TITHING IS NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY BUT RELATIONSHIP.
IF GOD DOESN'T CONTROL YOUR MONEY, HE DOESN'T CONTROL YOUR LIFE.
GOD MAKES A GREAT DEAL ABOUT MONEY BECAUSE MONEY IS A TEST, IT IS A HEART TEST.
MONEY IS THE SMALLEST THING GOD CAN TRUST A MAN WITH.
IF YOU ARE NOT FAITHFUL IN HANDLING MONEY, YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE ANOINTING OF GOD.

PASSING MONEY TEST
Bible Text: Matthew 6:21
One of the most controversial things in Church is the money message. There is no message people dread than the money message. A money message is not actually about money but your relationship with God.
God makes a great deal about money, we feel emphasis should not be made on money in Church. The new testament contains 215 verses pertaining to faith, 218 verses pertaining to salvation, 2084 verses dealing with stewardship and accountability of money. God makes a great deal about money because money is a test, it is a heart test. The way you handle your money has a lot to do with your priority, your love and your character.
Money message is not about your money or my money but about relationship. whoever controls your money controls a major portion of your life. If God doesn't control your money, He doesn't control your life. Matthew 6:21 Your heart is connected to your treasure. If you want to know where your heart has been going, find out where your treasure has been going.
Money is the smallest thing God can trust a man with. Luke 16:11 True riches are spiritual things that are greater than money, what money cannot buy -anointing, power of God, wisdom of God, the miraculous, the supernatural.
If you are not faithful in handling money, you cannot handle the anointing of God.
Money represent your life. Your life is made up of time -seconds, weeks, months. Time is a measure of life. So working is spending your life. If you work 8am-5pm for 5 days that is 45 hours of your life per week and in one month that is 1800 hours and you are paid #250,000 -so this is the measure of your life in month. If you don't use part to serve God, you didn't give your life. God says give me 10% of your life as tithe.
According to Malachi 3:6-7 Tithing is not all about money but relationship. Ordinances in the context of this scripture refers to tithing. So God says return to me and I will return to you, they said how do we come to you? In verse 8 God says you will return by stopping to rob, bring your tithes and offerings.
