Test me if I wont open the windows of Heaven.

This is one of the most familiar verses in our adventist church, usually read during divine service in offertory bible text

Mal 3:10. "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need."

This never sinked in my head until one sabbath morning on 5th September 2015 at Ushindi Sda church. I had 1150 tsh/=  in my purse and when it came that time to give tithes & offering I wanted to give 150 tsh/= then save 1000 tsh/= for transport back home. Even 1000 tsh/= wasn't enough to get home. I would have to walk roughly 30 minutes or add another 1000 tsh /= for bodaboda ( motorcycle) transport to home. 

Then the holy spirit spoke to me saying, I should give out 1000 tsh/= then I said in my heart, no i cant do that, how will get home. Then i took out of my purse 150 tsh/= to give it as an offering to God saying thats all I have.  

The Holy spirit said no, then i decided  not to give any offering at all. The Lord didn't give up on my stubborn heart. He said, test me if I wouldn't open windows of heaven . I found myself  giving an offering for 1000/= then leave the rest of worries to him. 

When divine service was over, I had no money to go home, I remembered this promise in 1Pe 5:7  "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." I left everything in His hands.

I was invited for lunch with my friend and after lunch, she gave me 2000 tsh/=. I asked her why did you give me the money, she said, She felt like giving me that money. Praise the Lord. God doubled the money I gave to him. I was happy because i knew I had enough fare to go home. He didn't not end there, another friend whom we haven't seen each other for 6 yrs, came to worship at my church and offered a lift till home at the end of the service. I couldn't take it anymore on His goodness. God is too good. 

I tested him and He did open windows of heaven and pour out blessings, that were more than enough.

Sometimes when you are faced with difficulties, the promises seems to be too good to be true but keep trusting God always and believe and claim His promises. He will surely fulfill what He promised because God is not human that He should lie or regret." Num 23:19  God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?"

Trust God and He will open windows of Heaven of blessings for you.

God bless you.
