Lydia
Continued from Page 4

Final Review:
Read the following Old Testament verse together.

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the Lord of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows."
Malachi 8:10 NASB

We never read that Lydia tithed to the Lord and yet by opening her home to missionaries, by honoring God in her work, and by putting Him completely first in her life she went far beyond the 10% and instead gave 100% of herself to the Lord's work.

Have you opened your heart completely to the Lord Jesus Christ, so He can open the doors of heaven to you? You will discover very soon how literally impossible it is to contain all that He has in store for you - so much that it will be impossible to contain it.
