Bible Question: Is tithing for toiday? |
Bible Answer: Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. Greetings in our Lord Jesus 1166 The Lord asks us to test him in our giving tithes to Him. I have tested Him and He has been faithful for over 25 years. I at first when I was married did not understand tithing. I had heard many times that it was not for us but only under the old covenant. But do understand that we are willing to take God at his Word on many other things in the Old testament. Would we argue that the psalms are not for today? Of course not because we have each been comforted by these wonderful scriptures which always lift us to higher ground with Jesus. When I first started to tithe I did not see how I could afford to do it. Now I know I can not afford not to do it. The evil one robs us when we do not tithe. We seem to step out from under God's blessings when we fail to do His bidding. He does not have us to do this because He needs our money. It is because we need to give unconditionally to Him. Test Him on this. You will be blessed, spiritually and physically. The righteous will never be seen begging for bread. He does put a condition on it however. Give with a cheerful heart. Do not let your left hand know what the right hand is doing. This is a process of growth that as time goes by you will soon be saying " I was glad when they said unto me let us go to the House of the Lord" just so you can give your tithes.
