--- title: The Plague description: Are you experiencing disasters or turbulence in your life right now? May I ask how are you handling your finances? Are you bringing in your tithe? --- by Bishop Jordan Blogs # The Plague Jan 6, 2020 1:00:43 AM [Zoe Miniistries](https://blog.zoeministries.com/tag/zoe-ministries) - [mailto:?body=https://blog.zoeministries.com/the-plague](mailto:?body=https://blog.zoeministries.com/the-plague) - In Exodus 30, if a person does not give a ransom for himself to the Lord, thus declaring himself to be separate from God and putting oneself outside God’s protective care, this person becomes stricken by a plague. There will be no plague among them who would give an offering. The word plague means “blow” or “affliction.” In any case, this word implies a disaster, in the Today’s English Version (TEV), and danger, in the Contemporary English Version (CEV) that God would bring upon people who do not bring in an offering.31 It is also possible to combine the final two sentences of the passage to get a better context of it. Doing so, we can read it as this. “Require each of the men to pay money to me in order to keep him safe from danger while you are doing this \[counting\].”32 Are you experiencing disasters or turbulence in your life right now? May I ask how are you handling your finances? Are you bringing in your tithe? If so, maybe it’s because you are not bringing in your târumah. When you are failing to do any of these things, in your actions you are saying you do not belong to God, therefore His hedge of protection cannot be around you. God is a gentle God. He basically lets you be when you reject Him. Along with that His protection and favor can also be withheld. The money offering received served as a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord. In the Bible, there are different kinds of memorials. When the people gave as they were numbered, the children were a witness to this act. As the Israelites obeyed, they were also teaching their children to obey. The parents’ act of obedience also served as a blessing and inheritance to the next generation. The next generation would know that they also belong to the Almighty God.     Experience the [Power of Prophecy](http://bit.ly/2glId8w) as a gift to open your mind to receive the Mind of Christ. **What do you think happens when the priest is left empty-handed?** [❮ Evidence of God’s Protection](https://blog.zoeministries.com/evidence-of-gods-protection) [The Portion That Was Meant for Consumption ❯](https://blog.zoeministries.com/the-portion-that-was-meant-for-consumption) [![](https://www.zoeministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/logo-footer.jpg)](https://www.zoeministries.com/) ##### Visit Our Prophecology University - [100 Sacred Notes on Developing the Prophet](https://www.prophecologyuniversity.com/courses/100-sacred-notes-on-developing-the-prophet) - [Finding Your Prophetic Voice](https://www.prophecologyuniversity.com/) - [Prophecy 101](https://www.prophecologyuniversity.com/courses/prophecy-101) [![](https://www.zoeministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Prophecology-logo-V-maroon-300x107.png)](https://prophecology.com/) ##### Contact ##### Zoe Ministries ##### PO BOX 270 NEW YORK, NY 10008 TEL: 888-831-0434 ##### Zoe Ministries Church Address ##### 310 RIVERSIDE DR NEW YORK, NY 10025 - [Privacy Policy](https://www.zoeministries.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.zoeministries.com/terms-and-conditions/) Zoe Ministries © 2021 - [powered by Zoe Ministries](https://kriesi.at) Zoe Ministries, Inc., Archbishop E.
