In their hour of judgment, they will end up rendering everything to God that they tried to selfishly keep for themselves, but it will not be enough, and it will be too late. This is not to be the inheritance of the believer in business.
John Porterfield is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), who calls himself a “Great Commission Accountant.” He tells this story about the practice of giving ten percent of our income to the Lord as a tithe. “a lot of believers think that giving a tithe income is all that they must do to please God. Imagine that I gave my child a shopping list for the family with ten dollars saying, ‘Please go get these things,” what would you think if my child gave me back one dollar and said, ‘Get them yourself?
All of our money belongs to the Lord. We are His fiduciaries, that is, we have responsibility on His behalf for what passes through our hands. Many believers are ‘embezzling ‘ God’s funds by acting as if ninety percent is totally for their own personal use.” When we stand before God on the Day of Judgment, there may well be a point where the books are opened and the angels will perform and audit in the sight of all!
