Tithes & Offering

"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." - 2 Corinthians 9:6

EXPLORATION

Self-consecration has always been explained as the dedication of our person -body, soul and spirit, to the worship and service of God: Abstaining from sin and maintaining purity of the heart.

As we live and work day by day, we find that we eventually acquire material wealth and have some people under our influence and control. Because they are related to us, and we have control over their existence and functions, they become part and parcel of us, and should also be "dedicated" unto God. This could even be our wife and children; house helpers and other dependants.

Praying In The Spirit

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." - Romans 8:26-27

EXPLORATION

Definition: Prayer is the act of Devotion and Consecration in which the worshipper in his dependence on God requests Him to do for him (the worshipper) what he is not able to do and grant him he grace to be successful in doing the things he knows how to do. In praying he gets into conversation with God. So prayer could also be referred to as talking with God.

Godly Zeal

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:10-14

Honoring your Body as the Temple of God

"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:4-5 (KJV)
"In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." - Ephesians 2:22 (KJV)

EXPLORATION

The word of God teaches that the body of the believer is a spiritual temple. A temple is a place of worship where God is exalted and praised. Because the building is dedicated to the worship and service of God, it is not available for any secular use. Therefore, anything that does not glorify God nor is used for his worship or service, is never brought in there. It is unlike the case of a public building where anything could be done inside as long as it is paid for.
