Malachi 3:10 says ‘Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.’

DAILY READING; • • Romans 8; 1 Samuel 17:1-54; Psalm 62

William Colgate was 19 years old, when he decided to go into business on his own. He ventured into soapmaking with his aunt’s financial help. However, his business failed within a year and he had to close it down.
William was greatly disappointed, but he received encouragement while reading the Bible and saw how Jacob made a vow to God.
He read in Genesis 28: 20-21 “Then Jacob made a vow to the LORD :If you will be with me and protect me in the journey I am making and give me food and clothing, and if I return safely to my father’s home, then you will be my God… and I will give you a tenth of everything you give me.”

Jacob’s vow challenged William. He then prayed the same prayer and made a similar vow to give God first place in his life, and give a tithe of his profitts..
William travelled to New York and there started a new business. He never forgot his promise to God and from the first dollar he earned he devoted 10 percent of his net earnings to God.
As he gave God the first place in his life and career, it marked the beginning of his outstanding success.
As he progressed, he increased his tithe to 20 percent and later to 30 percent. It seemed that the more he gave, the more he prospered.
William experienced the fulfillment of Malachi 3:10 as God opened the windows of Heaven and pour out to him much blessings.
Soon the Colgate Company dominated the world’s cosmetic market as its operations branched out from soap manufacturing into a host of other products.
William was active in Church and served as a Deacon and donated large sums to missions, Christian education and Bible translation.
Though he died on March 25, 1857, his influence continues to llve on today through the Colgate-Palmolive company which is a major player in the global financial market.

Truly the secrets of men are in their stories.
Despite past setback and failures, when a man decides to come into covenant with God, he will experience open Heavens in his endeavors. And certainly, Open Heavens is the cure for earthly dryness.
When the windows of Heaven open over us, there is an outpouring of the rain of the Spirit that quickens our understanding and grants us access to divine ideas that launches us into outstanding success.

God is faithful to keep His covenant with us today, just as He was faithful to keep His covenant with His people in the past. And when we covenant to walk in line with His Word, it guarantees our supernatural breakthroughs in life.
One of the keys found in His Word for unlocking the Heavens is Malachi 3:10 which says ‘Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.’

When we bring all the tithes into God’s store house, He blesses us overwhelmingly and stops the devourer from attacking our health, families, businesses, career etc

Through the covenant of investing into God’s kingdom, we stay connected to a supply line that never runs dry.
Circumstances in the world may change, and global economy may shake, but Heaven’s economy never fails.
As long as we remain connected to God, we will prosper even in the desert. We will never see dryness because we are connected to the fountain of Living waters.

Today, let us determine to operate under open Heavens by sincerely serving God with our lives and also sowing into His kingdom. As we do, the Lord will cause doors of breakthrough to open up for us, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to us in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for opening the Heavens over me throughout this year and beyond. I know that even right now You are already converting every breakdown into breakthroughs and giving me a divine turnaround in every area in Jesus Name. .
