3 John 1:2

God never gives back the amount you sow. Get ready for out of bound overflowing kind of blessing to your way. Be expecting.
The people criticising this will ask you to tone down.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
Jesus became poor at the cross.
Prosperity is a tool. We ℓσνє God and use money.
Hebrews 5:10-12
called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,” of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
Spiritual Immaturity
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
In the Hebrew, Melchizedek is quoted 3 times
Melchizedek priesthood is nothing but blessing and blessing
The blessing that follows when you understand
Today’s message is for people who are eating solid food.
A generous heart derive where you are
One of Pastor’s dear friend in Israel was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor said even with treatment he also would not be well. He ℓσνє the part where Pastor wrote on the book of Holy Communion. Eating the roasted lamb. None feeble among the tribe.
See our Melchizedek bringing the bread and the wine.
1 Corinthians 11:26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Blessed be Abraham of the most high God
Christ has ransomed us from the curse
When Jesus is the High Priest, Abraham was not under the law.
A time where the Lord’s supper has been used by the church
Genesis 14:23
that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’—
I don’t want to be a lucky person i want to be a blessed person
Hebrew word for tithe is maaser
Aser is the word rich. The rich is in the tithe
Abraham said because he did not want the devil to receive the credit when God make him rich. He knew God will make him rich.
The rich is in the tithe.
We don’t tithe to be rich but i warn you that you will be rich
Hebrews 7:4
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
The One you give the tithe to is greater than you
Who you tithe to is demonstrating who is great in your life. Who is the source of all your blessing
We tithe to demonstrate how great He is
Hebrews 7:8-10
Here mortal men receive (Present passive participle) tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Mortal man received tithes and there in heaven, Jesus receives them
Present tenses means Hs is still receiving it.
When you tithe there will he evidence in your life that He is alive in your life
Heavenly Joseph has been feeding the world
In the second coming of Jesus, all Israel will recognise Him
Wagons of blessings to bring the father
Genesis 45:26-28
And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” And Jacob’s heart stood still, because he did not believe them. But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. Then Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
They won’t believe until they see
He saw the wagon of blessings from his son
When he did not believe his name was Jacob
When he believed, his name became Israel (means Prince)
Our Jesus is alive!
God is a respecter of no man.
Grace is Melchizedek. Law is Levi
Levi was in Abraham tithing to Melchizedek
Jews are abt 0.2% of the world but they are the beneficiaries
There is something about the Lord’s supper and about tithing
It is ok to watch your diet and exercise, but put your trust in redemption
Creation has fallen
You can eat your way out of this. From redemption and not creation
The Lord’s supper proclaim His death
Tithing proclaim He is alive!
Give praise to your Melchizedek!
