The How and Why of Giving | Tim Dilena

In "The How and Why of Giving", Pastor Tim Dilena teaches the best way to fight money's control is to be a giver. Instead of holding on to things with a tight fist, we say, "God it all belongs to you anyway."

It’s the WORD OF GOD. It’s final! It’s not even debatable. Thank YOU JESUS and thank you Pastor Tim for reminding us. God bless you with more wisdom. God owns everything anyways 👍

[@neelhalli]

Show respect for the creator, like you would for a father, who loves you.

[@debbiedean3165]

[@Rita-23]

Awesome Word, LORD! HALLELUJAH!!! GLORY to GOD 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@BenActionPhotos]

fact, if we believe that our financial giving will open the windows of heaven upon our lives, we are 2000 years late. Jesus has already opened a “new and living way” to heaven through the sacrifice of Himself on the cross.

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Praise to the Lord( Jesus) and thank you pastor Tim for sharing. John 3:3❤😊

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Hebrews 7:23-28 "23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from co tinuing in office; 24 but because Jesus( :) 1st love in Christ) live forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him( Jesus), because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest meet our need- one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins , and then for the sins of the people. He ( Jesus) sacrificed for their sin once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son( Jesus :) 1st love in Christ), who has made perfect forever. "( Hebrews 7:23-28 ) in Jesus'name, i pray( Hebrews 13:8) Amen.

Jesus owns everything I have, including money. If He told me to give all of my money to a homeless person, I would do it without hesitation.

[@Geebaby1968]

Gods word is true!! And He is not man that he would LIE!!

[@jmdl9584]

[@michaelrivera121]

[@thegr8nate]

[@LuisRivera-lx9ic]

Wonderful message. God is good.

[@jamescobrien]

Deuteronomy 28:12 “When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within the gates of your cities and be satisfied. Don't forget these people.

[@evangelistidalinejoelletv5043]

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Philippians 4:4-7😊❤

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Amen to 1Timothy 6:17-19 and Ephesians 2:8❤. God is a giver( He gave us Jesus (😊1st❤). Jesus is a giver too. For Jesus gave you or me his life so we reconnect with God in heaven. Are you a giver too? I give by God's grace more than anyone know me because everything we have is above from God. Romans 8:1 .out of your paycheck, how much do you give to God? Or others in needs? Or others you invested in eternal purposes in Christ? 1 John 4:18❤-19❤ A TSC pastor told me to take care of my family first before taking care of his church while i tilthing to whatever i have to God that touch me. More than 10% every time. If i give 10% or 20% to God what is matter to you? God knows me that I invest in His family in Christ in the past, now and future and invest in people i know in persons more than other do not know me personally. Are you judging someone from 10%-20%? Anyways, 80% of your others paycheck where do you put it? In yourself or invest in God's people that you do not know? God gives and take away but blessed be the name of God.

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

2 Corinthians 9:7❤

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Do you also think today that God still have His people in Christ who give also more than we receive from others too? God is a generous God. Jesus is a generous Lord, King and Savior too. So should we right? ❤😊

[@selwynlawrence7748]

tithing was part of the law.. as believers in Christ we are not limited in our giving. if God has prospered us then why is our giving according to the law. Of all the 613 laws churches will harp on this one law but perhaps they need to study Galatians and see how it is that if you want to obey the one you must obey all.

[@willielee5253]

👑Genesis 12:3 ❤ Matthew 25 31-46 👑 💒Christians speak of scriptures as being this or that as a salvation 🛐 issue, here 👑 Jesus made this a salvation 🛐 issue Himself in Matthew 25 31-46 🇮🇱 😊No teasing out scriptures or extrapolations needed, it's as plain as the Sun shine 😊 👑 Jesus made this a salvation 🛐 issue in Matthew 25 31-46 🇮🇱 and before He returns I'd recommend ministering the same love ❤God bless you on your journey ❤

[@louievazqueziii6679]

I’d rather have 90% of the paycheck and be in the Lords faithful spiritual realm of abundance than 100% of the paycheck and robbing God!!

[@troyboldon1]

Pastor Tim, that includes Pastors too, correct.? I have seen many Pastors abuse this tithe teaching in their churches, including you.

[@joer5627]

So you tithe?

