00:11 ♪ oh yes, he's worthy ♪ ♪ worthy of all... ♪ 00:18 (Music) PB: Stealing is universal. 00:24 Regardless of geography, regardless of culture, 00:27 everybody knows something about thievery. 00:31 Do I have a witness in this place? 00:33 And unfortunately, at some point or another in our lives 00:37 all of us have been guilty of stealing. 00:41 Now I know someone says, Pastor Byrd, I've never done 00:43 anything illegally to land me behind bars. 00:47 I've never committed theft, I've never committed 00:49 embezzlement, larceny or grand larceny. 00:53 For, usually when we think of thievery and robbery, 00:55 we think of it in those grand terms of bank robbery 00:59 or some other kind of malicious act of taking 01:03 from someone else. 01:04 But all of us--let me say that again, all of us can ourselves 01:08 some heartache by just agreeing that we all at some 01:12 point or another have broken this commandment. 01:15 So, okay, if someone is still saying tonight, Pastor Byrd, 01:18 no, I haven't. I haven't. 01:19 Well, let's see. 01:21 You're a child of God. 01:22 You're a Christian. 01:23 You're blood washed, Holy Ghost sealed, laying on hands, 01:25 lifting hands, saying Amen, you have the whole, 01:28 charismatic, theological package. 01:31 And yet, when you go to your office to work, you borrow a 01:34 piece of paper that's not yours. 01:36 You pocket ink pens that belong to your company. 01:41 You make long distance phone calls, charge it to 01:44 the work place. 01:45 Or better yet, you cheat on your taxes so you can 01:48 get a bigger tax return. 01:49 Understand, when this commandment was given, 01:55 remember the children of Israel are only 90 days 01:59 into their freedom. 02:01 Now, they didn't have much property, so you would almost 02:04 assume that there was no need for this kind of commandment, 02:08 or love letter, or words that God would give to his people. 02:11 But yet they had enough property. 02:14 They had silver and gold. 02:16 They had personal wares. 02:17 They had stuff. 02:20 And so even with the little things that they had, there 02:23 was still that uncanny temptation on the part of a 02:26 neighbor to take from a neighbor that which did not 02:29 belong to them. 02:30 And there's something about thievery that no only robs the 02:35 one that is being robbed of dignity, but it robs yourself 02:40 of dignity, that it takes something out of your being 02:43 and away from your character. 02:44 And that's why I believe tonight that this 02:47 commandment was given. 02:49 Thou shalt not steal. 02:53 Thou shall not take what does not belong to you. 02:59 But then we begin to ask another question. 03:03 What is the cause of it? 03:04 Why do we steal anyway? 03:08 I mean, after all, all of us are guilty of it. 03:11 What makes us steal? 03:12 For instance, some people say, well, I'm not a thief, 03:14 I'm just a borrower. 03:16 You have borrowed something, but you borrowed it with no 03:21 intention of giving it back. 03:23 Do I have a witness in this place? 03:25 Ah, come on, tell the truth. 03:26 Can I borrow that shirt? 03:28 Can I borrow that dress? 03:30 Can I borrow those shoes? 03:32 And you just assume that if enough time, enough distance 03:37 and enough space go by that you can later claim it to be 03:43 yours, that the other person will just forget about it and 03:45 claim it to be yours as well. 03:47 You borrow it with no intention to return, 03:50 thou shalt not steal. 03:53 Let me call the roll tonight. 03:55 What about borrowing with no intention to repay? 03:58 Do I have a witness in this place? 04:00 You're late on a bill. 04:02 I need to pay my car note. 04:03 I need to pay my light bill. 04:04 Can I borrow some money? 04:06 I promise I'll pay you back as soon as I get paid. 04:10 Weeks go by, months go by, years go by, and you borrow 04:18 with no intention to repay. 04:22 Thou shalt not what, everybody? Steal. 04:25 Or better yet, you use the credit card to make a purchase 04:28 and you have the purchase in your possession. 04:31 In fact, some of you are wearing that 04:34 purchase right now. 04:36 You have paid for it by credit and you have no 04:39 intention to pay it back. 04:41 Thou shalt not what? 04:42 Steal. 