TO GIVE AND BE GIVEN – LESSON 2
OFFERINGS
The Old Testament speaks much about bringing offerings to the house of God (Tabernacle or Temple). Some were animal offerings. They were used as burnt offerings to the Lord and as meat for the priests and Levites. Some were “meat” offerings of bread or harvest products.
In the New Testament, we see offerings being sent to churches in need. We also see churches sending offerings to Paul and other laborers with him to sustain his needs.
At one point in his ministry, Paul returned to Jerusalem. He later spoke about that in Acts 24:17, where he said, “Now after many years I came (to Jerusalem) to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.”
Offerings are different from alms. We spoke yesterday that alms were charitable gifts or helps for the needy. Offerings go to ministries to help them advance the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and its Christ.
Offerings and tithes are not the same thing. The tithe goes to your church or ministry from which you are being “fed” the word and perhaps have fellowship with other like-minded believers. Offerings may also go there above your tithe, perhaps for special things like certain projects, missions, or various designated purposes.
Offerings may also go to other missions, ministries, or charitable causes in which you believe and desire to help. Your tithe never goes there, only the offerings that are apart from your tithe.
The tithe is your duty or obligation to God. The offerings are over and above the tithe. Both are important. By giving offerings from your heart of love or compassion, God returns it to you in a variety of ways. Your “seed” multiplies.

GOD REWARDS FAITHFULNESS
So often in America we determine success by money, a big house, a new car, lots of clothing, a big church and lots of friends.
Unfortunately, that is not what God calls success. Success as defined by God is faithfulness. In the parables about the minas (pounds) and the talents, which are sums of money, (Luke 19:11-27 and Matthew 25:14-30) the individuals were given specific amounts of money to invest based on what He knew they could do with it. Each was given a certain amount according to their ability. Those that brought increase small or great were rewarded for their faithfulness, but those that buried theirs and didn’t use what was given lost what they had and were cast aside forever.
Whatever gift (talent, mina, pound) that God gifts us with we are to use it to bring increase. Some will bring more increase than others, according to their ability. When a church is small but has anointed services, that brings much more approval from God than a big church full of people but no anointing. Yes, a big church can also have an anointed service, but my point is this: do not determine success by the world’s standard of success. We measure it by God’s standard. He knows what each of us is capable of accomplishing.
Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t been another “Billy Graham”, or a wall street millionaire, or anyone else. Don’t be discouraged if you have a golden voice but you haven’t sold a million records or even made one recording. If you are faithful with what God gives you, you will receive your heavenly reward.
Be faithful in what God has given you and you will please Him more than a thousand talented people that were found unfaithful!

PROPHETIC WORD
SON OF PERDITION
I heard the Spirit say, “the son of perdition is soon to come on the scene, bringing with him a false peace. Do not be deceived.”
Many will follow after this son of perdition with his false peace, because they are not listening to the Holy Spirit. We must discern the times. For in this hour of lawlessness it has been a set up to bring this about. There are many things coming together as of this hour that will bring this to pass. The violence and the hatred in the streets are being used by the son of perdition. These things are all part of the plan to bring this about. The darkness will grow greater, but there will soon come a false light that brings false hope. Do not be deceived by this false light, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Again, I must say, that this false light will deceive many.
This is the time to enter into the secret place and listen, listen, listen. Don’t let your heart be troubled by this word, for we were born for such a time as this.
Watch therefore for the hour is at hand.

EXHORTATION
Very simply put when all around you is FAILING and FALLING; And there seems to be no real answers to all of life's problems. There’s so many things going on; From a bad Dr.’s report causing you not to know where to turn. Or perhaps you’ve been betrayed by someone you thought was a trusted friend; And now you’re finding out they were only a fair weather friend as they simply walked away when things got rough...And when you needed them the most. Then there’s others of you who have family that’s seems to be missing in action and they won’t even return your calls. Today’s just not a good day for some of you for it seems as if everyone is just too busy...Well for you that is. So now you’re sitting there crying out to God and seemingly nothing happens. The truth is you have never felt so all alone in all your life. Your job ran out, the money ran out; Now what else is there to do?? Jesus says to you...”Come to me, you who are tired from carrying life’s heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28) Just remember there is nothing too hard for God. (Jer. 32:17b) If you’ll only trust Him and believe. Have a super blessed Saturday; And believe in your heart that you’re about to experience not only a good day...But more importantly a GOD DAY is coming your way
