TOPIC: THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF GREAT MEN.
SCRIPTURE: 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 the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
(Malachi 3:10).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Tithing is a ladder that godly men climb to access kingdom wealth.
It has been established that no one goes up and stays up by chance. Every great man went up and stayed up by godly principles. And one of the principles of great men is the principle of consistent tithing.
Tithing is a ladder that godly men climb to access kingdom wealth.
Now, look at the following practical examples.
There was a man called J.C. Penney. He was born on September 16, 1875, and died on February 12, 1971 at the age of 95 years.
J. C Penney was taught by his mother how to pay tithe. He practised the principles of tithing that he learnt from his mother. Every dollar that he got, he paid the tithe of it. He was so consistent in tithing to the point that his business exploded.
But when he became rich, he stopped tithing. Then he crashed down to zero point and became bankrupt.
One day, he went to God and enquired why his business went bankrupt.
God told him, “Remember from whence thou art fallen.”
And he remembered and said: “Oh! It was the tithing of my organization’s income that brought me to this level.” So, he returned and tithed every income he got.
Within a short while, his business exploded financially again.
Today, J. C Penney stores, a multibillion dollar corporation, is scattered all over America. It took just a godly man, who learnt kingdom principles of tithing from his mother, to experience such explosive trans-generational wealth.
J. C Penney was a major influence on Sam Walton, the owner of Wal-Mart stores that spread around the whole of America.
Sam Walton’s family has the largest number of billionaires in the world today, and this Sam Walton was influenced by J. C. Penney, a devoted child of God.
The truth is, you cannot talk about the stability of the economy of America without mentioning the contributions of J. C. Penney stores or the Wal-Mart stores. And all these happened because of a man who was raised by God on the basis of Kingdom principles to be the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath.
REMEMBER THIS: Tithing is a ladder that godly men climb to access kingdom wealth.
