MANAGING MATERIAL WEALTH
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.
Expect financial well-being to follow when you tithe. Tithing obediently expresses faith that God is our true source. To fail to tithe is to dishonor and rob God.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.
MALACH 3:8
King James Version (KJV)
Expect financial well-being to follow when you tithe. Tithing obediently expresses faith that God is our true source. To fail to tithe is to dishonor and rob God.
Friends,
Practice
tithing! Understand
that the tenth already belongs to God (Lev. 27:30). Realize that tithing is not
only a part of the Mosaic Law, it is a timeless covenant of privilege to
exercise in joyous faith-not as a grudging legal requirement (2 Cor. 9:7).
3: 10 room enough It’s first reference is in Ex. 36:5, which concerns a freewill offering of gold and other materials; the people gave so lavishly that the Scripture describes their gifts as "much more than enough."
Day appears in the title of the famous Passover song of thanks entitled dayenu, meaning "it would be enough for us." Only done that much and no more, "it would be enough."
Each verse lists a favor that God did for Israel at the Exodus and concludes that, had He only done that much and no more, "it would have been enough."
3:10, 11 Your Giving Proves God, Opens the Windows of Heaven to You, and Causes the Devourer to be Rebuked. In this passage of Scripture, God actually invites people to try (prove) Him-to verify His trustworthiness with their giving. He says that by withheld giving we rob Him of the privilege of pouring out great and overflowing blessings. He calls for renewed giving with this promise. First, there will be "meat" or resources for God’s work ("in mine house").
Second, He says those who give will be placed in position to receive great, overflowing blessings. You can experience the windows of heaven actually opening with blessings you will not be able to "receiving" or contain!
Third, God says that He will "rebuke the devourer" for your sakes. He will cause every blessing that has your name written on it to be directed to you and Satan himself cannot stop it. Do not be afraid to prove God with your giving.
In Christ,
