A time has come for the Offering, Sacrifices and Tithe to speeak to those who embrace them it. They say "I will bear witness against you"

What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? Says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; ... Trample my courts no more; bringing offerings is futile; incense is an abomination to me. ...When you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. (Isa. 1: 1 I- 1 7)

Today I look back and see how many born again christian are oppressed in the very buildings we call the church and places of worship. Where many claim to sacrifice  to the cause of the Almighty and at the same time oppress the those that have little to to the Lord apart from their service. Since they got no big cash to offer to  to the "church god".

With what shall I come before the Lord, bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, 0 mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (6:6-8).

You sacrifice alot and yet oppress the poor, in humbleness you walk before your peers but in the midst of those that can give you nothing, you oppress them making sure that they remain the same way so that they may continue to serve you. Dangling hope before their eyes, keeping them trap in the hope that one day you might changed their future, showing to them that you are a small "god" to them.

"The covering that you had is now gone"  says the Lord. "The one righteous person that would have made Sodom not to be punished is now taken away from you. Will you turn back to Me?" asked the Lord

Why would one pay one wages and not pay the other wage in the name that one is sacrificing for the Kingdom and the other one honestly did ask for a wage. It is a matter of incorporating the world into the church ---  The employed and the Intern

Does it feature in your church?

Workers of the church are at increased risk of sadness, despair, stress, frustration, anger, and disappointment. There are inherent vocational risks involved when your job is to serve others and these risks are increased when one's vocation is to connect human experience and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These risks are increased even more as workers of the church walk closely with the life experience of the people that they serve.

 

When a worker of the church walks closely with his or her people, sees the Gospel-to-human experience connection in the lives of people and acts on that connection, often meets more-than-the-average stressors, and is in a people-oriented service vocation, the odds rise dramatically in terms of the risks to body, spirit, and self. 

 

Is it not the work of the offering and tithes to support those that server in the church or is it to only support the Bishops, Pastor and Apostles. I appluad the churches that take into consideration the welfare of their workers but a time is coming and the time is now, that the tithe and offering will speak against those that have taken them and and used it to finance their comfortable life.

Speak for the poor, seek justice for the oppress, cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. That is what the Lord is asking.
