Dave's Story

Dave 512-914-4445 Text or call... About 15 years ago I read an article written by the CEO of the Kerr Jar Company. This is the company that manufactures the Kerr canning jars. Mr. Kerr told about how he was a firm believer in corporate tithing and had always participated in corporate tithing with his company. Mr. Kerr told about the great earthquake of 1906 that hit California and completely destroyed everything around his manufacturing plant. The fires had come up and singed the wooden privacy fence around his manufacturing plant but not even one jar had been knocked off the shelves or even been cracked. He gave ALL the glory for ALL his success to our Mighty God. I like most Christians, was giving to the church, here and there. Sometimes 10%, but for the most part, a lot less and truthfully robbing GOD. His story encouraged me to put Malachi 3:10 to the test for myself. The word teaches us to “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this says the Lord God Almighty, and see if I will not through open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that you will not have room enough for it.” At that time my ex-wife and I were living in this small 3 bedroom 2 bath, 1300 sq’ mobile home and we were bursting at the seams. I was driving an old 1992 Chevy Pickup without air conditioning. I decided I would do my best to make amends with my God and decided that day, no matter what happened, no matter how hard things got, I was going to give 20% of my time and everything I made from that day forward to the Lord. This would be the ultimate test. This was the only place in the Bible where the Lord said test me so if I was going to test him I was going to go all the way and do it the Dave Davis way….. So from that day forward I have faithfully given at least 20% of all my earnings and my time to the Kingdom. I just want to let the WORLD know THAT MY GOD IS A MIGHTY GOD. About 10 years ago our God gave us this beautiful 5 bedroom 3 bath 3 car garage, 3200 + sq’ brand new home and we were able to pay cash for it. He furnished it completely with all brand new furniture. My wife and I both were blessed with brand new cars that Christmas. Everywhere we go and everything we touch becomes a blessing. We have been debt free and filled with the joy of this for the last 15 years and He tells us we will remain this way for eternity. I try to share this story with everyone, everywhere I go. I was sharing my testimony with one of my customers a while back. He called me back, a few weeks later, to tell me that he had been a slacker. He had fallen behind in his tithing by $500 because of financial hardship and was considering filing for bankruptcy. After talking to me the following Sunday he decided ...Expand for more
to catch up and even gave an additional $100 in offering. A week later he got a call and was blessed with a donation of 300 FREE COMPUTERS. This blessing he said will get him completely out of debt. It has made him a firm believer in the tithing promise as well. About 7 years ago our God blessed us again and gave us a new Computer Store Ministry. We were able to spread His wonderful word and collect donations for the church at the same time from our customers. We had an open bible by the door with tithe envelopes that we encourage everyone to fill so they may also receive the promises of our Mighty God. When the economy fell and all my competitors were complaining about loss of business… My God blessed us again by increasing sales by 65% and Blessing us with The Best of Austin Award from the Austin Chronicle. When we are able to put the Lord first in everything we do His Word tells us he will provide. If you slow down and think of His Kingdom, streets of gold, pearly gates, only the best of the best. The riches are all ours. We will inherit the Kingdom and all it’s riches. He tells us it is all ours, and wants nothing more than to see all His children prosper. With our Father in Heaven watching over and supplying us our every need, it is impossible to fail. We must remember that His commandments are not multiple choice and if we learn to live by them we will always be filled with His joy. We all need to slow down and put this crazy life we live in into perspective. If you really think about it everything we own comes from the dirt we are made of. Our homes, our car, our computers, our money everything….. it is all only dirt. It just like us came from the dirt and will return to dirt when we die. So what if someone else has a little more dirt than you while on earth. We all need to give up a little bit of the dirt we are made of. So many people sit around and worship dirt, the almighty dollar. But instead I choose to worship my GOD. MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS, IF YOU REALLY NEED A FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH AND YOU WANT THE BLESSINGS YOU CANNOT EVEN CONTAIN. IF YOU NEED THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM I HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND YOU WANT THE JOY BACK IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU CAN FOCUS ON WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT… Our Almighty Lord YOU NEED TO BECOME A JOYFULL GIVER AND JUST TRY TO OUT GIVE OUR GOD. HE WILL SUPPRISE YOU. AFTER ALL HE IS YOUR FATHER. AND HE LOVES YOU. JUST TRY IT. JUST TAKE THE JESUS CHALLENGE. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this says the Lord God Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that you will not have room enough for it.
