MY TITHE

                MY TITHE


Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Malachi 3:8


Now imagine that all the money you have ever been given to the Lord in tithes has been kept in a trust fund earning about 10 percent a year. Before long, you will get it all back. Would you be rich? Or would you be no better off?


In our open verse, we noticed that God told the people that they have been robbing him in Tithe, They have been skimping on their tithes for some time now, and it’s affecting their bottom line.

Malachi urged the people to stop holding back their tithes, to stop keeping from God what he deserved (Malachi 3: 8-10). The tithe system begun during the time of Abraham in the book of Genesis 14:20, when he gave Melchizedeck a tenth (tithe) of all the goods he had recovered.

It was set up by God to provide an income for the Levites who ministered in the tabernacle and the temple of the Lord (Numbers 18:21).

During Malachi’s day, the people did not give. They had forgotten that everything they had was from God; as a result they stopped tithing. Because of this the Levites were forced to earn a living and neglected their God-given responsibilities to care for the Temple and the service of worship.


We to can fall into this same trap when we forget that God is our real provider everything we have comes from him. When we stop giving God a portion of what he has given us, we essentially steal from him.
Be faithful in giving back a percentage of your income to God because there is still a practical reason

for tithing: Your Pastor and other church staff depend on it. In addition, you won’t be disappointed with the interest rates God pays on your faithfulness to him.

INVEST IN YOURSELF (GROW YOUR MIND) But their minds were blinded:......2 Corinthians 3:14 When we talk about "Grow Your Mind" we mean how to take the world to the next level,move to the next level.Here are some of the steps to grow your mind. 1) INVEST TIME IN CREATIVITY . Our creativity doesn’t have to diminish as we get older. In fact, it is believed that the peak of creativity in most people is around 30-40 years old. Creativity can be the catalyst in the manifestation of continual learning and lifelong activity. It allows us to be inspired, have fun and appreciate the beauty in the world. It is very important to manage your time effectively because time is so valuable. Make an audit of how you generally spend your time each day to see if you are prioritizing correctly.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

PREACH THE WORD “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome”. Romans 1:15 J esus left us a message to tell the untold, a message for the whole world, if we talk about the “WORD OF GOD”, what does it mean? “The Word of God is all about God and his Heavenly” which brings us “Salvation”. And Salvation comes when one accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Personal Savior , which also means the process of been saved from the World, the state of been saved from hell, been restored and made new or translated into his Heavenly Kingdom. In the Scripture above, Brethren, Apostle Paul said he is eager, in other words “READY” to proclaim that Jesus is Lord or Preach the word that is Jesus to everyone, which is a duty for every believer who accepts Christ as Lord and Personal Savior, which is the great commission.

FAITH AND THE WORD

FAITH AND THE WORD PS EBEN Now faith is the substance of the things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 You need to meditate on the word of God. The more you meditate on the Word, the more your heart acts upon the Word. When the Word of God dominates your heart, it influences your character and conduct. When faith comes, it influences your conduct and character-it is no longer about what you want to do but about what God want you to do. When your conduct and character are influenced by God that is salvation. When you are saved , you no longer think the way you want to think but the way God want you to think. Allow the word to dominate your hart and all other things that you need will begin to come. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
