TITHE AND OFFERINGS

(20-11-2005)

For the past two weeks we have been talking about God who gives us more than enough. (EL SHADDAI)
God gives us power to get wealth.
God may give us business ideas and help us to be rich.
God blesses and expects us to be a blessing to others
(Genesis 12:2)

Malachi 3:8-12 Tithing is a way of involving God in our finances.
We cannot afford to rob God because that brings a curse. We want God to open windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing that we shall not have room enough to receive it. God also will rebuke the devourer for our sake. People will call us blessed when they see that we have a delightsome land.

Leviticus 27:30-31 The tithe is the Lord's, just as much as tax is the government's.
It is not compulsory to tithe just as much as it is not compulsory to prosper.

2Corinthians 8:12 If there be first a willing mind it is accepted according to what one hath, not according to what he does not have.
