Ministers who leave there wives for other women, many
who married women in the church that they lead. Don’t
be mad at me, God made this argument back in the Book
of Malachi!
Argument with God’s justice
Things were so bad that some actually questioned the
justice of God, suggesting that God delights in those
who do evil. But God will demonstrate His justice on the
earth when He sends His messenger to prepare the way
for the coming of the messenger of the covenant “the
Messiah”. (Read Malachi 2: 17 - 3:6)
With all the events that have taken place in the past few
years, many would have the same argument with God
today. But for the faithful, we know that God is a just
God!
Argument with tithing
God asked the people to repent, but they did not seem to
know what to repent about. God revealed that they were
not tithing. If they would stop robbing God, He would

end the plague He had sent to destroy their crops and
pour out a blessing so large that they would not have
room to store their produce. (Read Malachi 3:7 – 12)
Well we seem to know more about this passage of
scripture than any other in the Book of Malachi. Simply
put, we must be faithful to our God and do as He said
and put Him to the test. Many want to portray
themselves as tithers, but the proof is in the pudding,
tithers see God do miracles in their total lives! The key
promise is that He would hold back the devourer from
us! It’s not just having finances come, but to keep back
the things that take away the finances. Health,
mechanical, the government, or anything else that
would suck away our finances!
Argument with the value of serving God
Finally, God accused some arrogant people who began
to think that it was vain to serve God or to repent. They
were so mixed up that they called the proud the blessed
ones and the wicked the strong ones. (Read Malachi 3:
13- 4:6).
