Honor God with tithes and offerings. Don’t rob Him. Do all you can to open the door for His supernatural protection against the devourer who is lying in wait to attack you and wreak havoc on your life and finances. Do not trap yourself in a negative financial condition by failing to give the LORD the portion of your income that He commands. After all He allowed all of it to come to you through work and His blessing.
What could be worse financially than failing to honor Him in proportion to the blessing He allows in your life and failing to follow His instruction that would lead to greater blessing in the future. When you don't honor God first, in effect you put greater priority and importance on yourself and everyone else you spend on, give to, or pay portions of your income to. This opens the door for frustration and heartache to reign in your life instead of the peace and joy that God desires for you.
Some people don't have money to do things they want to do and can't seem to save money for future needs. Many times, the solution to their dilemma is found in faithfully honoring the Lord who provides for them and holds the key to their future. He promised to open the windows of Heaven for you and pour out a blessing you won't have room enough to receive when you faithfully tithe and give offerings.
A tithe is one tenth of your gross income. Offerings are any amount beyond the tithe that you choose to give. They should be given cheerfully as you purpose in your heart to your local church and other ministry endeavors for the care of the Church (believers), and the resources needed to evangelize, make disciples into mature believers, and reasonably care for those whom God has placed in authority in your local church to feed His flock. It has been shown time and time again that God generously provides for those who faithfully tithe and give offerings to support ministry works that bring other people to Christ.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
