The first sign that the presence of God is with you is when there is peace inside of you. It’s a bad sign when a person has no peace, it’s a sign that God is not there.
The first sign that you gave your life to God 100% is when you become a faithful tither.
Let me break it down for you:
The first sign that God is with us is– Peace
The first sign that we are with God is- Tithe
Tithe is not money and it’s not 10%. If I do not return my tithe to the altar, how can I say that I gave my life 100% on the altar, I didn’t!
For example: One man when he was dating, told his fiancé that he wanted to marry her, then he proposed to her. When he proposed he was telling her, I want to give my life to you and I want you to give your life to me. He was telling her “let’s make a covenant.” Many people date for 5, 6,10 years or more and never commit, that is not love.
When you love someone you marry them. So the same is with Jesus, if I love Jesus I have to marry Him. I must give Him my life. Tithe is a marriage between you and God. When you give your tithe to God you are giving Him your life, you are making a covenant with God, a partnership and a relationship that you will do your part and He will do His part for your life to be blessed.
The good thing is that God will never fail to do His part, but it starts with us… when we are faithful to Him, He will respond by blessing us tremendously.
May the God of the Bible Bless all of you!

Good morning Bishop,
It is true Bishop, tithe isn’t money. Tithe shows our faithfulness to God. When we give our tithe, we are as well showing God He is first. We show respect when we return what is His. As well, tithe is our life too, we give our all to Him. Thank you for sharing this blog with us Bishop.
I have been married to my husband, since 1990. We have had many disagreements, but never grew apart. This is my second marriage. The first one was dissolved because he was very unfaithful and sincere in the relationship. I think I have met God with my bargain of the convenant. My father and mother were I believe. a very sincere followers of the God of the bible. They brought my siblings and myself also in that faith. I believe in God the father and will live by his doctrine. Difficulties that we have encountered in this age, are all generational curse and I continue to pray for Deliverance by his grace.
Amen
