Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Tithe, I would say this is a good means for us to put God first in whatever thing we do.
Tithing and Other Offerings
As a member of any church or denominations, out tithe and offering is giving to the lord.
Functions of Tithing
Tithing is used for several purposes which are
- Building
- maintenance
- Assisting the missionary program.
- Printing and distributing lesson materials.
- Helping the needy ones.
We Are Blessed When We Give Tithes and Offerings
According to Malachi 3:10 we are urged to pay our tithes and offering and see if the windows of heaven will not open and.....
So now we could see how important paying of tithe and offering are important. There’s a huge blessing that goes with this majorly. We were given a promise that include the physical and spiritual.
honest tithe
Paying of tithe isn’t just a matter of paying because it’s compulsory to do so, but it requires honesty and sincere heart.
Abraham and others actually obeyed the commandment of God to pay a tithe of one-tenth of their increase throughout their life time.
These scriptures told us that Hebrew 7:1-10 Genesis 14:19–20; 28:20–22.
Our faithfulness to the payment of tithe shows our faithfulness to the Lord. And also we teach our children the value of this law. They always want to follow our footsteps and example and pay tithing on any money they receive too.
What can we do to teach our children to pay tithing and understand its importance also?
Give willingly
Giving from your heart is another key to the blessing we are talking about. The tithe should be the first thing you get out of your money as soon as it gets to you.
“When one pays his tithing without enjoyment he is robbed of a part of the blessing. He must learn to give cheerfully, willingly and joyfully, and his gift will be blessed”
In 2 Corinthians 9:7 Apostle Paul taught us how to give willingly, for God love a cheerful giver.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
I believe how blessings are cut short because of our habit toward giving or donating in the things of God. Let’s leean to give willingly in anything thing that involves giving, Be It tithe or not.
Are we to pay tithes and offering in the steemchurch?
Some new members ask me this question always. Because hearing about the steemchurch, makes them feel it’s a church that requires all activities that’s actually going on in our churches that we attend.
This is actually not a suggestion but just being inquisitive here. Maybe some of you might have had such idea but don’t know how to express it, but I believe the apostles of the steemchurch can throw more light to this. And also #SIRKNIGHT may want to enlighten us on this too. To some new members that ask this questions often.
But with me little knowledge, I believe all members are to contribute to any donations that involves the church (steemchurch).