04:43 Or maybe you're living somewhere, you won't 04:46 pay the mortgage. 04:47 So you say, I can't pay the mortgage, don't have mortgage 04:49 money, so what I'll do is break something in this 04:52 apartment or house, and if I keep doing that, that'll make 04:54 the landlord continue to have to fix something and I won't 04:57 have to pay. 04:58 Thou shalt not steal. 05:01 You see, it's the line we cross that we don't often 05:03 see and all of us become guilty of it. 05:06 Now, we are aware that there will be some people who will 05:10 live life with less than what others live with. 05:14 And there are some people in life who will get more than 05:18 what other people get. 05:19 There are some people who have a propensity to make money, 05:22 and then there are those people who just seemingly and 05:27 barely make it past the minimum of life. 05:30 And yet, all of what we have, it is enough for us to live on 05:36 earth, at least in the parameters to which we have 05:39 been called. 05:41 Because remember, God never said he would 05:44 supply our wants. 05:45 God said that he would supply our needs. 05:49 Jesus, he seems to explain this when he talks about how 05:53 he distributes talents to certain people. 05:57 To some he gives five talents, to some he gives two talents, 06:00 to some he gives one talent. 06:02 The reality tonight is that he gives to all people what they 06:06 are able and capable to handle. 06:09 That some people, the reality is, could not manage five 06:13 talents with one-talent mentality. 06:18 It would destroy them, and so they have to live in the 06:22 limitations of their existence. 06:24 God knows us. 06:26 God knows that some of us, if we had all the money we could 06:30 have in the world, our noses would be so high in the air 06:33 that if it rained we'd drown. 06:37 And so some of us, we begin to wonder why we don't have 06:41 certain things that we wished we had and it might be that 06:45 we're trying to over load our capacity to manage things 06:48 that we just can't handle. 06:50 And if we're honest with this, then we begin to really 06:54 appreciate that whatever we have in life is just enough. 07:01 I'm grateful tonight that I serve a God, Jehovah Jireh, my 07:06 provider, that he is more than enough for me. 07:13 For those that it's not enough, greed usually becomes 07:19 the motivation for thievery. 07:21 We look, we see and we must have. 07:25 What's yours is mine is our philosophy in life. 07:30 And this is not just opinion being scattered from this 07:34 pulpit tonight, but this is God's word. 07:36 Do you remember in the book of Kings, a story of a king named 07:40 Ahab and his wife, Jezebel. 07:41 Anybody know about Ahab and Jezebel? 07:44 They looked out one day from their palace and they saw this 07:48 beautiful, lush vineyard that they wanted to possess. 07:53 But the vineyard belonged to a man by the name of Naboth. 07:57 In order to get Naboth's property they killed him 08:00 to take his property. 08:02 Do you remember that one day a man was passing through a town 08:06 in the book of Samuel, the king, David--you know King 08:10 David--and he had just gotten himself into a mess with a 08:13 woman by the name of Bathsheba. 08:16 Rumors were circulating around the kingdom. 08:20 The place was in a uproar, unrest and disconcertion was 08:23 the order of the day, and this prophet by the name of Nathan 08:27 walked right up to King David and he knew not to speak out 08:31 of turn because the king had the position to take 08:35 his life if he wanted. 08:37 So, Nathan said, King, we have a problem in the kingdom. 08:44 David said, talk, prophet, what's the problem? 08:48 King, there's a man in your kingdom who has thousands of 08:53 sheep, but the other day a stranger was coming through 08:57 town and he was hungry and this wealthy man who had 09:00 thousands of sheep prepared a meal, but the only problem is 09:03 he didn't take out of his livestock, he didn't take out 09:08 of his sheep, but he took a lamb from this poor man in the 09:12 country, in the valley, cooked it, prepared it and served it, 09:16 they ate it and feasted on it. 09:18 He went to bed and rested that night. 