Now, if ever, it is important TO YOU that you are faithful
in paying God His tithe of your income. Now we face a time when
many would reason in their own minds that "they cannot afford to
tithe." But the tithe of your income is NOT YOURS--it belongs
to GOD.
It is not a matter of voluntary GIVING of charity. God does
not need your charity. But He DEMANDS what is HIS--that you pay
His FIRST tenth of all your increase to Him, for His Work. And
then God PROMISES you a FINANCIAL blessing.
The nine-tenths you have left will then be MORE than the
original ten-tenths if you keep it all for yourself, stealing
from God what He says is rightfully HIS.
The Bible uses the word "increase." Whatever increase you
have COMES FROM THE GROUND. The earth and the fulness thereof
belongs to GOD. It is HIS. He allows you to reap an increase
from it. Whether you are a farmer or a salaried person or a wage
earner, all increase comes originally from God's EARTH.
When you are honest and faithful in PAYING to God's Work what
is HIS, He promises He will "open for you the windows of heaven, and
pour you out a (financial) blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it."
THAT IS GOD'S PROMISE! And He says "prove me now herewith"
whether that is not so (Malachi 3:9-10.)
Those who do NOT believe God and obey Him, but STEAL from Him
his first tenth of your income, are going to really suffer
financially in the months and perhaps years immediately ahead!
Few people will BELIEVE God--and fewer yet will obey Him.
Adam and Eve did not believe God and they disobeyed Him--and we
have all suffered because of their disbelief and rebellion. No
one but Noah believed God before the Flood. Look what happened
to them! Jesus came with the most important Message of all time
from God. He preached before many thousands. Yet only 120 believed
what He said (Acts 1:15). Very few will believe God today (the
BIBLE is His Word).
We have entered a time of TROUBLE! The present financial
squeeze, with its skyrocketing inflation, unbearable interest
rates and other troubles, is ONLY THE BEGINNING!
FAR WORSE THINGS ARE GOING TO STRIKE THE U.S. AND BRITISH
PEOPLES!
Brethren, I have been LEADING you, under Jesus Christ's
direction, for the past 47 years. I have not misled you and I
am not misleading you now. NEVER, for your own sake, has it
been so necessary that you be HONEST in paying God, through His
Work, His first tenth of your income. He will not bless you in
the troubles ahead if you STEAL from Him!
The time has come for PLAIN SPEAKING! There is now real
