Watch Your Wealth - My Jewels

Watch Your Wealth - My Jewels Written by Dawid Fourie

Mal 3:16 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.

Often through the years the church used Malachi to get or condemn to get money from people. It was always said what the people did wrong, and hardly every was it said what the reward will be if you do give. Needless to say, that the church were always poor.

In this chapter the bible say that we should not rob God, and then it says that we should give. About 99% of the time that is where the sermon about money stopped. How wrong was it! If you read this whole chapter it states that we rob God because we do not give our tithe. But that is only half the truth. The truth is that we rob God from publicly declaring us as His jewels. To show the world that we are His and that He has blessed us because we give to Him. So if we do not give, we don’t rob God of our tithe, we rob Him because He can not bless us the way He wants to, but much more than this we rob ourselves from the blessing of God by not giving.

Often circumstances happen, as they do, and we need to make up our minds as to how and when we will give of what we have in order to get what God wants to give us. This is sometimes not as easy as it sounds. And more often than what people want, they tend to do exactly what they did not want by paying of debts instead of paying their tithes, offerings and donations. Never are they generous when it comes to giving.

God is a giver, and if we want to have as much as God, we must give. This is the time to give, not what you can afford to give but what you cannot afford to give. Give beyond measure and receive beyond what you have expected, imagined or dreamed of. Written by Dawid Fourie