09:24 What do you think we are to do with him, King? 09:27 David said, kill him. 09:30 Nathan, trembling, his lips said, King, you are the man. 09:36 You stole what you already had. 09:41 But this type of stealing, property and human 09:45 possessions, is not limited to the Old Testament. 09:49 Jesus himself strikes very hard at the issue of stealing. 09:53 In Luke 19 we're told of the story of a man who was about 09:56 four feet tall, by the name of Zacchaeus. 09:59 Zacchaeus worked on the inside of the Roman IRS, if you will, 10:02 against his own people. 10:03 And they always need to find somebody who would fight 10:06 against their own, so they would go find Zacchaeus. 10:08 So what Zacchaeus was not in height, Zacchaeus made up for 10:12 in power and influence. 10:14 Zacchaeus was small in stature, but Zacchaeus, if you 10:17 will, was a big wheel. 10:19 Big wheel making big deals. 10:22 And he learned that there was one who could come and 10:26 rearrange life's order. 10:28 For some reason he got impressed by this, because 10:30 they came from the same lineage. 10:32 He wants to run and see him, but his stature prohibits him 10:35 from seeing him clearly. 10:36 So the Bible says he climbs up in a sycamore tree and he 10:40 wants to take a panoramic view and he sees the crowd of 10:43 people pressing and gathering into the town and he looks out 10:47 and sees this one who's coming and folk have all surrounded 10:51 him and they're crying, hosanna, hosanna to him, and 10:55 they're giving homage to him. 10:56 And while they're giving homage to him, the one who is 10:59 being honored looks up and says, Zacchaeus, come down. 11:03 And when Zacchaeus comes down out of the tree, Jesus simply 11:07 tells him, today salvation has come to your house. 11:13 Let me break that down for somebody, because you don't 11:15 understand that. 11:16 Jesus is saying to somebody tonight that salvation has 11:21 come to your house. 11:23 The sad thing is oftentimes salvation can come to your 11:27 house and you don't even know salvation is at your house. 11:31 At no time do you become more generous than when you give of 11:34 what you have to somebody else. 11:36 A lot of preaching is going on right now in our world, all 11:39 these prosperity preachers. 11:41 Lot of preaching going on in this world talking about get, 11:45 get, get and get. 11:47 But I'm here to tell you, if you want to get more, 11:50 you've got to give more. 11:51 You've got to give something away and the more you give, 11:56 the more the Lord will give back to you. 11:59 Jesus said, give and it shall be given unto you. 12:03 Good mesure. 12:04 Pressed down, shaken together, running over. 12:08 The Lord will make a way. 12:09 Thou shalt not steal. 12:10 But I can't understand preachers who preach from 12:14 these pulpits and they're getting richer and richer and 12:17 their members who come and support are getting 12:21 poorer and poorer. 12:22 In the Christian community there's a whole lot of 12:26 thievery going on. 12:28 In the Christian community. 12:30 And then we want to wonder why our lives are so empty 12:34 and meaningless. 12:35 No kind of joy to it. 12:37 Riding around in a new Mercedes Benz but miserable. 12:41 Living in a 10,000 square foot house, but miserable. 12:45 Got custom clothes on your back, but miserable. 12:49 Because thievery is the way you live. 12:53 You never live more than when you give what you have away. 12:56 Do I have a witness in this place? 12:59 Thou shalt not what, everybody? Steal. 13:03 It could be that we are just as guilty of thievery when we 13:07 withhold what we have and we refuse what we have to 13:11 somebody else. 13:14 We rob others. 13:15 We rob ourselves, and we sure enough rob God. 13:20 Oh preaching, Pastor Byrd, I'm doing the best I can. 13:23 I know you don't want to say Amen, but you're robbing God. 13:26 What do I mean? Malachi 3:8-10. 13:27 "Will a man rob God? 13:29 But you say, wherein have we robbed thee? 13:32 In tithes and in offerings." 13:33 From my Christian community. 13:35 And so God says, "You are cursed with a curse. 