1 | What is the right amount to tithe. | OT general | Jeshuafreak | 54502 | ||
I wanted to say that it was mainly a heart thing rather than a legalistic compulsion or self imposed law. It should come down to purposing in your heart to give "X" amount of money. A tither is a good place to start. I really liked your illustration and I have given a 10th off the top for quite a while. I also gave a tenth off my tax return. It is not only about money. It is about our heart. God sees the intentions of our heart, sometimes...er maybe alot of times He sees the original intent before we do. He alone sees or motives and were our loyalties lie. If our loyalties lie in the Kings domain we are deemed good subjects...if our number one , top priorities lie anywhere else our loyaty is not for the King. My priorities have at times been all out of whack..and still are in a certain respect...Thank the Lord He is looking at my heart's intent and not at my track record....we are no longer clothed in the filthy rags of our humanity or of our own self-righteousness. We stand clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. **(I switch back and forth from first person and second person to emphasize that I am part of the "you"- sorry bad grammer but you can folow me i am sure)** *** sorry bout the rabbit trail..I tend to do that alot...****Tithe not out of "have to" but out of "want to". A lover will out- serve a hired servant anytime. Give a tithe out of honer, love, respect, sense of duty for the build up of the body of believers-the bride. Tithe and give offerings to the Christian missionary that God has put upon your heart. Offering is what you want to sacrifice...couple Mocha -Cappucinos or a soul reached with the good news....That's why I said last post to look at your pocket book and see where your focus is ...is it on things eternal or temporal.. Of course you have to pay living expenses but when it comes to extras where do your loyalties lie. Do they lie with the King or with the subject.. Do they lie with the Creator or the creation. "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." - know it's in the text somewhere..see if you can find it before I do..lol. Thanks again Steve for the illustration I copied and pasted it for my own personal use if you don't mind. God bless you and your's..Thank You Lord for this opprtunity to come together on a forum such as this. I pray Lord God that we continue to edify one another, to build up with exhortation (transitive senses : to incite by argument or advice : urge strongly intransitive senses : to give warnings or advice : make urgent appeals) that is rooted in the principles taught in the 66 books of Holy Spirit breathed Word of God. That is able to divide joint and marrow to cut right to our hearts it is salt and it is light. Salt to presrve and heal, clean. Light to inhibit growth of mold, disease and fungus. To cause good seed to flourish and to bring fruit to maturity. The Word is also water to cleanse, refresh and prevent the drying out or dehydration of the viable plant. God's Word is revealed in His creation. Let him who has eyes to see and ears to hear. Praise Him who made heaven and earth . Praise Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb of God teh Passover lamb who bore the sins , the iniquity of us all, He who laid down His life, He became the bridge back to God, teh only Way by which all humanity can be saved. READ THE BOOK OF JOHN. I better stop now I could go on and on . I love You Jesus!!! Praise You Father God and thank You Holy Spirit for living in me and bringing such wisdom and clarity and illuminating Your Word Jesus and showing me a simpleton the plan You have layed out from the beginning in Genesis on through to Revelation. It is only the beginning and I pray that You continue to reveal You Word to my heart and my mind And most of all that You will continue to bring me up into the fullness of Your Son, Father God, Jesus Christ who is the express image of God. I know i will never be perfected here but one day I will be glorified in heaven. Please continue the salvation and regeneration, justification, and sanctification and ultimately glorification. In Jesus name I pray AMEN |
