Why Titihing is Good

There has been a lot of controversies on the issue of tithing.
In few words, I will dispel every wrong doctrine on this matter and God Himself will show is light.
I want us to know that the Old Testament confirms the New, and the New Testament confirms the Old.

Jesus Himself said he came to fulfill both the law and prophets which was the old being confirmed by His sacrifice on the cross in the New.
His transfiguration was observed by Jesus being ushered by Moses bad Elijah on either sides of Him. This is very figurative and carries a lot insights and rhema.(Mark 9:2)
The middle man is signifies that old and new are very relevant.

Now, in the book of Malachi 3:10, God clearly stayed His intentions of why we need to tithe.
  • It is for Gods work to be financed without intrusion from the world system
  • to help the truly needy in the church 
  • and to bless the giver and the tither so that the world can see God fulfilling His covenant promised in Deuteronomy 18.8
These are just few of the covenants blessing of the tither.

Tithing is also an insurance on the blessings of God in your life. It closes up every satanic door and onslaught against the believer.(II Corinthians 9:6-11)

If God thought that tithing was obsolete we will not find it in His word. It would have simply be expunged.
In Hebrews 7:1-12, the Apostle Paul reintroduced this principle when he talked about the lineage of Melchizedek and how in Abraham the tribe of Levi paid tithes to God even before they were chosen as priests and prophets physically by God in Israel.

In closing, it is Gods will that we pay our tithes to Him for our good. Not that he needs it to work; but Gods earthly ministry needs it and God is not a beggar. It is our honour and respect to God to tithe; even if God never asked for our substance is it not wise and good to give to a person that has offered us so much?

Think on this and you will find it fulfilling tithing and giving your offerings in church. This can also be done in other ways but I am not excluding nor advising you to stop tithing in any way, but you can add more and more in the service of God. Things like: service in the children's church, help cleaning the building etc

I pray God open the eyes of our understanding in Him In Jesus Name.
