Please, pastor, if I pay my tithe and live anyhow, will I still prosper because I am obeying the scripture of prosperity?

God bless you Pastor
Please a follow up question. In the Bible God said "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."
So my question is if He said we should prove Him, is it wrong to be in expectation of the blessing?
Please, my other question is if God is a jealous God, how does jealousy become a sin.
God bless you

It is not wrong at all to expect good things from the LORD. In fact, we must be under expectation to receive from the Him. We should be expecting His blessings, not because we deserve it.
What I was saying was that don't pay your tithes and think that because you have paid your tithes, God owes you. God can owe no man. It's all about ATTITUDE. WE ARE NOT EXCHANGING OUR TITHES WITH HIS BLESSINGS! That's what I meant.
Our attitude should be such that we obey His WORD because we love Him. So whether we're seeing His blessings now or not, we'll still serve Him and obey His WORD because we love Him.
But we should be expecting His blessings all the time because no man can outgive God.
He will give us exceedingly abundantly above what we ask for.
There are two kinds of jealousy. There is a godly jealousy and a hatred jealousy.
The one God has is the godly one. God doesn't want to share His children with any other spirit. He is jealous over them.
A husband who is jealous over his wife doesn't want to share her with another man. In the same way, a wife who loves her husband doesn't want to share him with any other woman. That's godly jealousy.
Hatred jealousy is the opposite of godly jealousy. A person with hatred jealousy doesn't want any other person to be blessed above them. That spirit is not of God. A Christian should wish others well and actually be happy when others are doing well. THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST!

Please a follow up question, what is the secret to prosperity?
Saturday, 16 December 2023
The secret to prosperity is what God has prescribed in His Word in Malachi 3.
He said if we pay our tithes faithfully, He will rebuke the devourer for our sake. This means there is a devourer who hangs around to devour any blessing that's supposed to come to us. He waits for "the time of harvest" when we are about to reap some blessings, then he comes and devours that.
But when we pay our tithes and believe that what God has said will come to pass, we'll reap the goodness of the Lord.
My advice to you, however, is that don't pay tithe as something you are doing for God for Him to pay you back. Pay your tithes as obedience to the WORD and God will keep His Word

God bless you pastor. Please I am a believer but I sometimes feel jealous and also when people are doing something that is helping them I feel bad and think it should have been me.
Please I have baptised and believe I have the Holy spirit since after we believe we get the Holy spirit.
Please what is making me feel that way and can I go to the rapture if I continue to feel that way? Thank you.

It is not true that after we believe, we receive the Holy Spirit. It is not automatic.
Paul asked the disciples of John the Baptist that "have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
After we believe, we must constantly stay on the WORD and work out our own salvation with fear and trembling to receive the Holy Ghost.
We must eschew jealousy and all that go with it because it's a spirit of the devil. It's no small sin.
Go on your knees and pray all the time about it until you truly feel happy for people and not get jealous when they are successful in anything.
When that happens, God will bless you in all that you do also.
In order for us to go into the rapture, we must offload every weight that weighs us down. On this journey, we unpack anything that is not the WORD to make us fit for the rapture.
God bless you.

God bless you, Pastor. Please can someone hold an office in the church and still have an evil spirit on them, and please, how would you know or how would it show? Please can someone preach or lead somgs powerfully and still have an evil spirit?

Absolutely, someone can hold any position in the church and still have an evil spirit on them. THE GIFTS PEOPLE HAVE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION. Someone can be a Preacher, Deacon, Trustee, Song leader etc. and not saved. The Bible clearly tells us in Romans 11:29 that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance.
The things we do show what kind of spirit we have: gossip, fornication, hatred, unforgiving spirit, finding it difficult to take corrections, pride, etc. are all the works of evil spirits. The Bible tells us in Matthew 7:16 that we shall know them by their fruits.
A person who is saved fully accepts the FULL WORD OF GOD AND MAKES IT HIS OR HER PRIORITY TO WALK BY THE WORD! HE/SHE DESIRES AND FIGHTS DAILY TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY!
