Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook.
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you”(Malachi 3:10
).
).
The tithe is one-tenth of your increase; that is, ten percent of your income and anything else God blesses you with. For example, if you receive $7,000 as your pay or as a gift, ten per cent of that amount, which is $700, is your tithe. That $700 belongs to God.
One of the surest ways to experience prosperity in God’s Kingdom is through tithing. Tithing is surer than saving your money in the bank because God promises He’ll open the windows of heaven for you, and pour you a blessing so great you won’t have room enough to take it in!
Your tithe is your connection to your source of blessing. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve got now, if you don’t tithe, it’s impossible for you to continue in prosperity. It won’t be long before it’s all lost. But as long as that connection is maintained through your tithing, there will be an unending flow of supernatural prosperity.
Sometimes when people are asked to give the tithe from their business, they say, “I’m just waiting for the business to pick up. When it does, then I can begin to tithe.” What they don’t know is that the business is not going to pick up until they start tithing.
God is the source of wealth, and He wants you to connect your job or business to Him through your tithe. So don’t wait until things get better before you tithe. If things can get better without God, why then do you need Him? When you tithe, your job or business and your finances are protected. God rebukes the devourer for your sake, and instead of losses, there’s a blessing upon you and you find yourself riding higher and higher in permanent prosperity. Glory to God!
