Just remember, i love you.

I love you (Christian platonic love)

There are actually many reasons.

1. Nature. We were once in the world living in rebellion to the ways of God. we lived in disobedience to every laid down injunction. We got so used to living like that, so much so that, now that we are told to live differently, it becomes difficult.

We got use to hearing lies that we believe lies to be truth, now that we here the truth, we see ourselves fighting to believe it.

2. Ignorance to God's Ways.
As a believer, what do you really know about the Christ you believe in? Do you know him for yourself or what others (Your pastor) says about Him?

There are two sides to Christ.
a) The Life of Christ
b) The Principles of Christ.

Do you know what these are?

When you become born again, you receive the Life of Christ into your spirit, but you still need to live and execute your assignment on earth, as everyone of us is here to fulfill one. Now, for you to do that, you need to apply the principles of Christ in order to succeed.

If you know the Principles of Christ, are you applying them correctly and consistently?

3. What kind of a Christian are you? as Christ says, there are 4types of Christians in Church.

a) The Wayside Christians: This hear the Word, get excited, receive it, but as they leave the church, they forget what they heard and continue their lives as before. No change.

b). The Rocky Christians: These ones go to church with a preconceived mindset. Their minds are already made up as to what they believe about a particular precept or ordinance. The Holy Spirit can not work with these ones. So no matter what the Word says, it won't penetrate.

c). The Thorny Christians: These ones are in church for the wrong reasons. They hear the word, but the pleasures of life and the desire for wanton riches will not allow them stay away from indulging in wrong ways to make money. The word cannot grow in them no matter how long they last in church. They hear, but no growth.

d). The Good soil Christian: These are the only sets of Christians who hear the word of God, they keep it in their hearts.

Luke:8:15
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

The Key word here is Patience.

Are you patient or you are in hurry? If it doesn't happen now now, then it's not God?

4. Laziness or Sowing on a wrong soul.
Have you as a christian discovered your calling on earth?
When you hear 'Calling' what comes to your mind? Do you think Calling must be to become a Pastor? No. You can be called to be a doctor. In time, God will need you to offer your medical services to his Kingdom, when he needs you will be available?
But, what if you are suppose to be a doctor but you are a trader, do you think God will bless your trade? No. When God calls you, He equips you, and He is not committed to what He has not commanded. God will not lower his standards to our level, He raises us up to his standard when we yield to Him.

Okay, but what if you know your calling but won't get off your butt to work? Do you think God will just spring it up on you and you'll become rich?
He says "He who does not work, must not eat", No food for a lazy man. Get up and work.

5. You have an enemy.
The day you declared for Christ, you drew a battle line against satan the adversary.

You scaped from his camp, and he wants you back. To him, you have become an enemy and he will by all means frustrate you.

How does he do that?

He makes you work against yourself. How?

Satan knows what sin is, but you don't. He knows that when you sin, you take a stand against God. God is legally hampered from getting involved in your case.

Satan knows that, if someone decides for you, it's easy for you to be convinced against the decision, but if you decide for yourself, no one can convince you against your decisions.

Satan makes you sin thereby casting a Welsh between you and the only person who can help you, God.

Our Sins separates us from our God.

Apostle Paul says;

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Corinthians:16:9

Doors are opened unto us, but there are many adversaries that will make sure we do not access the doors except we do something.

The first step to doing something is obeying God's Word, In;

Service:
Servicing God comes first. What concerns the Kingdom should be your topmost priority. Promoting Kingdom, is promoting your life.

Matt 6:31-33

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.


But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Exodus 23:35-37 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.


I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

How do you serve the Lord?

In Soul winning.

in Giving to the needy.

In interceding for others.

In giving to further God's kingdom.

In paying your Tithe.


Satan knows what is in the ordnance of Tithing, he fights it rigorously to keep you from paying.

Tithing is a platform for kingdom wealth.

When you pay your tithe, satan has no access to your money, but he wants to keep stealing from you, he makes sure you do not put a blockade o. your finances.

