Sermon by Pastor Kenny Last week

Title: You are a Commander, never a beggar!

Scripture reading: Acts 3: 7-8

Scripture reading: Ephesians 1:19-23

Every Christian who already born again has the same raising-from-the dead power on inside.

Honestly, this power is not out there in heaven some where as many people imagine or think. It is within you-in your born-again spirit. You do not need more power to do exploit for God, all you need to do is to believe that you already have it and begin to discover how it operates. You need to find out the laws that govern how the power of God works and then put them into practice.

When you get this revelation, your way of prayer life will definitely change. You will stop begging God by saying ‘O Lord, I am empty, I am nothing, I have nothing, come and move!

Instead, you will have a strong boldness from the Knowledge of who you are in Christ Jesus through His grace and faith in the Lord and say, ‘In myself, I am nothing, I do not have any virtue or worth based on my own human ability. But I am in covenant with you, Father. I am a brand-new creature, and in my born-again spirit, I have the same power that raised Jesus from dead. You said in your word that whom so ever I lay my hands on will be healed-and I believe it!’

Then you will get up and take your authority, and start commanding and releasing God’s power from inside of you.

When you know whom you are in Christ Jesus you will stop begging God, instead you will use the authority and power that already been given to you in your born-again spirit within you and see yourself as a commander never a beggar.

You will automatically stop confessing all the negativities that people in the world are confessing, because you are in the world but you are not of the world, you are a child of the living God, the Almighty God is living inside of you by His Spirit. He that is in you is more and greater than he that is in the world. Halleluyah!

From today, live and walk and talk as a commander because that is who you are in Christ Jesus. God had already given to you all you need in life in your born-again spirit. That is amazing grace.

The Grace of Giving

Just as you excel in everything else—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness . . . see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV)

Why does God want you to excel in the grace of giving? It’s because he influences the world through his people. God gives to you so he can give through you. The Bible tells us that everything we have is a gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14). As you give both faithfully and faith-fully, the world is changed for the glory of God: the gospel is preached, lives are touched, people are fed, bodies are healed, churches are built; and you, in turn, are blessed by God so that you can give again.

Tithes & Offerings

What is a tithe and how is it different from an offering? The word, “tithe” literally means tenth or 10%. A tithe is the first 10% of your income. An offering is anything you give above and beyond the 10%.

Why do we tithe? The Bible says: The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives. (Deuteronomy 14:23 TLB) Tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything we have. It is also God’s personal invitation to an outpouring of his blessing in your life.

In Malachi 3:10 (NLT), God says this: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” This is the only place in Scripture where God tells us to put him to the test. In other words, he’s saying, “Go ahead. I dare you. See if you can out-give me.”

Is God wise? Do you trust him? These are two fundamental questions behind the act of giving. If God is wise, then you should listen to what he says about financial stewardship. If you trust him, then you should trust him with all aspects of your life, including your finances. So go ahead. Accept God’s invitation to put him to the test. Start tithing faithfully and watch what he does in and through your life.
