God wants to bless you
Jeremiah 32:41 I will enjoy blessing them. With all my heart and soul I will
faithfully plant them in this land.
Isaiah 56:3 My blessings are for gentiles too when they accept the Lord. Don’t let
them think that I will make them second class citizens. They can be as much mine
as anyone.
The blessings of God are conditional.
Every promise has a premise.
Deuteronomy 28:2-8 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord
your God: You will be blessed in your towns and in the country. You will be
blessed with many children and productive fields. You will be blessed with fertile
herds and flocks. You will be blessed with baskets overflowing with fruit, and with
kneading bowls filled with bread You will be blessed wherever you go, both in
coming and in going. The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you...
And the Lord will bless everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain.
Psalms 31:19 Your goodness is so great! You have stored up great blessings for
those who honor you.
God is after your heart.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Your heart follows your money
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and
love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and Money.
Money = Mammon.
Money has a spirit attached to it
Money submitted to God and His purposed has the spirit of God attached to
it.
Money NOT submitted to God has the spirit of Mammon on it.
God blesses tithers
Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, and I do not change.
Malachi 3:7 Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My
ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says
the Lord of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’
Says the Lord of hosts. 8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you
say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are
cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
10 Malachi 3:10 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 there
will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your
crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the
Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a
delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Malachi 3:8-9 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In
what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a
curse, For you have robbed Me,

live in it;
