You can fool me into thinking you are the most wonderful and spiritual and worshipful person ever. You will never fool God. He knows if you are offering him your best… he knows what truly has your heart. Are you giving God the leftovers? Are you robbing God of his firstfruits in time, talent or treasure? He longs to “open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing...” but your foolishness or selfishness may prevent it. God wants to give you good gifts, and knows truly when the gifts have your heart instead of the Giver. The true Prosperity Gospel: give God your first and best and let him open the blessings of heaven to you.