13:37 For you have robbed me even this whole nation." "Bring ye 13:40 all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be 13:44 meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the 13:46 Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of 13:52 heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not 13:54 be room enough to receive it." 13:56 You know, it's funny, because some of us rob God, but yet we 13:59 always want something. 14:00 God says, trust me with what you do have and I'll give more 14:04 back to you than what you gave to me. 14:06 Can't no man bless you. 14:09 God is the blesser. 14:11 No man can make prosperity rain on you. 14:15 It's God who opens up the windows of heaven. 14:18 It's God who pours you out a blessing that there shall not 14:21 be room enough to receive it. 14:23 All things come of thee, O Lord, and of thy own 14:26 hand we freely give. 14:27 God requires tithes and offerings. 14:29 God says, I'll bless you and God says, for those that rob 14:35 me, they're under a curse. 14:37 You don't have to believe me, all you've got to do 14:39 is look at your life. 14:41 For God says, if you would just give me what you've got, 14:43 I'll rebuke your foes, I'll devour your enemies, I'll 14:48 restore your fruitfulness. 14:51 Thou shalt not what? Steal. 14:54 We are to return, a tithe and give an offering. 14:57 A tithe is our obedience. 14:59 Let me be clear. 15:01 It's not up for discussion and debate. 15:03 A tithe is our obedience. 15:04 A tithe is what, everybody? 15:06 Go with me to the third book of the Bible, the book of 15:08 Leviticus. What book, everybody? 15:10 Go with me to the book of Leviticus. 15:12 Leviticus 27:30. 15:16 God says, "Thou shalt not steal." The Word of God says, 15:30 "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of 15:35 the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: 15:40 it is holy onto the Lord. 15:45 Come on, it is what unto him? 15:47 It is holy unto the Lord." 15:47 Verse 32, "And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the 15:50 flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the 15:52 tenth shall be holy unto the Lord." Now, I met 16:01 Renee tonight. 16:04 This is her first night here. 16:04 Praise God for Renee. 16:05 Everybody give Renee a round of applause. 16:10 Now, if I give Renee this dollar--I'm not going to make 16:13 you get up--if I give Renee this dollar, and I give it to 16:16 her, this is one dollar more than what she had when 16:20 she came in here. 16:22 Are we clear, everybody? 16:24 All right, if I give Renee this dollar, this is one 16:26 dollar more than what she had when she came here. 16:30 She is one dollar richer now than she was when she walked 16:34 in here. All right? 16:36 Now, if I give Renee this dollar, how much of this 16:40 is God's? 16:41 If I give this to Renee, how much of this is God's? 16:48 Ten percent? 16:49 All those who say 10%, let me see your hand. All right. 16:52 All those who say 50% let me see your hands. 16:54 All those who say all of it, let me see your hand. 16:57 Let's be clear. 16:59 All of this is God's. 17:01 Now, if I give this to her, yes, I'm giving it to her as a 17:04 gift, but all of this dollar is God's. 17:07 But the Bible says that a tenth of it is holy 17:12 unto the Lord. 17:14 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 17:15 God is saying, when you get that dollar, you get that 17:18 increase, 10% of it is holy, which is what you are supposed 17:22 to return back to me. 17:24 Now, somebody may say, well, Pastor Byrd, I heard you 17:28 saying you're going to give Renee one dollar. 17:31 If I give Renee five dollars, how much of this is God's? 17:36 All of it. 17:37 All right, we're clear on that. 17:38 All of this is God's. Amen. 17:40 But how much is holy unto the Lord? 17:43 Ten percent, which is how much? 17:46 How much, everybody? 17:47 Fifty cents. Now, Renee, this Renee can say, 17:53 I'm giving 10% back to the Lord because it's holy. 17:58 That Renee, Renee Glover, can say, I'm giving 30 cents back 18:02 to the Lord of this $5. 18:03 Now, the 30 cents that Renee Glover gives back to the Lord 18:07 is more than the 10 cents that this Renee gives 18:12 back to the Lord. 18:13 But let me tell you, God's going to bless this Renee over 18:16 this Renee even though this Renee gave 18:22 more than this Renee. 