 ואני אינני עוד בעולם והם בעולם המה ואני בא אליך אבי הקדוש נצר בשמך את אשר נתתם לי למען יהיו אחד כמנו׃
12 בהיותי עמהם בעולם אני נצרתי אתם בשמך את אשר נתתם לי שמרתי ולא אבד מהם איש זולתי בן האבדון למלאת דבר הכתוב׃
13 ועתה הנני בא אליך ואלה אני מדבר בעולם למען תמלא להם שמחתי בקרבם׃
14 אני נתתי להם את דברך והעולם שנא אתם יען כי לא מן העולם המה כאשר גם אנכי לא מן העולם אני׃
15 ולא אעתיר לך אשר תקחם מן העולם רק שתצרם מן הרע׃
16 מן העולם אינמו כאשר גם אנכי אינני מן העולם׃
17 קדש אתם באמתך דברך אמת הוא׃
18 כאשר אתה שלחת אתי אל העולם כן גם אני שלחתי אתם אל העולם׃
19 והתקדשתי בעדם למען יהיו גם הם מקדשים באמת׃
20 אולם לא לבד בעד אלה אנכי מעתיר לך כי אם גם בעד המאמינים בי על פי דברם׃
21 למען יהיו כלם אחד כאשר אתה אבי בי אתה ואני בך והיו גם המה בנו כאשר למען יאמין העולם כי אתה שלחתני׃
22 ואני נתתי להם את הכבוד אשר נתת לי למען יהיו אחד כאשר אנחנו אחד נחנו׃
23 אני בהם ואתה בי למען יהיו משלמים לאחד ולמען ידע העולם כי אתה שלחתני ואהבת אתם כאשר אהבתני׃
24 אבי חפצתי כי גם הם אשר נתתם לי יהיו עמי באשר אהיה אני למען יחזו את כבודי אשר נתת לי כי אהבתני לפני מוסדות עולם׃
25 אבי הצדיק הן העולם לא ידעך ואני ידעתיך ואלה הכירו כי אתה שלחתני׃
26 ואני הודעתים את שמך ואוסיף להודיעם למען תהיה בם האהבה אשר אהבתני ואני אהיה בהם׃

