The issue of tithing should be highly emphasized as many people in the body of Christ are yet to understand the meaning of tithing. From the day, through the help of the Holy Spirit I understood the meaning of tithing, my level of income has never being the same. Tithe or tithing was not initiated by a man or by your pastor but it is a kingdom obligation for us to fulfil. Fulfilling it is a step in the direction of wealth.
I can remember before I learnt about this great secret about tithing that before the end of the month, I will be short of cash (My bank account was always empty before the end of the month). Sometimes, I had to borrow money to take care of myself and needs while waiting for the next salary. This might as well be your situation at the moment. But my prayer for you is that as you read this, there will be a turnaround in your mindset about tithing. Amen. One day I listened to one of my bishops teach, DAVID OYEDEPO about tithing, I told God I want to “bring” my tithe into HIS store house for the next SIX months and I will know if you are really behind tithing. Honestly for the first three month of fulfilling my end of the promise it looked like nothing was going to happen. But from the fourth month my heavens opened and I began to receive gifts in an unusual way, I began to spend less than I earned because I realised the devil has being making me spend or pay bills unnecessarily. The SIX MONTH came and I heard loud and clear from GOD talking to me “Son by Monday you won’t be working here any more, get ready for a new office” I was surprised because this was a Friday afternoon. But, has he said it, it shall come to pass. Saturday morning I got the new appointment. Not just that, I was begged to resume on Monday. From that month every other month has been full of testimonies. The Power of TITHING.
You might say everything is alright with me even though I do not “bring” my tithe to the store house of God. I dare you to “bring” your tithe into the store house of God if your income will not increase. You must have being paying tithe to the devil if you have been doing that to GOD. The unnecessary expenditure I made then was my contribution to the devil. It could be sickness, accidents, infact you name them because according to Malachi 3vs 10, God promised to put away all evil things and bring us good things and even restore the years the waster (devil) has taken from us. Put God to test now and you won’t regret you did.
It is also surprising to know that some pastors do not fulfil this obligation of tithing. It is not meant for your members alone. There are open doors in fulfilling the tithe obligation.
I am careful not to use the word PAY YOUR TITHE because the bible also said “Bring your tithe.” The word payment is synonymous with debt or bills you are owing but "bring" indicates possession. So the one-tenth you of what you earn every month or day is theLORD’s ,“bring” it to His store house and God will bless you. Read Malachi 3vs 9 – 12 for more.
Thanks.
