When God allows us to have Money, it is the Financial Blessing to operate in this worlds system, for all of us, as the just and the unjust alike, to have the means to stay alive. To keep ourselves and to have pleasures in life also. God also intended for us, as His Children, to Learn to handle our Money, with a Godly Wisdom, that this world does not Know anything about, in Tithing and Giving Offerings and in just being a Cheerful Giver, however it is God's plan for us to grow and Learn to be Faithful in this area, with the Finances that God Blessed a Child of God with. God has always wanted for His Children, to use Wisdom, concerning handling your Money and directing it, in all of the proper places, that you need, to stay out of debt and to take care of your home and your family's needs. Once God places Money in our hands, you become the Steward of our own Money and the Money Of Gods Store House, which are the Churches Finances. God is going to address, the Store House Finances. He is going to teach about Tithing and Giving Offerings and just being a Cheerful Giver. God Will also teach and tell Truths about your personal Finances, for staying alive and for your everyday pleasures. Why? Because Gods Children need Gods help and need to operate in, Gods plan and Learn to use Wisdom. Gods Will is for His Children, to Learn to live in life, using His Divine Wisdom and to practice Biblical teachings. Well I'm just going to allow for God to Lead and guide me, in this Financial teaching, this Will be God telling Truths and Spiritual Secrets, because God is the writer, me, I'm just His Servant, I just obey the Voice of God and follow His Spirits Leading's, as He Gives them unto me, as a hearer of His Spirit. Here is scripture, being God, Giving us His promise to open the windows of heaven, for our Tithes and Offerings and God also telling us that we have robbed Him in not paying Tithes and Giving our Offerings, unto Gods House, this being Gods Store House. This is Gods way, to have Finances, in His own House, to minister help, unto a world in need of God's Love and in the many ways that He desires to minister it unto this world. Doesn't the Store House Money, belong to God or do you think that it belongs to you, the Servant over it, my dear, over seer of Gods Finances, of His Church. God told me once that He would like to spend, His own Money. The Store House Money is Gods Money, but many over seers of Gods Finances, spend Gods Money, like it belongs to them. Because of this problem, in the House of God, many of Gods Servants are not using Gods Money, for the preaching of the gospel, or Feeding the poor. Instead many of the Children of God are, just paying bills with Gods Money. God is telling me, that His Finances are to go further than, to pay rent, or light bills and gas bills. Where is the preaching of the gospel unto this world, with Gods Money. Some of Gods Children and ministers have something's, kind of mixed up. God has always provided, a way to pay bills and to preach His Word, with the Store House Finances, simply saying, the Tithes and Offerings that were Given to God and not to the Servants of God. Tithes and Offerings are for the work of the ministry, when you Give them unto God, its Gods Money now and He Will always Give us the Leading of the Holy Ghost, as we are to spend it for God. Many of Gods Servants have never Learned to take Gods Money and direct it, towards the preaching of the gospel. It is up to every minister, to Learn to be Wise Steward's Of Gods Money. I'm a minister of the gospel and I preach out of my home, there are three of us in our Church group so far. However, we also pay Tithes and Give Offerings. God however, has Given us directions, on how to spend, the hundreds of dollars that we Tithe to God, it is Gods Store House Money; it does not belong to me. I preach Gods Word and I do not take any Money, because a labor is worthy of his hire, because we have
About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision...