If you don't pay to God, you'd pay to satan, in hospitals, police, deaths, and funerals.


These are the few things that makes it seem like Christianity is hard, it isn't.

shalom.

Hello sis. I have replied you twice, it keeps coming back saying address not found.

Zither:


Lol. Like seriously? I believe agape love is a more accurate description of her expression.

Never listen to those who tell you tithing is not for Christians. They tell you that it was commanded in the Law but that we are no longer under the Law but Grace as a result of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross.

What they refuse to tell you is that it was in practice long before the Law was ever given. Melchizedek practiced it and guess what, Christ is a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

They don't tell you that the Ten Commandments - thou shalt not lie, kill, fight, covet thy neighbour's property, love your neighbour as yourself, etc are part of the Law but none will tell you they have been done away with through Grace. If that is so why did they do away with tithing - a universal command - but still observe the Ten Commandments? Because it was also included in the Law?

They will not tell you that even Christ Himself said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. So how does this apply to tithing? God said in His Word "The earth is Mine and the fullness thereof" "The gold and silver are Mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are Mine." Everything belongs to God. He commands we return ten percent of our earnings to Him because it belongs to Him. Not doing so is tantamount to robbing Him of what is rightfully His. Stealing is a crime that attracts punishment. However, obeying the command attracts blessings.

I am very glad you have determined to walk the narrow path. I suggest you read many Christian books to help you in your journey. The answer you seek may have been lived by someone else. Shalom.

analice107:

Compare the Priesthood of Melchizedek and that of Christ, then we cat talk.

An2elect2:

I have noticed that I have been passing through a lot of difficulties for a long time..despite being a Christian.....Christian life very very difficult

damosky12:




My dear, the Christian like isn't difficult! It's in fact, the escape from living a difficult life.
Remember how the Scriptures put it.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.



The Christian life shouldn't be short of life.
If constantly otherwise, there is something to be fixed.

doyinbaby:
Can I still cope with all the troubles I am facing....even unbelievers are better than me

hahn:


Everyone faces challenges

You cannot control what happens but you can control how you react to it. Get up, clean up yourself and try again.

Try and start a business. Learn something new. Learn from your mistakes

Get a plan and remain focused

Persistence, determination and consistency will work to your advantage

What kind of tithing did melchidezek practice?

Did Abraham ever pay tithe from his own personal possessions?

You have no basis to use Abraham to justify tithing because he paid it only once and it wasn't even of his own personal possessions.

Should we also pay tithe once and forget about it?


Now about the law, tithing is not among the 10 commandments, it is with the other over 400 laws given to the isrealites.

Do you still obey this more than 400 laws listed in the old testament? Or you just made an exception for tithing? Do you even know all the laws listed in the old testament, or paying tithe is the only important one?


If tithe was so important, why didn't the early apostles collect tithe? Or you're more knowledgeable than them?

twosquare:
No one said it's gonna be easy because we're in a war zone. This present earth has been turn to a war zone, and no soldier when going to war will think a war zone is a place for relaxation. We're here to fight and lay hold on eternal life. Reason we've been advised to put on the full armor of God that we shall be able to stand in evil days.

Paul wrote to doyinbaby that, know this also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. What's the meaning of perilous? Dangerous times, hard times... Not just spiritually, even economically and all ramifications pertaining to earthly events. So, we have to escape.

However, you can pray for supernatural provision when in a wilderness experience or famine/drought. Relying on the faith of Jesus is always the way out.

Yep.

Am still waiting for you An2elect2.

Amberon:
My own problem is that whenever I tell lies or commit any sin, it gets me down to the point I can no longer pray because I always feel I'm not good enough. I would have this feeling of hopelessness and something would tell me my prayers are a just a waste.

An2elect2:
No need waiting for me. I asked you a question and you provided no answer to it.

There isn't any place where Christians were commanded to tithe. And of course you couldn't provide any.
