Malachi 3:10 KJV Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
When we understand that Jesus talked more about money than salvation, we will understand why it is so important that we be correct and on point when it comes to the issue of tithing as it relates to gaining financial abundance. Not only is tithing commanded of God it is God’s way of getting wealth into our lives. God in Malachi 3:10 declares if we are willing to bring the tithe to Him that He would open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that you would not have room enough to receive. Just think, the abundance of heaven is accessed with a dime out of every dollar!
Can I afford to Tithe?
One of the worst things that you can do is try to figure out how you can afford to tithe. Tithing to the natural mind is foolishness, when you consider your circumstances. The thing that you have to remember is when you apply human reasoning to a spiritual truth you will always weaken your faith. Human reasoning always erodes your faith in God and leads to disobedience.
Philippians 4:19 KJV But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The natural mind says, I have to have 100% of my income to survive. However, by putting God first financially, He has promised to assume responsibility for meeting all my needs. When we look at it from this point of view we see tithing is an act of faith as well as obedience.
Placing God First.
We have to understand that because tithing is spiritual when it is neglected there will be spiritual repercussions. When we don’t but God first financially, giving voluntarily, we will end up giving involuntary to pay for unhappy experiences such as sickness and other unexpected bills. Because tithing is commanded by God the people who find excuses or the ones that are not consistent in there giving are not only robbing God, but also themselves. They are also unknowingly inviting problems and losses for themselves where there need not be.
Genesis 26:12 KJV Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
If you are serious about having wealth manifest in your life, you have to see the importance of tithing. Tithing is such a serious matter! If you have to choose between tithing and savings, choose tithing! When done correctly God has promised a hundredfold return from your giving, no bank in the world can match that exchange rate!
