Hi John.
I have really been enjoying the next book that I started reading, “Tithes and Offerings.”*
One thing that stood out to me this morning was what you said about Malachi 3, where God commanded his people to bring their tithes and offerings to His storehouse.
God’s people we’re not allowed IN the storehouse. Only God’s servants, the Levites, etc., were allowed in that place in the temple. In other words, for God to ask the people to bring their tithes and offerings to the storehouse, was for Him to require something of them that they could not do! God’s servants had to do that part.
I always love it when man is taken out of God’s ways! Just as men have no part in giving the Holy Ghost (for it takes Jesus), so, men have no part in bringing tithes and offerings to God’s storehouse – not without a man whom God has anointed to receive them and get them there!
That was so good! We are not going to get around God, and we are not going to get around Jesus, and we are not going to get around the Holy Ghost, and we are not going to get around you. No Assembly anywhere is going to get around the pastor that God has given them. The best we can do is to do it God’s way. I just enjoyed that thought this morning. The way of truth is so true and good. Thanks for sharing these good, heavenly thoughts with us through your writings.
