Then after every election, we'll pray for our political leaders to be guided by the Most High Almighty Abbah Creator. On the other hand why we're praying for a righteous Political leaders during campaign season? Are we negating some Old Testament passages about righteous political AND religious leadership/leaders?
Gal 6:1-5 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (2) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (3) For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. (4) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. (5) For every man shall bear his own burden. The law of Christ for the believers In this life, we are amenable not to the law of Moses but to the law of Christ. What is the difference? 1. The law of Christ about members overtaken in a fault. a. What are the faults? b. Who are the spiritual? c. What actions do we do to restore? d. How do we meekly restore? 2. The law of Christ about helping others bear responsibilities a. Bearing burdens in NT times b. burdens in this life c. bearing another man’s burden 3. The law of Christ about self-esteem a. Thinking that you have done something, sino ka ba? b. You are nothing, do not deceive yourself 4. The law of Christ about self-tests (self diagnostic) a. Instead of feeling of entitlement, feel inadequate so Christ may fill up your lack b. Do not rejoice when you receive honor from others, return honor to Christ. c. After you establish that your work meant something for the Kingdom of God, Rejoice within yourself that you are able by your small mind, be an instrument of the Almighty. 5. The law of Christ about taking personal responsibility. Do not pass on blame to others. When you fail, blame yourself first and foremost.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 139:23-24 KJV Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
BAPTIST ERRORS ON TITHES RIGHT INTERPRETATION: 1. Baptist error 1 - Tithing is paying. Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. That is a rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees, before the LAW was conquered by Christ. It is not to the NT church. Tithing is not paying God or the Pastor. IF YOU MAKE A VOW (commitment) TO GIVE TENTH (like Jacob), THEN THAT IS YOUR COMMITMENT THAT YOU SHOULD PAY, IT IS NOT A CHURCH EVENT Psa_22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. Psa_50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: BUT IF THE WHOLE CHURCH COMMITS THEMSELVES TO GIVE THE TENTH OF THEIR INCOME IN A COVENANT, THEN THAT IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD PAY OR HONOR THEIR COMMITMENTS. BASICALLY, PAYING TITHES IS A COMMAND TO ISRAEL Lev_27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. Lev_27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. 2. BAPTIST error 2 - Failure to tithe is robbing God. No man can really rob God. a. A nation robbing God, is like a nation committing adultery against God. (Eze. 23:37) b. Since Not tithing is not really theft, or robbery. But It is likened to it. Therefore the real punishments on earth that a thief deserves, does not apply. c. Since not tithing is an offense of Israel against God, and God’s laws, then it is God who will exact punishment against Israel. d. We have a natural commitment to support our family, our government, our children, our own good health. If we neglect these things, then the Bible says we are worse than an infidel. e. In the New Testament, if we do not honor our commitment to pay our vows, or give our tenth, as we have promised, then we are guilty of neglect, we dishonor ourselves for not keeping our promise. 3. Baptist error 3 - Pastor becomes personal with non-tithers. The pastor does not have to know who is tithing or not. Paul reminds the whole Corinthian church that they are not forthcoming just because he robbed other churches for their sakes. (2 Cor. 11:8). Therefore it is a whole church reminder, not an individual reminder. The church does not have to record it. God will deal directly with an NT church member Withholding tithes. The church and the pastor’s job is to remind, help escape the consequence, lead to maturity those who do not see the blessing of tithing. Publishing the names is foul, shaming NON TITHERS is foul. 4. Baptist error 4 - the Tithe is the Pastor’s income. IT IS NOT. Num_18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe. Neh_10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. 5. BAPTIST error 5 - the more you tithe, the more God will bless you financially. The universal law of sowing and reaping is active and applicable. 2 Cor. 9:6. Gal_6:7-9; Heb_6:10 6. BAPTIST error 6 - those who do not tithe are greedy and maybe unsaved. NO. There are non-tithers who are overpowered by greed, but some just have wrong priorities, wrong judgment calls, not enough scripture, immature, great needs (emergency) or has not tasted the Lord’s abundance to givers. 7. Baptist Error 7 - Not teaching tithing but instead grace giving is departing from Baptist practice. We teach tithes as we have heard and we teach grace giving. We are gracious with brethren who teach differently.