"Jesus Prays for Himself
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Hebrews:
1 לכן גם אנחנו אשר ענן עדים רב כזה סבב אתנו נשליכה ממנו כל טרח והחטא המקיף עלינו ונרוצה בתוחלת את המרוצה הערוכה לפנינו׃
2 ונביטה אל ישוע ראש האמונה ומשלימה אשר בעד השמחה השמורה לו סבל את הצלב ויבז החרפה וישב לימין כסא האלהים׃
3 התבוננו אליו אשר נשא כלמת חטאים גדולה כזאת למען לא תיעפו ולא תיגעו בנפשותיכם׃
4 עדין לא עמדתם עד לדם במלחמתכם עם החטא׃
5 ותשכחו דבר הנחומים המדבר אליכם כמו אל בנים לאמר מוסר יהוה בני אל תמאס ואל תקץ בתוכחתו׃
6 כי את אשר יאהב יהוה יוכיח יכאב את בן ירצה׃
7 אם סבלים אתם מוסר דעו כי כאב עם בניו כן מתנהג אלהים עמכם כי איה הבן אשר אביו לא ייסרנו׃
8 אך אם תהיו באין מוסר אשר היה מנת כלם אז ממזרים אתם ולא בנים׃
9 ועוד אם אבות בשרנו היו מיסרים אתנו ונירא מהם אף כי נכנע לפני אבי הרוחות ונחיה׃
10 כי המה יסרונו כטוב בעיניהם לימים מעטים אבל זה להועיל למען יהיה לנו חלק בקדשתו׃
11 וכל מוסר בעת עברו עלינו איננו שמחה בעינינו כי אם יגון אולם באחריתו יתן פרי שלום לצדקה למלמדים בו׃
12 על כן חזקו ידים רפות וברכים כשלות׃
13 ומעגל רגליכם פלסו למען לא תטה הצלעה מן הדרך כי אם תרפא׃
14 רדפו את השלום עם כל אדם ואת הקדשה אשר בלעדיה לא יראה איש את האדון׃
15 והזהרו פן יש בכם איש מתאחר מחסד אלהים פן יוגיעכם שרש פרה לענה ויטמאו בו רבים׃
16 פן ימצא בכם זנה או חלל כעשו אשר בנזיד אחד מכר את בכורתו׃
17 הלא ידעתם כי גם נמאס אחרי כן כאשר רצה לרשת את הברכה כי לא מצא מקום לתשובה אף בקש אותה בדמעות׃
18 כי לא באתם אל הר נמשש ובער באש ולא אל ענן וערפל וסערה׃
19 ולא לקול שופר ולקול הדברים אשר שמעיו בקשו שלא יוסיף לדבר עמהם עוד׃
20 כי לא יכלו לשאת את אשר צוו ואם בהמה תגע בהר סקל תקסל או ירה תירה בחצים׃
21 והמראה היה נורא עד מאד ויאמר משה יגרתי וחרדתי׃
22 כי אם באתם אל הר ציון ואל עיר אלהים חיים אל ירושלים שבשמים׃
23 ואל עצרת רבבות המלאכים ועדת הבכורים הכתובים בשמים ואל אלהים שפט הכל ואל רוחות הצדיקים הנשלמים׃
24 ואל ישוע סרסר הברית החדשה ואל דם ההזאה המיטיב דבר מדם הבל׃
25 לכן ראו פן תמאנו לשמע אל המדבר כי הן לא נמלטו המאנים לשמע אל המדבר עמהם בארץ אף אנחנו אם נמאן לשמע בקול המדבר מן השמים׃
26 אשר קולו הרעיש אז את הארץ ועתה זה הבטיח לאמר עוד אחת ואני מרעיש לא לבד את הארץ כי גם את השמים׃
27 וזו עוד אחת שאמר משמיע חליפת הנרעשים אשר הם עשוים למען יעמד אשר איננו נרעש׃
28 לכן אנחנו המקבלים מלכות אשר לא תמוט נבאה נא בתודה ונעבד בה את האלהים לרצון לו בצניעות וביראה׃
29 כי אלהינו אש אכלה הוא׃
English:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
God Disciplines His Children
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Warning and Encouragement
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.
The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy
You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Jesus' instructions was go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. He didn't say go and make babies disciples and christen them. Babies cannot sin. They cannot repent! We no longer live in the Old Testament but in the New Testament - under grace! Not even once in the Bible is it stated that babies must be christened. Jesus was baptized when He was 30 years old and not as a baby! Wherever the disciples went, they told the people to repent and to be baptized.
Matthew 28:19: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Baptism is a public display where you repent from your sins and where you commit your life to follow Jesus. The old life is gone and the new life has begun. You no longer belong to this world. Baptism is obeying Jesus' command.
To be a Born Again Christian you need to:
1. Repent: Turn your back on sin and ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life.
2. Baptism: You enter the water as a sinner and you come out of the water as a new person who's sins are washed away. You are a new person under grace!
Babies cannot do it. It is a false doctorine!!

he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation."
Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I come to you and ask you to forgive me for my sins. I surrender my life to you. Come into my life and guide me. Show me your will and not my will. In Jesus Name Amen!!

