THE EPIDEMIC OF A CHURCH THAT DOESN’T HONOR GOD WITH GIVING

I. THE EPIDEMIC:
A CHURCH THAT REFUSES TO HONOR GOD THROUGH GIVING

Many Churches attempt to function spiritually while rejecting the biblical covenant of giving. They believe they can:

• Praise without sacrifice
• Worship without obedience
• Serve without stewardship
• Receive without releasing

This is a spiritual contradiction.
God is honored not only with our lips, but with our substance.

II. THE ROOT CAUSE:
WEAK PASTORAL LEADERSHIP

You identify a critical truth:
When Pastors do not give, they cannot teach giving.

A Pastor who refuses to tithe or give offerings:
• Weakens the sheep
• Produces a disobedient culture
• Models inconsistency
• Blocks the financial flow of the ministry
• Stands under the same curse he allows his people to live under

This is not merely a leadership flaw it is a spiritual failure.

III. THE CONSEQUENCE:
CURSES ON FINANCES

Pastors “cause those that they lead to have a curse on their finances including the Pastors.”

This is biblically accurate.
When giving is rejected:

• The covenant is broken
• The blessing is blocked
• The devourer is not rebuked
• The Church enters financial bo***ge
• The Pastor and congregation suffer together

This is not punishment, it is the natural result of disobedience.

IV. THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF “GOD WILL PROVIDE WITHOUT GIVING”

Some Church cultures teach that God will supply needs even if the Church refuses to give.
This is a dangerous deception.

God provides through:
• Obedience
• Covenant
• Sacrifice
• Stewardship

Not through spiritual entitlement.
Churches that reject giving often experience:
• Sickness
• Poverty
• Ministry stagnation
• Spiritual death
• Financial collapse

Not because God is cruel, but because they refuse His order.

V. THE EMERGENCE OF A BEGGAR CULTURE

Churches that do not give become beggars, not believers.

They pray for others to give to them instead of obeying God themselves.

This produces:
• A poverty mindset
• A dependency culture
• A spiritually immature congregation
• Leaders who drain others instead of leading others

“The blood of the people are on the hands of those Pastors and Leaders.”

This is Pastoral accountability at its highest level.

VI. SUMMARY:
A SPIRITUAL EPIDEMIC IN THE MODERN CHURCH

• Churches that worship but do not give
• Pastors who preach but do not tithe
• Leaders who weaken their flock
• Congregations trapped in poverty
• Ministries operating under financial curses
• Cultures that expect provision without obedience
• People suffering because leaders refuse to teach giving

This is not a financial issue — it is a spiritual epidemic.

HOLY COMMUNION • THE LORD'S SUPPER

Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, is a sacrament of the Church, not an independent spiritual activity. It belongs within the structure of local church order, pastoral oversight, and covenant fellowship.

A believer should receive Communion:

• At their own Church home, where they are taught, accountable, and spiritually covered.
• Or at a Church where they are under watch care, meaning they are temporarily submitted to that ministry’s pastoral oversight until full membership is established.

This protects the sacrament from becoming casual, unauthorized, or disconnected from the Body of Christ.

Why Communion Belongs in One’s Church Home

• Communion is a pastoral act, not a personal ritual.
• It is administered by those entrusted with sacramental authority.
• It requires doctrinal unity, spiritual accountability, and proper examination (1 Corinthians 11:28).
• It is part of the believer’s covenant identity within their local assembly.

Receiving Communion outside of one’s Church home—without covering—breaks the biblical pattern of order and oversight.

The Role of Watch Care

Watch care is a temporary covenant relationship where a believer:

• Is spiritually covered
• Is accountable to leadership
• Is permitted to participate in sacraments
• Is treated as part of the flock until full membership is completed

Under watch care, Communion is appropriate because the believer is not spiritually “unattached.”

Why Communion Should Not Be Taken Randomly

Without a Church home or watch care:

• There is no pastoral oversight
• No doctrinal alignment
• No accountability
• No spiritual examination
• No covenant relationship

This leads to the danger Paul warns about: “drinking damnation to yourself” (1 Corinthians 11:29).

Communion is not a private devotion, it is a corporate sacrament.

What About Believers Who Truly Have No Church Home?

If a believer has no Church home at all, they may receive Communion only:

• At a biblically sound Church
• Under pastoral authority
• With proper examination
• Until they establish covenant membership

This ensures the sacrament remains sacred, supervised, and doctrinally protected.

Holy Communion must be received:

• At one’s Church home,
• Or under watch care,
• Or temporarily at a biblically sound Church if no home exists.

Because Communion is:

• A covenant meal
• A pastoral act
• A sacrament of order
• A function of accountability
• A sign of belonging to the Body

Not a personal ritual performed anywhere at will.
