TITLE: THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH
FIRST LESSON (LEVITICUS 27: 30-33)
The FIRST LESSON (Leviticus 27: 30-33) is a call by God through Moses to the Israelites to often remember to redeem their pledge by paying tithes regularly. God ordered the Israelites to pay the tithe of everything they have on the land, whether fruits from the trees they plant grain from the soil, because it belongs to God Almighty.
Song: (Yoruba: Ohun gbogbo ti mo ni o, tire ni se o Baba, ohun gbogbo ti mo ni o, tire ni se) Another song in Hymnal companion says, (All things bright and Beautiful, All Creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful that Lord God made them All…)
God has is the owner of the Universe. He own Riches and Wealth. He creates wealth as the Landlord of this Earth and Heaven. Therefore, He requires us to give just 10 percent of our earnings to the Levites for the upliftment of His works.
In the Book of Numbers 18:21; God said, “Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the tent of meeting…”.
In reality, the servants of God labour and toil day and night for the survival of members of the body of Christ. They fast and pray so that we could enjoy the fruits of our labour against evil forces and spiritual intruders. Therefore, it is important for us, as Christ followers to ensure that food is always on the table of Gods servants. Let us open the following verses to have a better understanding of the message. Deuteronomy 26:12, 2 Chronicles 31: Malachi 3:10.
I pray the God Almighty shall minister unto our hearts to be able to continue to do His will In Jesus name. Amen Celestial Church Hymn 537 says; those who do the will of God have nothing to fear on earth. “Ma Foya Ni Apa Jesu, Ko si ohun eru kan …” Brethren in Christ, you have no cause to fear the evil world, if you pay your tithes regularly and help the poor. Remember, there is nothing He cannot do. To be continued
