it dawned on me today to talk about maths...not the type you learn in school...but the type you learn from Heaven. it is the only maths i can talk about coz i suck at human maths...sometimes i wonder how i actually managed to pass all my maths subjects during my schooling years, probably God was there to answer for me...hehehe. i never understood why did we humans have to complicate the subject of maths when God made it so simple. i mean, tell me what is the point of calculating the weight and mass of a sphere or a water pipe when all you do after school is just kick a ball and drink from the pipe. it doesn't make you a better person and you forget all the formulas 5 years after you graduate anyways.
you know...some time ago i dropped by the home of one of my pre-teens from church. i saw him doing his homework and i offered my help. to my astonishment it was maths !!! u know lah ...i have always hated maths...so there i was trying to solve one of his homework questions and it took me 20 mins, not 2mins but 20mins for 1 question. it was a question of calculating water level in a pipe...what the heck...why are we putting our kids thru this type of education...how many adults on earth right now actually bothers to calculate water level in their water pipes. all we know is got water or no water, water dirty or water clean. no wonder so many christians nowadays struggle with Godly maths, that's becoz they've already filled up their brains with maths that is created by human logic.
now, what do i mean by Godly maths? let me tell you, maths from heaven has no human logic, it only has Godly logic. if only all of us can understand it, then a lot of things would look much simpler and easier. i think in heavenly maths, there is only <+, -, /, x>, which literally mean plus, minus, divide and multiply. let me give you an example, what ever minus you have, God will make it plus for you meaning : when you sacrifice and lose something for God, HE will add on blessings to you. another example, divide yourselves into groups and go reach out to the lost faithfully, God will then multiply you fruits accordingly. see, i told you, it is simple...why must we come out with so many different formulas to calculate so many different things that does not relate to us in life later on.
let's procceed and talk about GIVING (Tithes+offering), something that a lot of people struggle with...look at the chart below before we go on and see if you find it logical
CHART A
income - tithe - offering - remainder - total giving
10,000 - 1,000 - 0 - 9,000 - 10%
20,000 - 2,000 - 2,000 - 16,000 - 20%
30,000 - 3,000 - 6,000 - 21,000 - 30%
40,000 - 4,000 - 12,000 - 24,000 - 40%
50,000 - 5,000 - 20,000 - 25,000 - 50%
60,000 - 6,000 - 30,000 - 24,000 - 60%
70,000 - 7,000 - 42,000 - 21,000 - 70%
80,000 - 8,000 - 56,000 - 16,000 - 80%
90,000 - 9,000 - 72,000 - 9,000 - 90%
looks logical right ? coz this is using human logics, but guess what ? how many of us can actually achieve total giving of 90%? i would say very minimum. you see, the problem with us humans is that we can't see beyond what God has for us, breaking the 10% barrier is already a struggle to many, what more 90%. at the end of the day, we can't even overcome maths that we humans have created through our own logic. i mean, having 9,000 to spend is actually a very comfortable figure for the general public, the only thing we have to overcome is temptation of what money can do for us. when people have money, they spend happily for themselves but not for God, they plan the future of their children (when God has already planned for them b4 they were even born, go read Jeremiah), they save it up for emergency (when you can just pray for God's intervention), they save it till i dunno when (it's not like you can take the money to heaven)
guess who benefits when we can break our mental level and achieve 90% of giving. the poor, the lost, the mission fields, church growth, outreach events, bible giving, etc etc. (exactly what God has called us to do) it's not like God dun have money and need to ask from us, HE is just basically using us as a vessel to give, that's all.
now look at this new chart and see what you think ?
CHART B
income - tithe - offering - remainder - total giving
10,000 - 1,000 - 0 - 9,000 - 10%
20,000 - 2,000 - 2,000 - 16,000 - 20%
30,000 - 3,000 - 6,000 - 21,000 - 30%
40,000 - 4,000 - 12,000 - 24,000 - 40%
50,000 - 5,000 - 20,000 - 25,000 - 50%
100k - 10k - 50k - 40k - 60%
200k - 20k - 120k - 60k - 70%
400k - 40k - 280k - 80k - 80%
800k - 80k - 640k - 80k - 90%
like the figures ? see, i told you God has better maths than ours, but to achieve CHART B, we must first achieve CHART A, i am personally working on CHART A, but i look towards CHART B very soon, i hope that all of you can join me in this quest. by doing so, the church never needs to raise any funds anymore, coz all needs are always met, and that's becoz all of us achieved CHART B scenario. i am not saying this is how God works, the figures may vary and change depending on how God wants it to be, ultimately it is up to God, and i am just sharing with you my point of view.
anyways, i guess that's it for today, we have seen how our human logic maths has loss outright to the maths of God. and that is why i am saying that God is the best mathematician, good day all of you !!!