18:23 This Renee gave God what God asked for. 18:28 All the tithe of the land the Bible says, whether of the 18:33 seed of the land or the fruit of the tree is the Lord's. 18:37 It is holy unto the what, everybody? Lord. 18:41 And that's why we talk about giving what God asked for, 18:44 talk about giving out of obedience. 18:47 That's why people can make more than you but 18:49 have less than you. 18:51 People can make more than you but have less than you because 18:55 they aren't receiving the blessings of God on their 18:58 increase because they're not giving God what God asked for. 19:02 I have seen people in life make much less but have much 19:05 more because God has opened up the windows of heaven and 19:10 poured out blessings, that there shall not be room enough 19:14 to receive. 19:15 I mean, really. 19:16 I'm not a millionaire at all and I don't think we have any 19:20 millionaires in here. 19:21 Do I have a witness in this place? 19:24 But let's be clear, how is it that we can watch television, 19:25 watch the news, follow the Internet, and millionaires 19:28 going bankrupt. 19:30 Filing bankruptcy. Why? 19:32 Because their increase has not been blessed by God because 19:37 they're not giving God what is rightfully his. 19:40 God is a God of specifics. 19:42 God told Adam and Eve don't eat of the fruit of the tree 19:45 of knowledge of good and evil. 19:46 If you eat of it, you're going to what? Die. 19:49 God told Cain and Abel, if you give me a sacrifice, it might 19:53 be a sacrifice with the shedding of what? 19:55 Blood. Cain gave fruits and vegetables, Abel gave a lamb, 19:58 God blessed Abel because Abel gave God what God wanted. 20:02 God said, remember the Sabbath day to keep it what? 20:05 Holy. 20:06 He said you must keep my Sabbath day. 20:08 God is a God of specifics. 20:10 God has also said, you must return unto me a tithe. 20:12 Well, I can't afford to give God anything. 20:16 You can't afford not to give God what is rightfully his. 20:22 I know it's getting quiet here. 20:24 I'm going to preach it anyhow. 20:25 Come on, say Amen. 20:26 Go with me to the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 16. 20:30 Now, the Bible said in Malachi 3:8-10, 20:36 because we're talking about the house of God, 20:38 the Bible said, "Bring ye all the tithes and offerings 20:43 into the storehouse. 20:44 Will a man rob God, yet you have robbed me. 20:46 You say when have I robbed you? 20:47 In tithes and in offerings." 20:49 Go to Deuteronomy 16:17. 20:53 When we're talking about offering, the Word of God 21:01 says, "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the 21:06 blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath what given 21:10 thee." Now, let's be clear. 21:12 Tithe is not up for discussion. 21:14 That's not up for discussion, that is out of our obedience. 21:17 That is out of our what, everybody? Obedience. 21:20 When we give an offering, that is out of our love for God, 21:23 according to the blessings of God on our lives. 21:24 Now, God has been sure enough good to me and if I can return 21:27 10% out of my obedience, I can sure return another 10% 21:33 out of my love. 21:34 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 21:35 Now, somebody maybe will say, I may not be able to do a 10% 21:37 and another 10%. 21:38 The 10% first is not up for discussion. 21:40 That's tithe. 21:41 But your offering, according to as God has blessed you, 21:44 you are to return to God. 21:45 So you know what? 21:46 I'm not trying to cap my blessing. 21:49 I'm not trying to put a ceiling on my blessings. 21:52 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 21:53 I'm not trying to get to the point in my Christian 21:55 experience that I say I'm going to give a 10% tithe and 21:58 I'm going to get maxed out at 10% offering. 22:01 God keeps blessing me. 22:03 God keeps making a way for me. 22:05 Every day is a day of thanksgiving. 22:08 I'm seeking to grow my offering from 10% to 11% to 22:13 12%, 13, and keep growing it because I believe that when I 22:18 honor God, God will honor me, that God rewards thankfulness. 22:24 Give according to the measure where he has blessed you. 22:29 Thou shalt not what? 22:31 Steal. 