TITHE; THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT

Tithe is not an offering but a debt, a debt that when we don’t pay, spiritual task collectors called devourers which comes as sicknesses, diseases, problems etc. will devour our wealth or our financial life would be barren, whatsoever we do to gain wealth will prove abortive. You decide what you give in offerings but you don’t decide what you give in tithes, it’s been determined already for you by God.

Abraham the father of faith was the richest man during his era, he was a strict tithe payer (see Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7;6).

Jacob that reaped an hundred fold harvest in a land plagued by famine and unproductivity achieved this because he vowed unto the Lord and said ‘Of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth (tithe) unto thee’ (Gen 28:22).

The tithe is the law of the spirit because it was in existence before Moses was given the law. And when we observe it, the earth shall yield to our efforts.

Who do you pay tithe to:

Abraham paid to the priest Melchizedek and obtained blessing from him, yes, you can pay tithe to a man of God that you desire his blessings upon your life.

You pay it to the church, yes, Malachi 3:10 says so that there would be food (wealth) in the treasure of the church.

Christ didn’t condemn tithing, He encourages it and said ‘... and not to leave the tithe paying undone’ (Matt. 23:23 paraphrased).

If you want God to respond to your financial request, tithe paying shouldn’t be what you should leave undone.

Obey the word of God and never forget to pay your tithe, its when your tithe gets to a man of God or the church of God that though there be famine in the land, but it wont come nigh you, though others are jobless, yet you’ll have job, that though other’s business aren’t succeeding, yet, yours will that though others are wasting their wealth on problems, yet you’ll be usefully using yours.

God bless you.
