Apostle Chris OMATSOLA on TITHING

Tithing is an Established Biblical principle, deeply rooted in the word of God. Tithing is not a strange doctrine. The following scriptures attest to this (Genesis 14:19-20, Genesis 28:20-22, Leviticus 27:30-34, Numbers 18:21-26, Deuteronomy 12:5-6, Deuteronomy 14:22-29, 2Chronicles 31:4-5, Nehemiah 10:35-37), Tithing is well rooted in scriptures from the old testament. It's an acceptable dogma.


However, in the days of Nehemiah there arose a prophet called Malachi which means "Messenger Of Yahweh". He was a man of God with integrity, he had a reputation on accurate and factual prophecies. 


When prophet Malachi came to the scene just like Prophet Isaiah he prophesied about things present and things to come, he preached about restoration and righteousness. He condemned sin and wickedness in very uncompromising terms. 


He prophesied about tithing, he said that a time will come when the pattern as stated in Deuteronomy 14:22-29 which talks of spending your tithe on things you desire will no longer be so, he taught that the Deuteronomy's model of tithing will become obsolete in those days, rather tithe will be taken to the storehouse of God which the Lord has chosen (Malachi 3:10).


He prophesied about the new model, order or contract of tithing. And when Jesus came he fulfilled the prophecy by restoring man to God with his own blood, because until man is restored to God they can't operate in this new contract that Prophet Malachi and Isaiah talked about. This was why the need for Jesus coming, death and resurrection was emphasized, so we could function in the right capacity with God. 


Jesus came to restore us back to God so we could function rightly in Christ. Salvation reprograms us to function properly as God has designed us from creation. He came to established the new order, testament, covenant or contract. Jesus didn't come to teach us all things, he came to die for our redemption, that was his assignment. He wouldn't teach all things because we they don't have capacity to receive or comprehend those things at the level because of the absence of the Holy Spirit of God.


In John 16:12-16, here Jesus told them that there are so much they needed to know but because they were not matured enough to receive those information, and that his assignment was to die and restore them back to the new covenant but when HE is gone the Holy Spirit of God will reveal and guild them safely into all truths. John 4:24. 


However, via the spirit of God we understood that Malachi prophesied before time the new order of tithe as contrast to the order established in Deuteronomy 14:22-29.

The new order according to his prophecy is Malachi 3:10.


Please endeavor to Pray for the church and the body of Christ in general as nobody is a monopoly of knowledge.


I hope this make sense to you, please do not be cajole by some overnight pastors whose hyper appetite for fame has driven them to falsehood and blasphemy, whose ministries are only on found on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Shalom!

The Texas Church Shootings on the 1st Sunday Of November 2017.

At least 26 people died and others were injured Sunday when a gunman
opened fire at a church in a small town southeast of San Antonio, officials say.
The incident occurred at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a small community located in Wilson County about 30 miles away from San Antonio.

The gunman, identified by law enforcement as 26-year-old Devin Kelley, is now deceased, but it remains unclear how he died.

Multiple victims with gunshot wounds were being treated at the Connally Memorial Medical Center, a representative for the hospital told TIME. She could not give further details on their conditions.

Four patients were later transferred to University Hospital in San Antonio for higher-level care, hospital spokesperson Megan Posey told AP. Another eight victims were taken by medical helicopter to the Brooke Army Medical Center.
“We can not put into words the pain and grief we all feel,” said President Donald Trump on Sunday in a press conference from Japan, his first stop on a trip to multiple Asian countries.

The number of victims and those injured make the incident one of the largest mass shootings in recent history, and comes just a month after a gunman opened fire on a crowd at a concert in Las Vegas, killing 58 people.
Multiple fatalities and injuries at Texas church shooting
At least 26 people were killed and 20 were wounded as a result of the incident, making it one of the most deadly mass shootings in recent history.

The daughter of First Baptist Church’s pastor Frank Pomeroy died in the attack, her mother Sherri Pomeroy told the AP. Both Sherri and Frank Pomeroy were out of town during the shooting. Their 14-year-old daughter was among those killed, along with “many friends,” Sherri Pomeroy said.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) official Freeman Martin said during a press conference on Sunday that 23 people were found dead inside the church, while two people were found outside. One person died after being transferred to a local hospital.
Martin said about 20 people have been transported to local hospitals. Injuries sustained from the gunfire range from minor to severe, Martin said, and the shooting victims’ ages range from 5 to 72.

Who was the suspected shooter?
Authorities identified 26-year-old
Devin Kelley as the suspected church shooter, the AP reported. Kelley died in the aftermath of the shooting, Murphy of the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office said, though his cause of death has not been confirmed.