22:32 But we all want to steal is I'm going into a store 22:34 and I'm taking this. 22:35 I've got sticky fingers. 22:37 I asked one person one time, they had some nice piece of 22:40 cloth, oh, that's nice. 22:41 How'd you get that? 22:42 Well, I got a five-finger discount. 22:45 You know what a five-finger discount is, you know. 22:48 God can't bless you. 22:52 Go take that back. 22:53 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 22:54 But we have to give to God and some people are saying, well, 22:59 we just think you're talking about stealing here at the 23:02 store and stealing there. 23:02 Too many people in the Christian community are 23:04 robbing God and I'm here tonight to tell you, you're 23:07 cutting off your blessing. 23:11 You're cutting off your blessings. 23:13 You are cursed with a what? 23:15 Curse. 23:17 You're cutting off your blessing. 23:19 Pastor Byrd, but I only have this. 23:21 I can only do this. 23:21 You're cutting off your blessing. 23:26 Thou shalt not what? Steal. 23:27 Go to 2nd Corinthians. 23:30 Let's get some New Testament. 2 Corinthians 9:7. 23:35 The word of God says to us tonight in 2 Corinthians 9:7, 23:41 "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let 23:47 him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a 23:55 cheerful giver." 23:58 Let me be clear. 23:58 God does not need your money. 24:00 God does not need your money to accomplish his purposes. 24:03 God can do God's work without you. 24:05 I wish I had a witness in this place. 24:07 But God loves us so much that God allows and extends the 24:11 privilege to us to worship him through our giving. 24:14 God wants to see if we truly love him. 24:16 He wants to see if we truly are going to obey him. 24:18 But don't you get tight lipped, don't you get rocks 24:22 in your jowls. 24:23 Don't you think that you can do and God needs you to do 24:25 God's work. 24:26 God is sovereign. 24:27 God can do whatever God wants to do, when God wants, where 24:31 God wants, how God wants, and God doesn't have to ask you 24:34 permission to do what he wants. 24:35 God said in Psalm 50:10, "For every beast of the forest is 24:40 mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 24:43 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts 24:46 of the field are mine. 24:47 If I were hungry, I would not even tell thee: for the world 24:59 is mine, and the fulness thereof." The earth 25:01 is the Lord's. 25:03 The fulness thereof. 25:04 They and them and all that dwell therein. 25:06 So I may be like Peter and I may have to say, silver and 25:08 gold have I none. 25:09 I don't have silver and gold, but I can also say that my God 25:12 said, the silver is mine, the gold is mine. 25:18 God says I own everything. 25:21 I spoketh and it was so and if I giveth to you, it is so, 25:26 but thou shalt not steal. 25:29 God says, stop stealing. 25:31 Everybody say, stop stealing. 25:33 Ephesians 4:28 says, "Let him who stole steal no more." So 25:40 those of you who have been stealing, stop. 25:41 "But rather let him labour, working with his hands the 25:48 thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that 25:53 needeth." Oh, that's a word for somebody right now. 25:56 God says, stop stealing. 25:58 God says, what, everybody? 25:59 And then after God says stop stealing, God says, 26:01 go to work. 26:03 PB: My name is Dr. Carlton T. 26:05 Byrd and I'm the senior pastor of the Berean Seventh-Day 26:08 Adventist Church here in Atlanta, Georgia. 26:10 I'm also privileged to be the speaker director of the Breath 26:13 of Life television ministry. 26:15 So when you see the Berean church, you're also seeing 26:18 Breath of Life television because we are one 26:21 and the same. 26:23 While in the Atlanta area we invite you to come and visit 26:26 us as we worship the Lord together. 26:28 Our midweek worship service is on Wednesday evening 26:31 at 7:00 p.m. 26:32 and then we have two worship experiences on 26:35 Saturday morning. 26:36 The first worship experience begins at 8:45 a.m. 26:39 and the second worship experience begins at 26:42 11:30 a.m. So, visit us. 26:45 We're located at 291 Hamilton E.
