Part-15 Description: In 2 Cor.6-9; 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." God is telling us here to give to the poor generously and not to the preachers. In Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (God did not order this for the benefits of any preachers, but to everyone who asks you and he also said, lend to them without expecting to get anything back.) Malachi 3:8-12; 8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, `How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse--the whole nation of you--because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty.12 "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. God is not talking to you people of the world, and telling you that you are robbing Him! God is actually talking to the corrupt priests, who changed the good sacrifice offered by the people with unacceptable sacrifice animals disobeying the temple laws. The main thing God is telling them here is reminding them by being obedience to His Commandments, they will receive all the blessings, but if they disobey it, they will be under curse. God is telling the priests also not to cheat Him on their offerings. In Mal. 1:8;When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?" says the LORD Almighty. In Mal.1:14; 14 "Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. And in vs.10; I am not pleased with you," says the LORD Almighty, "and I will accept no offering from your hands. Who offered the sacrifices to the temple, isn't it the Priests? In Mal. 1:6 "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?" says the LORD Almighty. "It is you, O priests, who show contempt for my name. "But you ask, `How have we shown contempt for your name?' When a religious leader is doing wrong against God, their followers suffered also. But telling the people that they were the one robbing God, to be able to accumulate riches for their own enjoyment, adding more suffering to the people and deceiving them, their place in hell is long overdue awaiting them.
