SHOULD TITHE PAYMENT BE BASED ON ONE'S BASIC SALARY OR TOTAL INCOME?
By
Soughtout E. Matthew
Reacting to the above, I would like to say that the people of God doesn’t pay tithes; but they gives or brings their tithes to the house of God for divine blessings and to show they honors and worships God.
Responding to the above question, the Hebrew word for tithe is the tenth. It is just a percentage expected of us to give or bring into the house of God out of all He has blessed you with through your labours.
If your labour is being a sales person, a public servant, farmer, artisan or whatever, God instructs you give a tenth of what your labour produces.
Genesis 14:20 "... And he gave him tithes of all."
