The secret
of blessings lies in our obedience to the law of God. There is time that we are
good to some instructions in the bible but fail to obey some important commandments
especially in finances. God wants to bless us only if we can be obedient.
Proverbs
3:9-10
Honour
the Lord with your wealth, with the first-fruit of all your crops; Then your
barns will be field to overflowing, and your barns vats will brim over with new
wine.
Honour the Lord with our Tithes
Leviticus 27:30-34
30) A
tithe of everything from the land, whether grains from the soil or fruits from
the trees, belongs to the Lord. It’s Holy to the Lord. (Holy means separated,
sanctified set-apart).
31) Whoever would redeem any of their tithes must add a fifth of the value of it. (remember
the lord of yesterday is the lord of today and tomorrow).
Tithe is a Covenant from God
Malachi 3:7-9
7) Ever
since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decree and have
not kept them. Return to me and I will return to you says the lord almighty,
but you ask; how are we to return?
8) I ask
you, is it right for a person to cheat God? Of course not, yet you are cheating
me. How, in the matter of tithes and offerings.
9) You
are under a course your whole nation because you are robbing me.
The Benefits of Giving our Tithes
Malachi 3:10-12
10) bring the whole tithe to the storehouse, that there be may be food in my house. Test me in this says the almighty God and see. If I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that there will be not enough room to store it
11) I
will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vine in your fields will
not drop their fruit before it is ripe; says the Lord Almighty.
12) then all the nations will call you blessed for yours will be a delightful land; says the Lord Almighty.
