Supernatural blessings will overflow in your life when you faithfully tithe and give offerings. A tithe is one tenth of your gross income. It is most often given to the local Church that regularly feeds and cares for you. Offerings are free-will in nature and should be given cheerfully as you purpose in your heart. These forms of giving help care for the facilities, personnel, organization, and outreach of the local Church in its connection with the global Church and other connected ministries like missions, help for qualified widows, orphans, and the poor, building funds, and other projects that please the heart of the LORD. All of these things serve and glorify the LORD because they help the gospel of Jesus Christ reach other people even while the funds may also help care for other people’s physical needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, transportation to jobs, medical conditions, etc.
Like the father of our faith, Abraham, spiritually mature Christians tithe and offer because the funds are used to take the gospel to the unsaved and disciple those who are saved so they can develop a closer relationship with Christ. In addition, we recognize that giving moves God's hand to abundantly bless so we can do more for Him in the future than we have done in the past. We recognize that He is the person who provides all our income, assets, resources, intelligence, bodily strength, and anything else that we have in this life.
Do not be trapped in a fruitless lifestyle or negative financial condition by failing to recognize the LORD’s ownership of all creation. Give Him the sacrifice of thanks, praise, and worship commanded in scripture and let this extend via abundant giving for worthwhile ministry and by personally engaging ministry. He promised that if you will give to evangelize, make disciples, and build His kingdom in the hearts of men, He will eliminate the devourer from your life and open the windows of Heaven to pour out huge blessing on you that will overflow into the lives of other people. He also promised His blessing will make you rich and no sorrow follows it. This is eternal and earthly blessing the world cannot match.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
