In the book of 1 Chronicles is a story about a King named Solomon. King Solomon burnt 1,000 offerings to God. It was such a big offering that it moved God. He was moved so much he himself came to visit Solomon. Imagine how awesome it would be to have God himself come visit us because we did something to touch his heart. How much more awesome would it be to hear him say to us, ask anything of me. When we give to the Kingdom of God, the windows of heaven will open. For Solomon, God himself came to him, he didn't send a messenger. God loves a cheerful giver and he gave Solomon the opportunity of a lifetime. Don't tithe to be blessed.

Thus was the beginning of my ministry of "Tithes and Offering."
