Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall he lead,
Til ev’ry foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day:
Ye who are men, now serve him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song:
To him who over cometh
A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally.
Godly Stewardshi
pLesson 2The Tithe
Malachi 3:7-10 7 "From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes, and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?‘ 8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and offerings. 9 "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!
Malachi 3:7-10 10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
What is Tithing?
Mathematically it is a tenth – “an of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee” Genesis 28:11
Scripturally it is the law – “Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase” Deut. 14:22
Morally it is a debt – “wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.”Malachi 3:8
What is Tithing?
Economically it is an investment – “but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” Matthew 6:20
Spiritually it is a blessing – “I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10
Abraham “commenced” it
“And blessed be God Most High, Who has
delivered your enemies into your
hand." And he gave him a tenth of all.
