      CENTRAL THOUGHT: God who is our source is ever willing to answer our needs.   HYMN: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD   TEXT: Matt. 7:7-11, John 14:13-14, James 4:1-4   INTRODUCTION: The believer in Christ has every reason to be perpetually joyful because of the tremendous promises of God as a result of the finished work that Christ has accomplished by His death and resurrection. The promises contain the benefits, rights, privileges, inheritances, and blessings for the believer. Since these benefits have been duly paid for by Christ, it is futile for anyone to strive to attain them by his own strength or effort.

This continued until the time of Malachi when the people of Israel refused to give tithes and the Levites went to work to earn a living, thereby neglecting their God-given responsibilities to care for the Temple and worship. God became angry and unhappy with His people for their refusal to give tithe and offering.In the present-day Church, the main source of income is through tithe and offering.