Law enforcement officials said that Kelley, described as white, male and in his 20s, was seen around 11:20 a.m. at a gas station in Sutherland Springs. He crossed the street to First Baptist Church, and began firing from outside after exiting his vehicle. He then moved to the right side of the church and fired, before entering the church and shooting more.

Martin said a local citizen confronted the gunman, who was dressed in black “tactical type gear” as he left the church, grabbed his rifle and chased him from the scene. The gunman drove away, and crashed his vehicle near the county line, where he was found dead. It is unclear if he died of a self-inflicted wound or was shot by the citizen who confronted him. Several weapons were also found inside the vehicle.

Kelley served in the Air Force from 2010 until he was court-martialed and discharged in 2012 for allegedly assaulting his wife and child, the AP reports. Kelley, who was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, served a one year detention sentence following his discharge, according to Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek.
Officials said an address listed online to Kelley is located in the San Antonio suburb of New Braunfels, about 35 miles from Sutherland Springs.
Where did the Texas church shooting happen?

The shooting occurred at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The small community is located in Wilson County, Texas, about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio.

The small church regularly posted videos on YouTube of its Sunday services, where a number of members of the congregation gathered for services lasting more than an hour long. Services appeared to have been attended by young children and families, and also featured a number of songs.

How did politicians react to the Texas church shooting?
A number of politicians took to Twitter to share their condolences and prayers with the victims of the shooting.

President Donald Trump, who is currently in Japan, tweeted that he is monitoring the situation.
“May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas,” Trump wrote. “The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan.”

A Letter to PAUL OMATSOLA (Happy Birthday)

Young Man, this is the dawn of a new day for you in life, I like for you to acknowledge the fact that God has you in Mind. I want this November 1st to be very different, special, redefined and better than the previous.

This should stand out and go into history records as that point where your life took a new lift, and a better look.

I also want you to notice that your age figure has changed and if you are very observant you would also notice that some things have changed around you as well.

However, I write to you on this very special day not just as a big brother but also as a special friend and a spiritual partner in Christ to pass a very strong message of Positivity, Hope, Strength and Faith.

Oga Paul  ( #PaulOMATSOLA ) At this new phase, stage and age of your life, i want you to be bold and fearless, I want you to stand tall, strong and unintimidated. Do not rely on any man for your help and survival in life for the help of man is useless and as such needless. Be like David look up to the maker of the Heavens and Earth (Psalm 108:12, Psalm 121:1-2).

I want you to take on responsibilities as a man and not excuses regardless of the situation.
I want you to fear no man except God (Respect Everyone). You are An OMATSOLA, You are a King and you should live and behave as one, you are special and not just like every average man out there, You are A Real MAN.

You should desire knowledge and constantly build intellectual capacity. You should stand for what is right and condemn whatever is wrong. Don't let anybody push you around except the Holy Spirit of God. Don't be moved by what people say, don't just do things because others are doing it. You should be insightful, discerning, sapient, sagacious and perspicacious. I want you to find solace and comfort in the fact that God is your shield and strength, and so much so is that you are more than a conqueror, made of Grace to scale unusual and unimaginable heights in life and destiny.

I believe God is up to something bigger in your life, I believe you are moving into your place of destiny, purpose and dream fulfilment, I believe you're about to become who God has meticulously designed, patterned and crafted you to be, I believe God is about to turn the tables around but this time in your favor. I believe your best days are around the corner, I believe your miracles is closer than before, I believe in YOU!

Just like our Lord Jesus in Luke 2:52, I pray you grow continually and speedily in Wisdom, Stature and Favor, I pray that you find your feet on pleasant grounds in life. I pray your dreams come true. I pray you increase in good health, long life and prosperity.

My Dear Brother, at this junction, I feel you should settle down for the best and nothing less and the best is only found in Christ our King and Savior. Yes I know! that we exist in a generation where the love of money rules the world, but please let the love of God rule in your world, let your mind be penetrated, infiltrated and saturated with the word of God, let your decisions and actions be heavy influence by the Holy Spirit of God and not by the God of this evil age (1Timothy 6:10). Let God Rule in your World.

I want you to know that I pray for you always and will never stop. I want you to know that I wish you the very best even more than you wish yourself, I want you to know that I love you far more than you imagined. More important is the fact that we your family love you far more than anybody do. I must drop my pen here.

Cheers, Happy Birthday!
God Bless the works of your hands, God bless your mind and hearts, God bless you Sir!

Yours In Love, #ChrisOMATSOLA
