Now which storehouse is the question for G-d has many camp grounds?
Let’s see what the Scriptures says:
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Messiah: for it is the power of G-d unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Gen. 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Num. 6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
We have all been taught to bring in our tithes to the local church, by the local church. If we like to be blessed we must bless Israel first. Take our offerings and alms to the church you choose to dwell in, for the advancement of the Kingdom to the Greeks and the Gentiles.
Lk. 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and G-d feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
This storehouse is G1004 meaning:
1) a storage chamber, storeroom
2) a chamber esp. an inner chamber
3) a secret room
This is saying G-d will provide for you even if you do not have a storehouse.

Firelighter
Malachi 3:2-3
He is like a refiner’s fire…and he shall purify and purge them as gold and silver.
The Scriptures say three things about G-d:
1. G-d is love - passion, heat.
2. G-d is light – principle, energy.
3. G-d is a consuming fire – the result of the combination of heat and light.
John the Baptist said in Matt. 3:11-12: …He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
He’ll put everything in its place before G-d, and everything false will be burned up like chaff.
Fire does one of two things to whatever it comes in contact with: It either destroys or purifies, baptizes or consumes. The difference between heaven and hell is only the condition of the heart subjected to the fire.
If we are to be like G-d, who is the ultimate firelighter; then we are to be minnie firelighters. Igniting fires in the Word, filled up with the Spirit, and walking in the callings of His people
Let your cry be: Purify me until Your will is mine, and I am molded in Your image.
