WHY YOU SHOULD TITHE

♦Let's Start by Seeing What SIR JOHN TEMPLETON,who was one of the Greatest Investors of the 20th Century Said About People He noted are Faithful in their Tithing:

⚫"I have observed 100,000 families over my years of investment counseling. I always saw greater prosperity and happiness among those families who tithed than among those who didn’t."

-This quote is contained in a short book about the practice called “TITHE: A LIVING TESTIMONY.” It’s by Andrew McNair, who is not a minister but the owner of SWAN Capital, a wealth management firm based in Pensacola, Fla.

-THE BOOK Also Revealed in a straightforward manner why tithing is more than just a good idea—and how it’s possible for even for people on limited budgets to Tithe and Experience a Good Life.
-Quite an Insightful Observation by a Man Who Spent many Years of His Life Encouraging People on how to Invest Rightly.

♥Ephesians 1:3 KJV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

♦JOIN ME TO SEE The Primary Reasons "WHY YOU SHOULD TITHE" as a "GOD LOVER" and as Someone Who Knows "YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED IN CHRIST.

1.YOU WANT TO HONOR, RESPECT AND OBEY GOD AND HIS WORD

♥Proverbs 3:9-10
[9]Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income;
[10]So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.

-Adam and Eve Dishonored God by Eating of the Tithe as Represented by the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.

♥Genesis 2:17 KJV
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

2.YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR HAND YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED FROM THE "LORD GOD ALMIGHTY"

-When God Delivered into the Hands of Abraham All the Goods of His Enemies,Abraham promptly Responded by Giving back to God the Tithes of All.

♥Genesis 14:16,18,20 KJV
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
[18] And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
[20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

-YOU are to Tithe out of what the "LORD GOD" Has Already Given you like Abraham our Father of Faith Did.
-The Same Commitment to Tithing was also made by Jacob,the Grandson of Abraham When He knew that GOD IS A GIVER and you Show your Appreciation to what He has Given you by Your Attitude of Tithing.

♥Genesis 28:20,22 KJV
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, [22] And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

3.YOU WANT TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE TO THE "ALMIGHTY GOD" YOUR "EL-SHADDAI" AND ALL SUFFICIENT GOD WHO HAS MADE YOU A "POSSESSOR OF THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH."

♥Genesis 14:18-20 KJV
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
[19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
[20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

-When you know like Abraham got to know that you are now a "HEIR AND OWNER OF THE WORLD", your Attitude to Tithing will Change and you will Start to Enjoy much more of the Resources and Good things that is Already yours as a "SEED OF ABRAHAM IN CHRIST JESUS"

♥Romans 4:13 KJV
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

-As a Faithful Tither, Abraham Experienced What it means to Enjoy Long Life and be Blessed in All Things.

♥Genesis 24:1 KJV
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

4.YOU ARE A CONNECTOR TO THE "THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM" AND YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.

♥Galatians 3:13-14,29 KJV
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
[14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

-When you know you are Already "HOLDING THE PROMISES OF GOD" as your Possession,tithing Becomes what you Do out of the Abundance of Blessings you have Already Received from the LORD.

♥Hebrews 7:6-8 KJV
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
[7] And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
[8] And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them , of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

-YOU Tithe Because you are Already BLESSED By the Better (THE ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF)
-If you think you have Nothing you have Received from the LORD and you are not Blessed,then you are at the Liberty to Decide not to Tithe to the LORD.

♥1 Corinthians 4:7 KJV
For who maketh thee to differ from another ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it , why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it ?

5.YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF GOD AND THE UPKEEP OF THE MAN OF GOD, SO THAT THE DEVIL WILL NOT HAVE AN INROAD IN YOUR LIFE TO MESS THINGS UP AROUND YOU.

♥Malachi 3:10-12 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 .
[11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
[12] And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

-Can you Begin to Imagine what your Life will Look Like when you Start to Experience the Above Overflowing Blessings around you.
-Tithing is One of the Ways you know for Sure you are "SOWING IN THE SPIRIT", Because you are Encouraging and Favoring the "RIGHTEOUS CAUSE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD"Psalm35:27.

♥Galatians 6:6-7amp.
[6]Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his support].
[7]Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

6.YOU HAVE AN OWNERSHIP MENTALITY AND UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THINGS ARE NOW YOURS.

♥Genesis 26:1-3,6 KJV
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
[2] And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
[3] Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
[6] And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

-In the Midst of Famine in the Land of Gerar,Isaac Sojourned in the Land by Walking around it like Everything Belongs to Him.To Sojourn means to Have an Attitude of Ownership.
-As He Sowed in Tithing and Good Works,the Scriptures Revealed that He Began to Prosper until He Became Very Prosperous to the Envy of Everyone in the Land.

♥Gen.26:12-14NKJV
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him.
13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;
14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

⚫IN CHRIST JESUS,ALL THINGS ARE NOW YOURS.

♥1 Corinthians 3:21,23 KJV
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
[23] And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

-People who have a Sense of Lack and Identity of Who they are in CHRIST and What they Have in CHRIST,are Usually Unwilling to Tithe with a Joyful Heart to a "GRACIOUS LOVING FATHER" Who has Already Given Us All Things and Has Done for Us more than We Expected.

-As you Release your Tithe in your Church,always Endeavor to Give Thanks to the Father for All Things in the Name of our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

♥Ephesians 5:20 KJV
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

-Your Tithing is your Response of Thanksgiving for All the Father Has Already Done for you in the Finished Work of CHRIST in His Death,Burial, Resurrection and Ascension to Glory.2ndPet.1:2-4

-You Can Do All things through CHRIST Who Strengthens you.You are an OBEDIENT CHILD OF GOD and the Love of God is Shed Abroad in your Heart and you are a "GOD LOVER"
-If you have not Started Tithing,you Can Start Right now by Setting Aside 10% of your Income as your Regular Tithe to the LORD.

♥Leviticus 27:30 KJV
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's : it is holy unto the Lord .

-Don't Join the Disobedient to Eat of what is Holy unto the LORD and Bring yourself under the Snare and Trap of the Enemy.

♥Proverbs 20:25 KJV
It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

⚫I DO HOPE YOU ARE INFORMED AND ENCOURAGED TO COMMIT TO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT AND TITHING SURE BRINGS HONOR TO GOD.

-NEVER Forget, BLESSED PEOPLE TITHE.

♦PRAYER DECLARATION
-HEAVENLY FATHER,I Thank you for All you have Given me and my Family and Done for Us in CHRIST JESUS.
-I make Bold to Declare that All Things are mine and I am a Faithful Tither and Encourager of the Things of God.
-Thank you Father for making me a Blessing to the Nations of the World in JESUS MIGHTY NAME.Amen.

BE BLESSED AND PROSPER.SHALOM.