Hebrews:
הפרק 4
ועתה מה נאמר על אברהם אבינו מה זה השיג לפי הבשר׃
2 כי אם נצדק אברהם מתוך המעשים לו התהלה אך לא לפני האלהים׃
3 כי הכתוב מה הוא אמר והאמן אברהם ביהוה ויחשבה לו צדקה׃
4 הנה הפעל לא יחשב לו שכרו על פי החסד כי אם על פי החוב׃
5 אבל לאשר איננו פעל כי אם מאמין במצדיק את הרשע אמונתו תחשב לו לצדקה׃
6 כאשר גם דוד מאשר את האדם אשר האלהים יחשב לו צדקה בלא מעשים באמרו׃
7 אשרי נשוי פשע כסוי חטאה׃
8 אשרי אדם לא יחשב יהוה לו עון׃
9 ועתה האשור הזה העל המילה הוא אם גם על הערלה הלא אמרנו כי לאברהם נחשבה אמונתו לצדקה׃
10 ואין נחשבה לו אם בהיותו מהול או בעודנו ערל הן לא בהיותו מהול כי אם בערלתו׃
11 ואות המילה קבל לחותם צדקת האמונה אשר היתה לו בערלתו להיות לאב לכל המאמינים והם ערלים למען אף להם תחשב הצדקה׃
12 ולהיות לאב גם למולים אך לא לאשר הם נמולים לבד כי אם גם הלכים בעקבות האמונה שהיתה לו לאברהם בעודנו בערלתו׃
13 כי לא על ידי תורה באה ההבטחה לאברהם ולזרעו להיותו ירש העולם כי אם על ידי צדקת האמונה׃
14 כי אלו לבני התורה הירשה האמונה לריק תהיה וההבטחה בטלה׃
15 כי התורה מביאה קצף כי באשר אין תורה גם אין שם עברה׃
16 על כן מתוך אמונה למען לפי חסד למען תחיה ההבטחה קימת לכל זרעו לא לבני התורה לבדם כי גם לבני אמונת אברהם אשר הוא אב לכלנו׃
17 ככתוב כי אב המון גוים נתתיך והוא האמין בהביט אל אל המחיה את המתים והקורא את אשר לא היה כמו הוה׃
18 באשר אין תקוה קוה ויאמן למען אשר יהיה לאב המון גוים כמו שנאמר כה יהיה זרעך׃
19 ולא רפתה אמונתו ולא התבונן אל גופו שכבר נפוג בהיותו כבן מאת שנה ואל בלות רחם שרה׃
20 ולא חלק לבו בהבטחת האלהים כחסר האמונה כי אם התחזק באמונתו ויתן כבוד לאלהים׃
21 וידע בלבב שלם כי את אשר הבטיח גם יכל לעשותו׃
22 על כן גם נחשבה לו לצדקה׃
23 ולא לבד למענו כתובה זאת שנחשבה לו׃
24 כי אם גם למעננו אשר עתידה להחשב לנו המאמינים במי שהעיר את ישוע אדנינו מן המתים׃
25 אשר נמסר בעבור פשעינו ונעור לבעבור צדקנו׃
English:
"The Faith of Abraham
Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:
“Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sins are put out of sight.
Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”
Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!
Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God."
"The Collection for Christians in Jerusalem
I really don’t need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem. For I know how eager you are to help, and I have been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in Greece were ready to send an offering a year ago. In fact, it was your enthusiasm that stirred up many of the Macedonian believers to begin giving.
But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don’t want to be wrong in my boasting about you. We would be embarrassed—not to mention your own embarrassment—if some Macedonian believers came with me and found that you weren’t ready after all I had told them! So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.
Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!"

Jesus is the Great I AM!!
John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 11:25: "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."
John 8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 15:5-8: "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father."
John 10:11: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep."

Luke 12:24: "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"
Start reading His Word!! Meditate on the Word of God day and night!! Spend time with Jesus and speak to Him!! He will hear you!!
Philippians 4:7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
When you give your life to Jesus, He will come and live inside you with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and that means:
1 John 4:4-6: "Because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
And you are also protected by His blood!! You have the Jesus mark on you....the cross!! And no weapon formed against you shall prosper!!
Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper."
Put your focus on Jesus and not on this world or your circumstances!!
Nehemiah 8:10: "For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Tithes and offererings are very important!! It is not about to get the preacher rich. But it is all about obedience!! As a Born Again Believer the most important thing in our lives are to be obedient!! Obey God at all times!!
Malachi 3:10: "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that there will not be room enough to store it."
Tithing come with a reward when you obey God!! We expect God to give and give and give but what are you willing to give back to God? Remember it is between you and God and not you, God and the preacher!!
Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
You cannot reap what you do not sow!! You cannot expect a harvest and do not sow!! It does not work like that!!
Leviticus 27:30: “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord."
Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine."
It is so important to obey God!! Do not listen to what the world says. Do what God said is right and you will be rewarded!!
Malachi 3:8 : "Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions."
By not tithing you are robbing God!!
Abraham is a example of tithing and God blessed Abraham!!
Genesis 14:18-20: "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything."
Luke 16:10: “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much."
2 Corinthians 9:6: "The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
And it is God's command that those who are preaching the Gospel should get their living from the Gospel!!
1 Corinthians 9:14: "In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel."
Proverbs 11:24-25: "Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed."
When you tithe God will reward you!!
Isaiah 30:23: "Then He will give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground, And bread of the increase of the earth; It will be fat and plentiful."
Obey God by sowing. You will reap what you sow!! If you sow big, you will reap big. But if you don't sow on what the word is telling you, you will lose everything!! And you cannot expect a harvest when there is famine in the land!!
And this is why we sow.... 2 Corinthians 9:10: "For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you."
Be obedient!! Do what the Word of God says and not the world!! The world's opinion doesn't matter, but God's oponion!!
