Divine Exchange

 



An example of divine exchange only through Jesus: Cast all your cares upon Him and be thankful and He will give you rest in your heart and mind.

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7.

Another example often overlooked by "legalistic" churches is that God does not expect us to live a life of poverty and that he will supply for our needs in abundance.

2 Corinthians 8:9 "Although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you could become rich through his poverty." Some will say that this applies to spiritual life but if you read it in context, the whole chapter is about finances.

This is backed up by Philippians 4:19, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." and 2 Corinthians 9:8, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work."

God's economy is like a continuously flowing river. He will supply you with everything you need but if you put a dam in that river, the supply will dry up. You need to let it flow. When God gives to you He will give you extra to supply to the poor, the widowed and orphans and assistance to grow in the Spirit and spread the gospel. "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38).

No religion offers a solution to life's problems except faith in Jesus.

The Bible - Handbook to Life

  Some say that life didn’t come with a manual but it did. The Holy Bible is your handbook to life from beginning to end. Not only that but it gives you all the answers to where you came from, why everything happens in the world and what happens to you in the next world. In this brief article, I will show you why it is the only authority to be trusted, how it can be used to test and prove all things and how the Bible can change your life forever. Take hold of your Bible, your handbook to life, and follow me through as we take a look at it together. What is the Bible? The Bible is not one book, it is a collection of 66 books and letters. These books were written by different authors over a period of at least 1,400 years. However, all these books tie together and provide one central message, the Kingdom of God and your part in it. Without going into too much technical detail, the books in our Bibles were translated from ancient manuscripts. You can view a complete list of versions and h

Tithing - Is it a requirement?

 A Tithe = a tenth. Although Jesus makes a reference to the tithe of the priests (Matthew 23:23), the tithe is only mentioned in detail in the Old Testament. Never is any reference to a tithe made in relation to the Christian believer under the New Covenant. A tithe is first mentioned when Abram gave a tenth of his spoils of war to a Melchizedek, a Priest-King of righteousness and peace. This was a one-off offering given without pressure or commandment. These were not his own possessions, increase or earnings but plunder taken from others (Heb 7:4). In fact, Abram also returned the rest of the spoils back to the Kings he took them from so that they could not say that they had made him rich. Jacob also volunteered a tenth of all God gave to him. Both Jacobs and Abrams's gifts of a tithe were voluntary and never commanded or compelled by God or anyone else. There were 4 main tithe laws in the Old Testament: A tithe to the Levites as their inheritance as they had no land allocated to