[@markworthington1830]

BREAKING THE POWER OF SIN. Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. Go now and leave your life of sin. John 8:11 In this passage, a woman caught in adultery was brought by the church leaders to Jesus. I do not know if we can accurately picture what was going on when this woman was brought before Jesus. I can see her being dragged in, red faced, her hair in disarray. She is angry, upset, rebellious, and bitter, perhaps striking out against her accusers. But when she sees how Jesus handles this crowd of hypocritical judges, and feels that his sympathies are with her, somewhere the mercy and love that was in his face and voice began to touch her. She realized how wrong she was, that she had sinned, and she repented. When she did, Jesus forgave her, obviously anticipating his death upon the cross for her. The cross is always an eternal event in the mind of God. The sins of the people who lived in Old Testament days were also forgiven on the basis of the death of Jesus on the cross. There is no other way that God can forgive sin. In anticipation of that cross, Jesus forgave her sin. The proof of it is in the words he said, Go, and do not sin again. That is the word I would like to leave ringing in our ears. If we have acknowledged our guilt, and heard God's words of forgiveness, he is saying to us, Go, and do not sin again. He could never say that to this woman unless something had happened within her; the power of sin had been broken. We do not sin because we are temporarily overwhelmed by a strong passion of the moment. We sin because we have a nature of sin, of self-centeredness; we hunger after things that are wrong and we easily yield to sin. We cannot help ourselves at times. Man is born unto sin, the Scriptures say (Job 5:7). We all are born to share that fallen nature. Unless that power of sin is broken within us, unless God does something to free us and to give us the possibility of a new life, he never will say to us, Go, and sin no more. But when Jesus says these words to this woman it is clear that she has the possibility of fulfilling it. He never tells anyone to do something that he does not also enable him or her to do. Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also bring it to pass. (1Thes. 5:24) Thus, he does not forgive us in order that we might go back and continue in our sins. The Apostle Paul wrote these wonderful words to his son in the faith, Titus, He gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds, (Titus 2:14). This beautiful story brings us to that place in which we understand that when our sins are forgiven it is to free us that we might begin to live a different lifestyle by the power of his indwelling Spirit; never to go back to the things that we have left behind. Sometimes we are weak, and need again the forgiving grace of God. But forgiveness is always designed to set us free. That is why it is given. When our Lord forgave this woman that is what he did: He set her free to be a different kind of person than she ever was before. PRAYER: You have set me free, Lord from bondage to sin! Help me to hear these words a new way, Neither do I condemn you; go and do not sin again. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

Psalms speaks of God's blessing in a physical way to the physical descendents of Israel (Jacob). We, as the spiritual descendants of Israel through Christ, are blessed SPIRITUALLY. Tithing is a Levitical teaching, only intended for those living under the law. It was never permitted to be monetary. The gospel must be kept pure. God says to give joyfully. Paul said to contribute to the survival of brothers in need. To demand tithes from widows, old women and children is irresponsible and acting as wolves. Be careful not to be deceived and to keep the gospel pure. God does not bless churches which prosper off the backs of the widows mite. It is evil to desire millions by preaching the gospel. Christ did not demand payment. If a man wants to eat, he must work. It doesn't matter if I am angry. I'm not. But I would point out that God came to destroy the devils work. Those who use manipulation are doing the devils work. If you push on people's wallets, you are manipulating others. Be careful!

[@ezraparkins1838]

WILL A MAN ROB GOD

[@suzannegriffiths4795]

@@ezraparkins1838 isolating a single verse, addressed to specific person's, for specific behaviours, and attempting to apply them to everyone, is incorrect use of scripture, deceptive, and attempts to manipulate others. It is not acceptable or honest. It is directed at deceiving the ignorant. However I am not ignorant. I call you out - what you are doing is wrong! Ananias and Sapphira lied about how much money they had received, and tried to say that they had given more than they actually had. They did not have to give this money, and the point was their deception. As if the Spirit of God was not totally aware of their self-agrandisement and lies. Be careful that you are not found to be a deceiver when Christ returns!

[@JWM5791]

What manipulation. Tithing was a Jewish command, Under The Old Law, For Jewish People. Gentiles were not under the Old Law, and Tithing was finished at Calvary.

[@MichaelWilliams-mr5es]

This is a false prophet. Any preacher that begs for money and twist the scripture to do it is a charlatan. Shame on him. Pray for him. That he may come to understanding that God loves a cheerful giver that gives from the heart and not a law such as a tithe.

[@rebeccawilliamson7401]

Michael, you've heard that it is right to Tithe. How did you learn to be a cheerful giver?
