Yesterday, I
explained how our entire life and what we own belongs to God; and should be
what we use to honour God as a tithe. All what God wants is our heart; Jesus
said where our treasure is there our heart will be also. The bible says in
Proverbs 23:26, “My son, give me your
heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.” (NKJV); this is done in faith. So
what you give God as a tithe is determined by the level of the faith and trust
you have in God who is your provider.
Now, don’t get
me wrong, giving the regular ten percent is not the issue; the issue is for you
to always remember that God owns everything you have and has given them to you
to serve Him by observing His ways. There is no specific mention of how much we
are to offer God, because we live by faith in love not by rules.
When we read
Malachi 3:10 which says, “...Bring all
the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me
now in this,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows
of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough
to receive it.” (NKJV); we should understand this was written under the
dispensation of the law; so if we are to look at that scripture, we are to look
at it with the eyes of this dispensation of God’s grace.
Tithing is a
reflection of your heart and who you trust and have faith in. What God really
mean in the scripture stated above is that the more you put your trust in God,
the more you get blessed, in other words the more you trust God, you allow
God’s grace to abound in your life. Remember, God knows all what you need; as
you seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness you allow the opening
of the windows of heaven full of blessings that you won’t have enough room
enough to receive it.
Our focus should
not be on how much we could make while offering our substance to God because
this is a wrong intention. We serve the more than enough God, so we should
always have faith in Him. The more you see what God has done for you; you just
increase what you offer God and then allow the blessing flow through everything
you do. It is not exactly the giving that brings the blessing; instead it is
your increase in faith that gives room for the blessings to flow, so your increase
in faith affects your giving; so have faith in God. It’s all because of God’s
love for us; this is the gospel truth.
Why not accept
Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand
new!
